"Nearly there," Kane said.
She wanted to swoon at the husky tone of his voice. Instead, she forced herself to focus on keeping her left foot raised while she hopped with her right.
"Jaz! What happened?" She looked up to see Jessa's worried face.
"I slipped and sprained my ankle," she answered.
"Oh, no! Are you okay? Where did you slip? In the bathroom?"
"Yes," she responded in a small voice.
Their group gathered around them, wanting to see what was wrong.
"It's just a sprained ankle, guys. Please don't worry," Jasmine pleaded.
"Maybe we should take you to a doctor," Rob said.
"Rob, seriously, I'm fine. I'll just put my foot up and relax. Please carry on with your party. You'll only make me feel bad if you fuss over me."
"You sure?"
"Yes. Please." She looked around with embarrassment as about fifteen pairs of eyes stared at her. She didn't even know who a few of the others were. She had run straight for the bathroom as soon as they got there.
Fortunately, Jessa remembered to make the introductions before shooing her friends back to what they were doing. "It's all right, guys. We got this," Jessa said.
Kane led her to the nearest bench and helped her sit down. He squatted before her, gently picked up her left foot and took off her shoe. He lightly caressed her swollen ankle and oddly enough, his touch made it feel a little better.
"Do you girls know how to treat a sprained ankle?" he asked Jessa and Faye, who stood on either side of him.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Find one word that describes a character in your book very well. I would describe Hannah as delusional. She refused to see things for what they were and wanted to blame everyone else for her relationship ending.
Compare two of the characters in this book. Jasmine and Hannah were opposites and I think that's why Kane chose Jasmine. Hannah was clingy and manipulative, she wanted Kane for the wrong reasons. Jasmine was willing to let him go just so he his career wouldn't be damaged.
What part would you change in the story? Nothing at all. This was an entertaining read, with good plot and character developments.
Disclosure: I received a review copy of this book from the author.
