Jackson: First kiss. First time. First love. Yep, Allison Murphy and I shared a lot of firsts back in the day. When she left, she took half my heart with her. Now she’s back in town, and even though I swore I’d keep my distance, her parents hired me to remodel their house, and I’m going to finish the job. But one hot kiss later, suddenly the press is calling us the next big celebrity couple. Sure, I’ll play the part, for Allison’s sake—but I refuse to let her close enough to break my heart all over again. . . .

Kristine's Thoughts:
** I received an advanced readers copy from Loveswept via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!**
America's Sweetheart is the fifth book in the Real Love series but it can be read as a stand alone. I have read some of the books in the series but not all of them and it did not impact my enjoyment of this book at all.
Allison and Jackson were high school and college sweethearts who were together for more than four years before Allison's move to California and her path to stardom separated them. Ten years passed and then a devastating scandal happened. Allison returned home to hide out only to find Jackson spending most of his time in her childhood home doing a massive renovation. You can imagine the sort of things that lead to. This is a second chance romance at its very cutest and best.
I have read a few of Jessica Lemmon's books from this series and others but it has been a little while so I forgot. I forgot how much I enjoyed her writing and her characters. There is a sweetness mixed with sexiness that made me smile as I turned the pages. She definitely knows how to pull at the romantic heartstrings of her readers. Allison and Jackson were so sweet together and it was easy to pull for them. First loves, first everything really so who wouldn't want a happily ever after for them. I know I certainly did. However, the star of the book was not the famous one (for me) but the small town business owner with the giant heart. Yes I am talking about Jackson. I adored everything about him and his unselfish ways. He was always putting Allison first at the risk of his own happiness. Sigh... I admit to a little book crush.
Fans of second chance romances will really enjoy this book. It had the perfect combination of sweet and sexy. It simultaneously pulled at the heart strings and heated up the pages creating the perfect balance. I am really glad that I had the opportunity to read America's Sweetheart and for the reminder of how much I enjoy Lemmon's writing in this genre. Now I need to go back and read the ones I missed!
