Jun 10, Bekah rated it it was ok Shelves: ebooks-read-own , netgalley-reviewed , reads. Susan Andersen is an author that I loved reading way back when. I loved her books Obsessed and Present Danger.

They are dark, sexy, and gritty. She quickly left dark and gritty and became funny, cute and lighthearted. Suffice it to say I really want dark, edgy and sexy back! Jake is a famous professional photographer who has traveled the world over all the while neglecting his home of Razor Bay — and more importantly his son whom he left behind.

At times the writing felt confusing. It made me not really like either Jake or Jenny and it made it feel like their feelings were not genuine and real.

Love special: What is this thing called love?

That Thing Called Love is the start of her Razor Bay series and has a very intriguing setup, a hero who isn't really heroic, after all he hasn't seen his thirteen year old son since he was born, so I was mighty interested in how we could fall in love with Jake and by the end of the book I did warm up to him a bit if not fall over him. Jake is a famous photographer who carries his family history like a shield, after all Susan Andersen is an author who I always read as soon as her books are out. Jake is a famous photographer who carries his family history like a shield, after all his father abandoned many families so he thinks he is unlucky in love and his own one shot didn't go very well.

His girlfriend got pregnant in their senior year of high school, they got married and that didn't go very well, he declined the scholarship that would have taken him out of the town he badly wanted to leave and took a job, then she died and he was left with a baby and when his wife's parents offered him an out, he took it and went to college and kept promising to come back but never did and his son's Austin's grandparents rightly told him not to anymore, so he carried on his life, occasionally feeling the guilt for being a lousy father.

Now, his son Austin is all alone and he has come to be a parent and that means taking him away to New York. Jenny is like a sister to Austin and his guardian. She loves the town of Razor Bay, she came there as a sixteen year old whose life came crashing down once her father was convicted of running a ponzi scheme and her mother for all purposes checked out, so it was upto Jenny to support herself and Austin's grandparents gave her a job and they gradually became close. I loved how fierce Jenny was about Austin and told Jake that Austin had wanted a father when he was small but he got over the disappointment and that Jake couldn't expect to just walk in and wipe out thirteen years of absence.

Jake was kind of immature in a way for me and the part when Jenny told him that he wasn't the only one who had been dealt a crap hand was awesome for me, it served him right. What I did like how he finally got to know his half brother Max and Austin, his teenage angst was fun and his feelings for his father and noticing a girl was kind of cute. The romance department was the one that was kind of slow for me, it took a while to get going and even when it did I didn't really fall in love with Jake.

Now, Jenny she was sweet and I loved her standing up to her father and her friend, she was a nice person. So, yes this book was good and I would read the next book in this series but this is not the best written Susan Andersen but it does take a chance when it comes to the hero. ARC received through Netgalley.

This was a decent read, but I'm deducting a star because the hero pissed me off so much. He gets off way too easy -- after being an absentee father for his son's entire life, he comes home to a mini-him who loves everything he loves, so he barely has to work at it to make his kid love him. And after starting off the story as such a jerk, adding in a little sexual humiliation of the heroine was really overkill.

Everything is served to Jake on a platter -- he just barely gets a dark moment. The This was a decent read, but I'm deducting a star because the hero pissed me off so much. The best part of the story was Jake starting to make friends with his previous lifelong enemy, his half-brother. Excellent sequel-baiting. He became a photographer, traveling around the world and never stopped to go see his son.

He wants to get to know his son and eventually move him across the country to New York to live with him. Like I mentioned above, I was so pissed at the hero early on.

Yes, he was a young 19 year old when he and his girlfriend, who he married, had a baby. I kind of get that. What I kept expecting to come out was that he made strong attempts to see his son, made trips to Washington to be a part of life, but something outside of his control got in his way. Either the Grandparents were a little more devious then anybody knew…something.

But, no. Rightfully so.

What Is This Thing Called Love?

Also along the way, Jake starts to have feelings for Jenny and vice versa. They try to keep it simple, sex only which takes forever to build up and their sex scenes are sweet and allow Jake to show more emotion then he does in other aspects of the book. I really enjoyed Jenny. It will kill her to see him leave with Jake but she knows he needs his dad in his life. She opens herself up to Jake and considering her life growing up, having a father in prison and mother who slowly wasted away until she died, Jenny worked hard as a teen to keep a roof over her head and the bills paid even when she had no one looking out for her.

For awhile, it felt like Jake was willing to risk his heart as well, but when a hero starts out as a jerk, I usually think, great! But Jake was still saying and doing jerky things up until almost the end of the story and I just did buy it. I also really enjoyed Austin and his small side storyline with his first crush, Rachel.

I enjoyed Jenny, the small town setting the story is set in and Austin was fun to read about. View all 10 comments. May 15, Lisa Filipe rated it it was ok Shelves: arc , netgalley. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. Something was just missing. Jake Bradshaw comes back to Razor Bay, where he grew-up, after almost thirteen years of being away.

He has come home to finally meet his son and hopefully become the father that he is sure Austin needs. Jenny Salazar, the woman who is caretaker of Austin now that his grandparents have both passed away, has a BIG problem with Jake waltzing back into Austin's life, wanting to up-root him from the only home he has ever known, and take him to New York City, where Jake lays his head when he isn't globe-trotting around the world as a Photojournalist for National Geographic. Unfortunately for Jenny, as Jake and Austin get closer, she finds herself falling for him also, or it could be the kisses.

Jenny knows that Jake couldn't wait to leave Razor Bay as a kid, so there is a big chance that she could lose Austin, as well as her heart to Jake. Will Jake decide to stay in Razor Bay, or will he deny the feelings he has for Jenny, and take Austin off to NY without admitting how he feels?

Lots of questions to be answered. I wasn't invested in their lives, or what was happening in the story. I finished the book because I felt that I should give it a fair shot, but I didn't feel invested in the story, or the outcome. The one person I liked in the book was Austin, the thirteen-year-old son of Jake and his High School girlfriend who died after he was born, which the story just passes over.

Austin was cute, and honest about his feelings, but I will say that some of his language was a bit off for , he kept saying "dope" and I haven't heard that word being used in quite a while. There was a small secondary story with Jenny and her father, which was very unnecessary, and didn't really bring anything to the story at all. After reading the last release by Susan Andersen, I was very excited to see she had a new series coming out, but unfortunately it fell flat for me.

I wish I could say I loved it, but I just didn't. It was ok, and other reader might feel differently, but I just didn't feel that spark or connection that some Romances can bring to the table. So, I would say if you are not a die-hard Susan Andersen fan, maybe borrow the book from a friend, or wait until you can get the book on sale. View 1 comment.

Something about this book seems different than her past writing and it really stands out as one of her best. The characters of this book are simple and everyday people.
