Finding Dandelion Dearest Book 2 edition by Lex Martin Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

4-4.5 stars. After reading Dearest Clementine, I was definitely interested in reading Jax's story. Jax is on the path to destruction if he doesn't get his act together to go pro in soccer. He's Clementine's twin brother and in the first book, there was a good bit of distance between the siblings which they eventually resolved. In Finding Dandelion, there's a better glimpse of what Clementine and Jax's relationship is really like when they are close and communicate frequently and I absolutely loved that part, seeing their sibling dynamic and knowing how much Jax truly loves his sister and would do anything for her. Also, I had wondered why Jax would even tolerate his mother when she cut off Clementine and the answer to that is in this book. So Jax is a renowned manwhore with a bright future ahead of him because he is set to inherit a huge fortune, what more could he want? Dani is one of Clementine's roommates and she meets Jax at a club one evening, not knowing that he is her roommate's brother and they have a rather memorable encounter, one that Dani can never forget but apparently Jax does. There's not a lot known about Dani in the previous book, but as it turns out, she's very likable, in a sweet and caring kind of way where she's also very independent and trustworthy. It was fun to see her friendship with Clementine develop because Clementine is not an easy person to get to know. Dani is a little insecure because her last relationship did not end well, in a fashion very similar to Clementine's, and now that she's very attracted to Jax but he can't recollect who she is, she worries that she is just that forgettable. Dani has a bold and daring side to her, too, and she's just as good at Out-Skank as Jenna is. Certain events take place that puts her directly on Jax's radar and they become friends. Dani is cool in the way that she's not high maintenance and she can hang out with guys and not have any trouble fitting in. Jax can be a real bonehead at times but remembering his upbringing lends a little sympathy in his direction and the scenes with Jax and Chloe show how awesome Jax can actually be. When Jax realizes who Dani is from his memory, will they be more than friends? Jax doesn't trust easily and Dani doesn't want to be another nameless face or jeopardize her friendship with Clementine so can they overcome these obstacles? Another great and fun NA read by Lex Martin.
Review

Warning! Slight spoilers!

I haven’t read the first book in the series, but having a secret and intense liking for specific amnesia stories (eg. boy and girl meet, fall in love, then one loses their memory and then one struggles to move on or win back their love, while the one without memories is blissfully and cruelly clueless), I simply had to get my hands on it, be it a second book in the series or not. Angst within amnesia plots is so painfully cheesy, overemotional and usually incredibly unnecessary, because there is always something insignificant, at least to the reader, that prevents the one without holes in their memory from revealing the truth and, in most cases, it’s because of the greater good or due to pointless selflessness. It all comes together like a bad soap opera and while annoying and making me roll my eyes, I cannot deny the glorious wonderful fluffy angst.

The situation isn’t really significantly different from my example scenario within this book, there is the boy and girl who experience an explosive attraction and get it on, only for the boy to hit his head after their sexy tryst and the next time they meet, the girl finds out that the boy is her roommates brother and apparently a huge ladies man, so naturally, it would be embarrassing to admit to her friends that she fell into the same trap as many others, and also, the boy doesn’t seem to remember her at all, thus she naturally assumes that she was so insignificant that he simply didn’t bother to recall her. And that would be the end for this lovestory if it only wouldn’t have been for the appalling driving skills of Jax aka the boy and him hitting Dani aka the girl with his fancy pancy BMW. He should have gotten a punch to the face for that and all the legal mess that comes with that by the way!

Apart from the overly used and cheesy amnesia plot, that I apparently love, I really liked the chemistry between the main couple. And I mean after they meet again and, due to guilt and to not be caught and thrown out of his soccer team, Jax takes her in and becomes her personal nurse. Their first meeting was undoubtedly hot, but I was more charmed by the time they spent living together, talking, having fun and simply becoming friends, friends that had the hots for each other, but sincere friends nonetheless. I enjoyed reading about them watch TV, of Jax taking care of Dani and her injured leg, them flirting, etc. They were cute and innocently romantic together. They built a steady and strong base for their blossoming relationship without it being dependant only on their attraction and only on the sexual aspect (although they had covered that part before, he simply wasn’t aware).

While I mostly liked Dani and Jax, each had gaping faults as well, especially our Romeo. The latter, despite his reasoning, past painful experiences and family issues, maybe I can’t say was a total ass, but he certainly didn’t act very rationally, nicely, honestly and considerate on many important occasions with his sister Clementine and especially with Dani. The biggest fail was him remembering his previously forgotten one night stand with Dani, which happened during the most awkward and inconvenient of moments mind you, and being and acting as he did after the revelation. That was a blow in the face for the girl, especially considering the issues and other heartache she had going on, and despite those being too much, slightly forces and unnecessary for the story, it did make grovel time for Jax more difficult and he had to work his butt, which unfortunately, I think he didn’t work as much as he should have.

Overall

You cannot go wrong with amnesia and angst, so yes, I liked the story quite a bit despite its flaws.
I was so excited after reading Dearest Clementine that Jax was getting his own book. I knew that there was more to him than meets the eye.
In Finding Dandelion we get to see another side to Jax and I really enjoyed it. With Clementine we learned about how she was raised and how the things in her life that happened to her carved the path into who she would later become. But what about Jax? He seems to be happy, carefree and have it all, but there's more to him than meets the eye. Maybe if he can find his Dandelion, he can find himself.
This book has a lot of sweet moments, sad moments and funny moments. We get to see a lot of our favorites from DC and get to know them all over again. I'd definitely recommend this series!
I really loved this book. I love these forbidden romance struggles.
