Blog Tour: Just Say Yes by Jen Andrews

After an accident lands Zoey in the hospital, her life, once again, takes a turn in the wrong direction. Andy starts acting differently and won’t talk to her about what is bothering him. He’s distant and broody, and the closer it gets to Zoey’s upcoming vacation, the more unsettling Andy’s behavior becomes. Once Zoey leaves for vacation, life doesn’t get any easier for her, until she begins to volunteer at a local horse ranch. There she meets Josie, a former therapist, who spent her career helping orphans. While she is working at the ranch, unbeknownst to her, Josie is helping Zoey better herself and heal. Zoey and Andy both realize they have issues from their troubling pasts that need to be dealt with during the month that Zoey is gone, and they agree to work on them. By the time she comes home, they’ve both succeeded at putting their previous tragedies behind them and are looking forward to their future together. On what should be the happiest day of their lives, Andy is completely blindsided by disturbing news from his past. While Andy is away and trying desperately to find out if the information he’s received is true, Zoey suspects a life changing situation that could either ruin her and Andy, or make them completely whole. Can their relationship survive Andy’s devastation, or will their lives fall apart forever? Will Zoey find it within her newfound strength to hold them together?

Jen Andrews absolutely outdid herself with this book. I was hooked on Zoey and Andy's story once I first started The Reason, and Just Say Yes has proven even more addictive.

Just Say Yes follows the story of Zoey after the accident that falls at the end of book 1. I love how Zoey and Andy's story develops, and continues to develop, during this series. You learn bits and pieces about their lives prior to meeting one another, and you also see how being around each other shapes who they evolve into during the series. Jen has a way with words, and her character development is top notch. I am absolutely in love with Sasha, Zoey's bff, Will & Justin - the fabulous neighbors, and.. I must say it.. Andy Tate. I believe there will one day need to be a support group in place for all of the ladies fortunate enough to read and fall for the delicious Mr. Tate ;)
I love this book, and I love Jen. She is an extremely talented author, and it really shines in this book. If you're looking for a book that traps you from the first sentence, and doesn't let you put it down for anything.. even sleep - pick up The Reason, then get on this one. You will not be sorry.
Romance isn't my usual genre, but Jen changed that. Give her books a chance and she will give you THE REASON to JUST SAY YES to her books. I promise you. :)
