It has stayed the same since his mom decorated it when he was six. With race car bed and all. Jack's mom died a few years ago and right after his dad won his first race as Maryland congressman. He was gone so much of the time. His grandparents moved into his house to help take care of him. Blythe tries to tell his dad that she is concerned about Wes.

How he looses his temper for no reason. That she is his only friend now. Quinn wants Blythe to tell Jack's dad but not her mom. Quinn is afraid her mom won't let them be friends anymore.Blythe tries to share her past with Jack and let him know some of the stuff she did wrong to help him as she shows him that he is important. Jack sees how his dad is looking at Blythe and that makes him mad too.This book is dealing with tough issues and thier is not a fast fix. But as they open up and see that they are not alone and can help each other out. It makes me think I hope I did not mess my own kids up too bad. Because no one is a perfect parent or grandparent.Bad things happen to good people and everyone needs to cope in thier own way. Sharing can help.I liked the relationships that the cousins are working with eath other and not letting past mistakes keep them apart now. It is always fun to see characters that I have read about show up in other books.I was given this ebook to read and asked to give honest review when done by Netgalley.Published January 22nd 2013 by Harlequin 224pages ISBN:0373657242

    Excellent book. I really liked both Blythe and Wes and was rooting for them to get their happy ending. Blythe is helping her cousins plan their weddings and spending time with her youngest cousin, who is best friends with Wes's son Jack. Therefore, Wes and Blythe find themselves together fairly often. Wes doesn't see himself wanting to remarry any time soon as he and Jack are still grieving for his late wife. So he is surprised by his sudden attraction to Blythe, but that attraction grows stronger very quickly. Blythe was married once and it didn't turn out well. She has convinced herself that she will be quite happy as the "aunt" to her cousins' children, but realizes that it also means she is going to be rather lonely. Blythe also recognizes that Jack is having some serious issues because his dad's work as a congressman keeps him away from home a lot. She had problems of a similar kind when she was Jack's age and knows what kind of trouble it can lead to so she tries to help. But Jack also is resisting the idea that his father might be interested in a woman other than his mother and makes his unhappiness known. Wes is a terrific guy and really nice on top of that. He recognizes that he is falling hard for Blythe, but she is also resisting. She doesn't want to cause more problems for Jack, plus her problems as a teen could create problems for Wes's political career. I could see how she was sacrificing her happiness for what she saw was the greater good of Wes and Jack's lives, because she just didn't see herself as worth the hassle. I loved his persistence and how hard he worked to show Blythe that it was possible for them to be happy together. I loved the friendship between Quinn and Jack. She was understanding of his problems but also had no trouble telling him when he was being an idiot. They both seemed like pretty typical eleven year olds. I also liked the continuing story of the relationship between the three cousins and how they were always available for each other. I thought that the way that Wes finally convinced Blythe was great, especially how he figured out how to deal with her past. The epilogue was the perfect wrap-up.
