Life only gives you one first kiss.
And when Jesse Malone kissed Sarah Ramsey, he thought his life would change, but not in the way that it did. An unlikely childhood romance between a poor boy and a wealthy girl began the day Jesse decided to do the impossible and cross the creek. A love was born, one that would become their shelter, protecting them from the storms of their lives, until the day Jesse witnessed his mother’s murder, forcing him to leave his childhood home…and first love.
Ten years later, life has finally gotten better for Jesse. He has a loving family, a charming pet shop to run, and one semester left before graduating with a degree in architecture. Everything is great, until the day fate intervenes and his long-lost love walks into his shop and back into his life.
Sarah, engaged to a budding attorney, is struggling to keep everything together. Her father, diagnosed with terminal cancer, is running out of time. Sarah races to build their dream business while planning her wedding in time for her father to walk her down the aisle.
Their brief encounter starts a series of events that neither Jesse nor Sarah expects. After a decade of running, Jesse is now forced to face the demons from his past, while Sarah has to choose between her handsome attorney and her first love.
Just when they think love has given them a second chance, Jesse is faced with an impossible decision, one that will change their lives forever.

I liked this book okay until I came to the ending. It just ends and gives you no closure. You can buy the next book if you want to finish the story. What a rip off.Product details

Across the Creek Jesse Sarah Book 1 eBook Jeremy Asher Reviews
This story was very good. It tells the story of a young man and woman who run into each other by coincidence ten years after life pulled them apart. What unfolds next is a very emotion filled account of two people who should be together, but can't because of other circumstances. It's a book any romance lover should enjoy.
I gave this book four stars instead of five for a couple of reasons. The first is that I've never, ever heard of anyone going to a pet store to buy earthworms. That's just not what immediately comes to mind when I think of earthworms. Even though the story is set in Chicago, I'm sure there must be a few stores that sell live bait, and the cost would be less than buying them at a pet store.
Secondly, you would think that a girl who grew up with a father who absolutely loved gardening, and who shares her dad's dream of opening a greenhouse and nursery, would know the purpose of putting earthworms into the soil of an outside pot of flowers. No, the plants are not going to eat the worms. The worms will loosen the soil around the roots and provide fertilizer. Even though that shouldn't be a problem with lillies because they grow from bulbs.
The third thing that caused me to give the story four stars does not have to do with the book itself. Instead it is because of the difficulty I had reading the part of the last few weeks of Sarah's dad's life. This just hit way to close to home for me because I lost my dad to brain cancer too. In one way, I was jealous that Sarah's dad was coherent until the end and was able to say goodbye and how much he loved her just moments before he died. My dad's death wasn't like that. He was fairly coherent a few days before he died, but leading up to that time, he had been unresponsive for several days. And after that one day, he wasn't. So it made me cry quite a bit and made me sad.
Other than those issues, the book was very good. I probably won't read it again because it brings up too many painful memories. But I encourage others to read it. I just want to warn those who have had experiences to mine so they won't be blindsided like I was.
'Love always comes with a consequence.' This line right there sums up Jesse and Sarah, and honestly life in general. Everything you do, including love, comes with consequences both positive and negative. Something I say so much it hurts. However, for Jesse and Sarah there is so much more than that. There's not a lot I can say about the storyline that isn't covered in the synopsis without giving away major plot things. So I won't. However, if you are looking for happily ever after, this may not be the book for you. Perhaps the series? I've not made it that far yet.
What I did like is that the characters, for the most part, are well developed. It's easy to fall into their emotions. Their experiences. It's easy to cheer them on. And want to slap them into next week too. Not every supporting character was well developed but they are supporting and there are more books in the series for that potentially. Right? There were times I just wanted to shake Jesse and tell him to spit it out already, you know. And there were times I wanted to tell Sarah to stop being such a twit and actually use her brain. Sadly, book characters don't listen to me. Which is probably a good thing. Then there wouldn't be a story to tell.
I'm gonna pick on Kevin for a moment. Kevin is the budding attorney that Sarah is engaged to. He reminds me of every anti-hero in every book/movie/what have you. The stepdad in 'Georgia Rule' (that's a movie) kind of jerk. He's so twisted and up and down and entitled and how the heck does anyone fall for his shtick? He totally gives off the creepy jerk vibe from his first scene but everyone seems oblivious. Is it because he has money? Because of his career? Because they are blinded by love? Whatever it is I can't begin to tell you how frustrating it is because let's face it, there are real people like that in real life. And when they blow their circuit everyone is shocked by such a 'good' person being so horrid. No, he's not a serial killer. He's just a toad.
I liked this book. I liked it well enough that I'm interested reading the next one. I need to know if Sarah marries Kevin or if she finally ever sees him for the cretin he is. I need to know if Jesse comes out ahead for himself and his family. I need to know if his family, particularly his brother, pulls together for themselves. I just, there are so many things I still need to know!
Sometimes I think the reviews are written and paid for by or the author. I don't want a book that is advertised for free to require me to buy the next book for the rest of the story. When I come upon an author that I like, I don't hesitate to purchase more books...but I resent, STRONGLY, being forced to. READ THE 1 star reviews BEFORE YOU BUY BOOKS
