Could my second chance at love be with the last person I ever expected? I met Chase Wilson when I was on a path of self-destruction. He was only supposed to be a one-night stand – instead he became my number one enemy. As the years passed, I realized that life was worth living and that I’m worth loving. Now my path is self-forgiveness and part of this journey includes forgiving others, including … includes forgiving others, including the one man whose deception revealed my biggest secret.
I was ready to forgive and forget him, but fate has a funny way of pulling people together. Despite my strong will, I can’t ignore how his wicked smile and devilish good looks make my pulse race. He’s been the one man to make me feel alive again, but his past motives and secrets make me hesitant to let him back into my life… and into my heart.
This is the second book in the Let Me In series, but can be read as a stand alone novel. If you love Hollywood Romances with tropes in enemies to lovers, second chance at love and friends to lovers, then this series is for you! There are no cliffhangers, no cheating, and only happily ever after endings.

This is the second book in the series and was a great read. I was worried as I read the prologue but loved how Layla took charge of her life. No longer wallowing in grief but moving forward with the one person who she should not want. Chase shattered her friends life but therr is something about him that Layla can’t resist. This is a great read. I look forward to the next book!
Loved reading Layla’s story! It’s very easy to find yourself feeling sorry for her for everything she’s been through and wanting to shake some sense into her at the same time. Robert as usual is always comedy relief and a dose of the truth when its needed. I’m really hoping there is a third book as I want to know what’s up with the nanny and Seth, and I have my suspicions on the death threats, but I need to know if I’m right! This series is the first I’ve read of Jessica Marin and I have to say that I am now a fan!
Layla’s story is sad and lonely story. Having self doubts and tradgey in her life makes her make the wrong choices. when it comes out that Chase is the photographer who she told the story of Jenna’s to everything starts to make sense. We also get to find out more about Jenna and Cal story. I loved this series so far the characters feel like i know them and every emotion they go through. Highly recommend as must read series that you will fall in love with and have you wanting more.
Perfectly lonely is the second book in the Let Me In series. It definitely needs to be read after book 1 because it picks up pretty much where the first story left off. This time though we get to hear Layla’s story.
The story really had me on the edge wondering what was going to happen. Layla meets Chase in book one but we really don’t get to hear much more about him until this book. After losing her husband Layla is spiraling out of control and finally realizes that she needs to start taking better care of herself. Chase is hoping that she will start opening up to him and that he could be someone in her life.
The drama from book 1 isn’t over and there are many times that I wanted to shake some sense into both Layla and Chase. What Layla had been through is heartbreaking and I definitely felt so many feels throughout the entire book.
I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on book 3 in this series! – By Alisa
After loosing the love of her life Layla is scared to start having feelings again especially not for Chase. But when he declares he will make her love him she doesn’t know what to think. Can she love someone who betrayed her?
Was such a good story I love Chase, doing something he doesn’t really like to try to save the family business which is failing due to an aweful father.
After Heartbreak Warfare, I was MORE than ready for Chase and Layla’s emotional whirlwind of a story. And while I still love Cal (), Chase… MMMMmmmMMM!
Once again I am blown away with the writing, and have to remind myself that this is Jessica’s second… as in TWO… book and I love how she writes. You really want to immerse yourself into the world and be lifelong friends with the characters… Richard LOL! But I digress, back to Perfectly Lonely…
Living in his self imposed purgatory, Chase still takes the show Layla that he is worthy of her forgiveness and her love, amongst the “walls” of life closing in on him. And Layla… LAYLA! *Did the Eric Clapton’s song come to mind for anyone else?* There were times when I wanted to just shake her and help her open her eyes to what was going on around her… that girls stubbornness… UGH! But by the end I was so happy for her to find herself again after so much loss.
I want to know the HEAs for ALL of these characters *Hint Torrin Hint* and can’t wait for what comes next!

This is deep, soulful, emotional, heartfelt, angsty read with all the feels and learning how to te chances. The writing just flowed and had me engrossed to the story from start to finish wanting to find out what happens next. I enjoyed every single minute of it and never wanted it to end. I loved that it was written in dual POV. It was well developed, well written and thought out. It was sweet, angsty and steamy. The characters are amazing and so likeable; loveable and endearing, even though sometimes challenging. It’s easy to fall for them. They have depth, they are complex and perfectly imperfect with complicated pasts.
Layla is a hot mess but she is working on improving herself. She is such an amazing heroine. In my opinion Layla must learn to love herself, let go of the pas, start living for herself again and to learn how to take chances and risks. She is much stronger and braver than she thinks.
Chase is amazing. He also has some atonement to do. Chase is charming, handsome, sexy and really down to earth guy. He needs to let go of his past and overcome a guilt he carries.
Layla and Chase! Loved them from the moment I started reading this book. They always try to one up each other and play cat and mouse game. Their chemistry i off the charts. I loved Chase’s courtship and the little text messages he was sending Layla. The way he was treating her showed how much he cared about her already and that he wanted her to trust him. Both are going through some grief and pain though for different reasons. I love that they started off as friends, or tried to because their chemistry, connection and pull were evident and strong. The more time they spend together the more feelings are involved. Chase is so patient with her, trying to convience her he isn’t the bad guy and that he is worth taking a risk. Their love story isn’t easy but certainly is emotional, captivating and beautiful.
Seriously read it, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait for Sean’s book – I loved him so much in these 2 books especially in the 1st and he deserves happiness. Highly recommend it!
Perfectly Lonely is the second book in the series and can be a standalone but would spoil so much of Heartbreak Warfare that I would recommend the series be read in order. Plus this book overlaps some of book one so it is good to visualize the bigger picture.
When I read Heartbreak Warfare, I was hoping to see Layla and Chase to get another opportunity at finding their second chance. Miscommunication, secrets, alcohol and a one night stand had possibly ruined what could have been something great. Both Layla and Chase have a past that makes them make stupid choices, mistakes and leaves each with regrets.
When I turned the last page, I was hoping that book 3 was already out so I can delve into more about this group of individuals. It is almost like a soap opera. Stay tuned for the next book to find out…….don’t know but looking forward to seeing just what will happen next.
This is the second book in this amazing series, and is Layla and Chase’s story. Both of these characters are working through grief and pain, yet can they heal each other? No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed! This is a beautifully written story from this extremely talented author, and is filled with emotion, angst, love, and is a steamy and healing story. I was totally intrigued and captivated throughout, and cannot wait to read more from this author, and I highly recommend her work for all readers!
