About this ebook

From New York Times bestseller Lexi Ryan comes a sexy new enemies-to-lovers office romance about two people who never thought to hope for their own happy ending.

Two and a half years ago, I hit rock bottom and lost everything. Since then, I’ve turned my life around—no more booze, no more drugs, no more self-sabotage. With a new business to run and old promises to keep, the last thing I need is smart-mouthed hellcat Veronica Maddox disrupting my world.

Veronica’s as beautiful as she is infuriating. She pushes all my buttons. Maybe that didn’t matter before, but now she’s working for me. She keeps this place running. As a business owner, I appreciate that. As the man she hates and the one who can’t forget our wild night together, I’m slowly losing my mind. I told myself I could resist her, but we only get along when our hands are doing the talking. Before I know it, our relationship is anything but professional.

As a single mom, Veronica has a difficult past of her own, and when it comes knocking at her door, I find myself feeling inexplicably proprietary. Because no matter how much I try to convince myself otherwise, what started as two enemies looking for release has developed into something neither of us imagined possible. And while Veronica’s a complication I never wanted, she is exactly what I need.

Not Without Your Love is the seventh novel in The Boys of Jackson Harbor series. These books can all be read as standalones, but you’ll enjoy reading them as a series!

Ratings and reviews

I absolutely loved Not Without Your Love by Lexi Ryan, the seventh and final book in The Boys of Jackson Harbor. I have read other books by Lexi Ryan and have always thoroughly enjoyed all of them. I absolutely loved this book. I loved the characters and the Michigan setting. I could not put it down and I loved every moment on every page. Each book in the series keeps getting better and better and I have truly loved each book, so Not Without Your Love is bittersweet for me since it is the last book in the series. Lexi Ryan has once again provided her readers with amazing characters. I love all the characters in Not Without Your Love, they feel like family! Who doesn't love hot sexy men, strong, passionate females, and big loving families, who always support one another? My favorite part of the book is how the title of the book, and the cover photo are incorporated into the love story. Lexi Ryan continues to deliver all that and so much more. Once again Lexi Ryan has given her readers another amazing book. Not Without Your Love is filled with all the heartbreaking and heartwarming moments and surprise plot twists, that I have come to love and expect in a Lexi Ryan love story, I especially loved the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. She has once again proven that she is an incredible storyteller. I really enjoy how the story is told in the first perspective from the main characters. I love getting into the minds of the characters to know what they are really thinking and feeling. Not Without Your Love is the story of Veronica Maddox, single mother of three-year-old, Jackson, twin sister of Nicole and receptionist at Heartbreak Bay Adventures and Colton McKinley, co-owner of Heartbreak Bay Adventures. Veronica and Colton had a sexual encounter two and a half years prior. Veronica has been short and nasty with Colton since she was hired on as the receptionist. Veronica is hoping to find a job in education so that she can utilize her college degree. Veronica is drowning in student loan and credit card debt. I love how Veronica reveals to Colton why she treats him the way she does. As Veronica and Colton spend more time together, things change between them. Neither Veronica nor Colton is proud of their pasts. I love how both Veronica and Colton get real with their feelings and that they reveal things to one another that they have never revealed to anyone before. A surprise plot twist change things for Veronica and Colton. I really loved Not Without Your Love. I love that the Jackson family outsiders, Veronica and Colton got their own love story with all the plot twists. I love Colton’s relationship with Jackson. Not Without Your Love was so perfectly written love story. Not Without Your Love felt like a family reunion and catching up with all the other characters from the other books in the series. I love the characters and the family dynamic in Not Without Your Love, the characters feel like family and friends. I enjoy all the interactions among the Jackson siblings and their significant others, it feels like real family love and makes me laugh at their teasing. I love how Veronica and Colton work out all their issues and get their happily ever after. My favorite part of the series are the epilogues and how that wrap up all the details of the happily ever after. I love how Lexi Ryan introduces the characters for her new Jackson Harbor Heartbreakers series. I cannot wait for the new series. Not Without Your Love is a beautifully written love story and I loved every moment. Highly recommend this beautifully written story.

I love my visits to Jackson Harbor and I was excited for Colton McKinley’s story, this book was everything I expected and so much more. If you love small town romances and single parents stories you should definitely have Not Without Your Love on your TBR list. Single mum Veronica Maddox is offered a job by Colton, he is determined to have her working for him but neither of them realised how this job offer would turn their lives upside down….. Veronica has not had an easy life but determined to make the best of her life she becomes strong, sassy and feisty, she takes no nonsense but what will happen when the past comes back to haunt her. Will the past tear this couple apart or will it make them stronger. I adored this couple, I found them easy to relate to and I found their journey believable, I was cal from the first few pages and there was no putting down until I had read the final line. A beautifully written love story that’s all about learning to trust again, learning to accept friendship but more importantly learning to take a leap of faith knowing there is someone to catch you. A great addition to this wonderful series.

5 Star Review Not Without Your Love (The Boys of Jackson Harbour #7) by Lexi Ryan I know this is hard to believe, but Lexi Ryan is a relatively new author to me. From start to finish, I was captivated by the story that she wove, drawn in and I had a hard time putting this one down. I loved the dynamics of the Jackson family and when I learned that Colton McKinley was getting his own story I knew I had to read it. Convinced to give Veronica Maddox a job, he has no idea how his life is about to change. The chemistry between them is off the charts, even though she pushes his buttons he cannot ignore the attraction. I found both Colton and Veronica easy to relate to and and I had many swoon worthy moments with Colton. He has turned his life around and made a success of it and he deserved to find happiness. Whilst Veronica is a single mum who has not had it easy. I loved how sassy and feisty she was and enjoyed her ability to stand up for what she believes in. However, what will happen when the past comes back to haunt them? Will it tear them apart or make them stronger? This was a well written story of love, friendship and second chances, of taking a leap of faith and of believing in yourself.
