Your life can change in the blink of an eye.
How you adapt to these changes is what defines you.
Jake Fox is an aspiring actor who has found little success.
He is also a typical, cliche, bad boy, who ‘loves them and leaves them’ without love ever coming into the equation.
Emma Campbell is finding her way in life, struggling with memories from her past, an apathetic mother and the choices ahead … mother and the choices ahead of her. Can she keep focused on the light when life keeps surrounding her in darkness?
Polar opposites, will love be the thread that binds them or will circumstances beyond their control, tear them apart?
Suitable for readers Age 18+ due to some disturbing scenes and sexual content

E.S. Carter has a way of subtly bringing you into the world of her characters. There’s something very real about E.S. Carter’s characters and I found myself easily identifying with them. I loved how the story stayed true to the characters and didn’t descend into all too familiar insta-love territory. I especially loved the irascible Jake! There’s …
Have to buy sequel for the complete story
The story definitely had me started reading just draws you in and left with awe until the end. Complex ever changing relationship in this easy read.
He is finding getting work as an actor slow but he is also a bad boy. He uses women and never falls in love. Her life seems all surrounded by darkness as she tries to find some light in her life. They are opposites but can they be the ones for each other? See if they can
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily …
This is the first book in the love by numbers series, I have read a couple of the other books which I thought were great but to read the book that started the series was a real treat! Jake and Emma are worlds apart, he comes from a successful family and she comes from a struggling family but one night brings them together and changes their lives …
I had forgotten how beautifully written this story is, this is our first encounter with the Fox family, and the debut by this author. We get a little look at each of the brothers while watching the chemistry between Emma and Jake flare, its the first of a duet so you will want Twenty One lined up ready for when you finish!
I loved watching Jake, …
The story is written in duel POV – I loved the different perspectives the characters had. You get to know Jake and Emma, and their approach to life. There is some drama, the story is well written and realistic. I really liked the way the characters were portrayed following on from the drama, and seeing how it affected them. The story unfolds at a …
I loved this book!
Told in alternating and overlapping POV, it is the story of Jake an aspiring actor and complete man-whore and Emma who is determined to be strong and must overcome some immense tragedies in her young life.
I loved all of the British slang throughout. An emotional story but told with touches of humor.
The character development …
This is a wonderful debut novel.The author did a good job writing this story with double POV so the reader is not left hanging to know what both the characters are thinking.
I really enjoyed this book and appreciated all the characters,I hope every single one of them will have their own story.
Can’t wait to read the sequel to keep falling in love …
It was hard for me to like the main character Jake in the beginning. After Emma he was more likable. Emma was a little lost. She was trying to find herself. Drama and insecurities keep coming between them and they must find a way to overcome it all. The good thing about this book is the writing except for the repetitiveness . It was easy to read …
Loved the story. Will read more by this author.
Oh my days! What a book. The pain, the longing, the emotions in this book gripped me from the very beginning.
Emma and Jake are completely different characters, but they are so meant to be together! You just know they can fill in each other’s missing pieces, that their souls are meant to be together.
This story has its fair share of tragedy, but …
I loved the characters and their friends and family. I’ve read all in this series.
I gave it a five, until the ending. Beyond belief, don’t think I will ever read one of her books again.
I was enjoying it right up to the end….totally unsatisfying ending.
This book felt so slow. The build up took way too long. It was semi torturous waiting for something good to finally happen. I absolutely loved the next book that brought this one together.
