The first time I shook her hand, I knew she was the one.

But my breath stalled when I grazed the cool metal on her finger and when I looked down at that ring, my heart stopped.

Now, she’s back in town and after five years, I had no idea what’d happened. Instead of her husband standing by her side, holding her hand, there was a little girl.

I wanted to know their story.

Because when it came to Melanie, I needed to know every little thing.

Jordan Bates did a fabulous job with this book! I love the conflict and how she not only handled the main characters doubts and insecurities, but also that of a mother! Highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to read about second chance at love and second chance at living again!

Melanie and Jack!

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2020

Even from the brief moment that he spent with Melanie Jack knew that she was special but finding out she was married quickly put an end to any thoughts of a future he might have had with her. Even though it’s been five years he hasn’t been able to move on so now that she is back in town, he isn’t about to lose her a second time.

With the passing of her husband Melanie finds herself a single mother to her daughter Amelia so coming home to be close to her brother is exactly what she needs. She is conflicted about her feeling for Jack as she sees a man who is wiling to do anything for her and her daughter, but not everyone agrees that they should be together.

I enjoyed both these characters as they are both trying to overcome their pasts for every different reasons.

I wanted to like this one… I just couldn’t. I did not like Melanie it the way she treated Jack. I skipped to the end just to see how it ended.

Every Little Thing (The Ink Well Chronicles, Book 4)
Jordan Bates

This is the first book I have read by Jordan and the first in this series. I do believe you can read this as a stand alone. I very much enjoyed this book and the way this author writes, so I hope to read the rest of this series at some point. This book is about love at first sight, second chance romance, and allowing yourself to love and live again. You will feel so many emotions while you are reading this one. All of Jack's friends still think he is the single playboy like he was in college, but they don't realize he changed his ways right after he first met Melanie. He instantly fell in love with her and intuitively knew she was the woman for him, but alas she was already married, so nothing could come of it, and she was moving to California. Five years later, Melanie is back in town with a daughter. Is fate bringing these two together? Jack seems to think so and that this is his chance. Can Melanie open her heart to love again or is she too traumatized from losing her husband? At times in this book, you want to throttle Melainie because she seems to not know what she wants, and at times it seems like she is playing with Jack and his love for her. This book seems so real. Jack is definitely great book boyfriend material. He knows he has to prove his love to Melanie and Amelia. The real scene stealer in this book is Amelia! She is something else as a five year old. She holds no punches and steals your heart. If you are looking for something with plenty of emotions and believe in love at first sight, then I highly recommend you pick this one up and read it.

4 Stars

This is a very nice quick fun sweet romance. I really enjoy this series.

“I love you because you see me for who I am, Melanie. You’ve never put up with my shit and you’ve always given me the lip I needed. Our imperfections and insecurities, together those make us who we are and damn, we are nearly perfect.”

Could have been good, needs major editing

Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2020

I wanted to love this book. The premise had SO much potential, and for the most part the story itself is good. I will say that I absolutely loved all the interactions between Jack and Amelia, Melanie’s daughter. The father/daughter day at her school was especially sweet and made me tear up a little. I actually started out not liking Jack at all, but how he treated Amelia and Melanie won me over quickly.

Now for the rest.

I decided to just copy and paste my notes because it was my honest, raw reactions as I read.

"Ch 1- Jack spent less than 5 minutes with Melanie five years ago and barely had a conversation beyond introductions. WTF is he thinking, deciding he’s in love with her and hasn’t dated since? That’s insane.

Then in chapter 2 – “I’m not sure it’s called feelings right now since I barely know her.” NO S**T

Then turns around and says he’s going to prove to her that she wants him as badly as he wants her.

NO. They had one conversation five years ago, and her husband died suddenly a year ago leaving her with a daughter. SHE DOESN’T WANT HIM."

In the beginning, Jack had a bit of a stalker vibe to him. I cringed at almost all of his narration. And since with the exception of the first chapter, the book is told from his POV only, there was a lot to cringe about. Like I said before, he did grow on me after a while and won me over. But in the beginning I was pulling for Melanie to run and never look back. Also, Max, her brother. Yeah I get the protective older brother thing, especially since they are close and he helped her through the death of her husband, but I hate the whole forbidding friends from dating the sister cliche. If the guy is that bad, why are you friends? Jack is supposedly his best friend of over a decade!

There are more, but those can be summarized easily. The editing in this book is, honestly, horrendous. I was letting it go because ARCs are almost always unedited, and I figured all the errors would be corrected before publishing. Then I reached the end and saw a paragraph thanking her amazing editor. I’m sorry, no. My fourth grader would catch these mistakes in a heartbeat – how did a professional editor miss this, unless it’s the author’s best friend and she doesn’t want to hurt feelings. And if that’s the case, someone else needs to be editing the books for her. Some examples: “dually noted” instead of duly noted. MANY instances of extra words being in the sentence that don’t make sense, or missing from the sentence, as if the sentence was highlighted and retyped but all the words didn’t get selected so they are still in the sentence. Several times the wrong word was used instead of the similarly-sounding correct word. Also lots of punctuation errors – the teacher was consistently referred to as “Miss. White,” apostrophes used for pluralization, random commas in sentences.

Another annoyance that kept taking me out of the story is the timeline. Five years ago Jack and Melanie meet when Jack’s mother is interviewing her for a job in California, where she is moving with her husband in a short time. Five years later she is back in Atlanta with a five year old daughter who didn’t exist before, and she wasn’t pregnant when they moved. And it’s referenced so many times – did no one do the math? Especially when Amelia turns six years old six months after they are back in Atlanta.

In short, if this book was re-edited, it would be so much better. The story itself is really sweet and worth reading for Jack and Amelia’s relationship alone. But the multitude of errors that should never have made it this far, and the horrible beginning, take a lot away from what could have been a great book.
