More Than Just A Name
One Night Forever Changed My Life...
Meredith~
I wasted eight years of my life on a marriage that was doomed from the start. My ex-husband only married me for my family name and money. Now that the divorce is final, I'm ready to move on focusing on providing a happy life for our son. When my friends insisted they take me out to celebrate my new found freedom, I reluctantly agreed.
I should have asked where we were going. I never imagined we'd end up in a male strip club. I was ready to leave before we walked through the doors. That is until I locked eyes with a masked dancer. His green eyes bored into me, owning me with just one look. Then when our hands touched, he made me feel things I'd never felt, and want things I'd never dared to dream.
Just when my dream seemed like it was coming true, my worst nightmare became my reality. My divorce was just a useless piece of paper, and I’m afraid that not even love will be able to save me.
Nash~
I can't believe I'm doing this. Never did I ever think that this would be me. I'm an elementary school assistant principal, not a male dancer. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm doing this for my brother. I'm helping him keep his job.
That's the only thing that's getting me through this night. That is until I lock eyes with the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Long blonde hair, expressive blue eyes, and a body that would bring any man to his knees. Going into it I never thought this night would change my life and hers so profoundly.
I have my work cut out for me. There is more than just our love at stake. I’ll put everything on the line to save her, and convince her that she's more than just a name.

Where do I begin? First, just know this is an insta-love book. I happen to love those if they're written in a believable manner. This was absolutely believable. I loved every single word.
I fell in love with almost all the characters from the first appearance in the book. Nash,omg! I want my own Nash, like RIGHT NOW! He is an absolutely amazing man. Sweet as pie and hot as hades. If you're looking for an alpha male that barks orders,this isn't that book. To me,that's my favorite part. Of course we all love our alphas, but I love the rarity of reading a book where the hero in absolutely gorgeous, heartfelt, genuine,caring,do anything in the world for those he loves. That is Nash! He is perfection.
Meredith is a strong woman. Though she is extremely rich,you'd never know. She is down to earth,extremely sweet, and fiercely protective of those she loves. I admire a woman like her.
On to Gage. Gage is the sweetest little boy I ever did see. He is so polite, sweet, funny, and quite intelligent for his age. I absolutely fell head over heels for this little fella and everyone else will too.
Then there's Frankie. Frankie is the ex that you want to jump off the highest cliff and be banished to hell where he belongs. I won't go into anymore detail that will give the storyline away because where he's concerned, you never know what will happen next.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book. I read it in one sitting and found myself with a permagrin the entire time. There were a few moments that I had ugly and happy tears rolling down my face which I think is imperative in every good book. I can't wait for the book to be available to the world.

More than just a name de Lynn Jaxon
Argumento:
Meredith
Desperdicié ocho años de mi vida en un matrimonio que estaba condenado desde el principio. Mi ex-marido solo se casó conmigo por mi apellido y mi dinero. Ahora que el divorcio es
definitivo, estoy lista para centrarme en proporcionar una vida feliz a nuestro
hijo. Cuando mis amigas insistieron en llevarme a celebrar mi nueva libertad,
acepté de mala gana.
Debí haber preguntado a dónde íbamos. Nunca imaginé que acabaríamos en un club de estriptis masculino. Estaba lista para irme antes de que atravesáramos las puertas. Eso fue hasta que miré a los ojos a un bailarín enmascarado. Sus ojos verdes se clavaron en mí, poseyéndome con una sola mirada. Luego, cuando nuestras manos se tocaron, me hizo sentir cosas que nunca había sentido, y querer cosas que nunca me había atrevido a soñar.
Justo cuando mi sueño parecía hacerse realidad, mi peor pesadilla se convirtió en mi realidad. Mi divorcio era solo un pedazo de papel inútil, y tengo miedo de que ni siquiera el amor sea capaz de salvarme.
Nash
No puedo creer que esté haciendo esto. Nunca pensé que este sería yo. Soy el vicedirector de una escuela primaria, no un bailarín. Tengo que seguir recordándome que estoy haciendo esto por mi hermano. Le estoy ayudando a mantener su trabajo.
Eso es lo único que me está ayudando a pasar esta noche. Eso es hasta que veo a la mujer más hermosa que haya visto. Cabello largo y rubio, ojos azules expresivos y un cuerpo que pondría a cualquier hombre de rodillas. Entrando en ello, nunca pensé que esta noche cambiaría mi vida y la de ella tan profundamente.
Mí humilde opinión:
Empezó bien pero no terminé el primer capítulo cuando sentí que había algo muy malo aquí. Comenzó a ponerse poco interesante y sobretodo extra súper mega cursi, y eso que me gusta lo cursi, los protagonistas eran siempre taaaan educados y tenían taaaan poca personalidad que no me dejó con la boca abierta.
Lo peor de todo fueron los diálogos que me descolocaban totalmente, eran algo así... 'Mí nombre es Nash. Mis padres me pusieron así porque les gusta Nashville" (Porqué él le dice eso a la heroína cuando no viene al caso?); "Me encantaría volver a salir contigo, quieres pasar a mí casa y meterte en mí jacuzzi?" (Era tan increíble, después de la primera cita la heroína lo invita a pasar y le daba un tour por la hermosa y antigua casa, él diciéndole lo hermosa que era la casa no? Antes de meterse al jacuzzi caen en los brazos del otro y se lanzan a hacerse un oral, WTF!? ) "Gracias por salir conmigo eres una mujer increíble y tu eres el mejor besador estoy lista para salir contigo otra vez" ... Enserio!? Eran personas adultas no adolescentes, estos diálogos me hacían rodar los ojos! Y lo peor fue que esto continúo y continúo!
Al principio de la historia, antes de que Nash le revele quién realmente es a Meredith, él le dice que no quería decirle por mensaje pero porqué no la llamó entonces y se lo explicó? Los mensajes de texto están bien pero si se escribieron por semanas no entiendo porqué ninguno llamó al otro, fue raro y tonto.
Y ni hablar del pobre Gage, ese niño la pasa mal con el imbécil de padre que tiene, me desagradó leer su sufrimiento!
Me había gustado mucho la portada y me intrigó el título, el argumento también pero una vez que empecé a leer me arrepentí de haberlo escogido como lectura. Era aburrida, protagonistas con un mal insta-love, un ex horrible que no entendía porqué la heroína continuaba soportando y los diálogos!!! Esos me hicieron de esta historia peor!
La verdad, no entiendo porqué este libro tiene tantos elogios y buenas puntuaciones.

Nash is a heavenly man I want to marry.
Meredith has had a hard life since she married her husband. He is a cruel and abusive man who showed her no love. Now that she's finally free she goes out to celebrate with some strippers. Nash is the man she truly deserves. Hes so swoony just the right amount of possessive and an absolute sweetheart. He gives her everything her husband never gave her. This book is just so amazing! It starts with an epic love story, then takes the most amazing turn you wont see coming. I've loved reading this story and I cant wait to read the next book out of Lynn's imagination.

Nash is the man she truly deserves. Hes so swoony just the right amount of possessive and an absolute sweetheart. He gives her everything her husband never gave her and her son. He’s there totally package. Where can I mind me a Nash?
The way Lynn brings these amazing characters and secondly characters to life is amazing. I absolutely love that we go to see a POV from Gage, Merediths son. This story is an epic love story about a second chance at love and there is definitely a twist I didn’t see coming that will have you on the edge of your seat.
Lynn Jaxon is definitely a author everyone needs to be reading.

This book has left me speechless!!!!
I have to say this book is my favorite of 2019! Lynn really put a lot of heart and soul into this story. It broke my heart then put it back together only to break it again. A lot of the subject matter in this story really hit me on a personal level.
Rest at ease though I recommend this book to all my friends..

Fantastic read from Lynn Jaxon!! Meredith is in marriage hell but finally seeing the light to kick her cheating, horrible husband to the curb as this story opens. From the start you are cheering for Meredith and her adorable son, Gage, to find a happy. Nash Brooks is a single, but focused and loyal guy about to start a new job as an elementary principal when his brother asks for a favor. These two have a Chance meeting that becomes a chance at what they both long for, unless her awful ex wrecks it.
So much humor, passion and phenomenal banter in this story. There may be an insta-attraction, but it didn’t feel like an insta-love. There is a build up with Meredith and Nash talking that made it feel less rushed, despite the timeline not being long. The elements of suspense to the story work and you are definitely drawn into wanting everything to work out for this couple.
So far I’m 2 for 2 with Lynn Jaxon, and I can’t wait to read more from her!!

This book was everything I needed in my life and I didn’t even know it.
Meredith & Nash were a perfect couple. Meredith has so much on her plate, but Nash does everything he can to help unload the burden for her.
I loved all the twists and the turns, and those two were pretty explosive together. Gage was just about the cutest thing ever.
Lynn Jaxon really knows how to weave a story and fill it with everything a reader’s heart desires. If you loved Just As I Am, then this one will be sure to hit the spot for you.
5 beautiful stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this book.
One word ...... NASH.
Anyway where was I?
Although I do prefer a slow burn, this story was still a really good read. If you love happily ever afters, with some twists and turns then this one's for you.

This author blows me away with her writing. Meredith and Nash when their eyes connect it's like everything around them disappears. These two have a insta kind of love but with Meredith ex trying to destroy any happiness they may have, can the love they have be strong enough to withstand the trouble come. Oh and I can't forget Meredith cute and adorable son Gage. He is a trip.
July 7, 2019
This author is quickly becoming one of my favourites!! This is her second book and I devoured it! I was fully invested in Nash and Meredith from the get-go! Their connection was instant and I was swept away with them. But then she added Gage and my heart was a huge puddle on the floor! What a little cutie!
But there are those who are not happy with this budding relationship and they will do any thing to tear them apart! This had me on the edge of my seat as I knew something was going to happen but I just didn't know what or when!
I highly recommend you add this to your TBR!!

Meredith thought her life was going great, she had a husband and a son. Then everything changed when she surprised him. Her friends talk her into going out and having fun that’s how she meets Nash. There is an instant attraction and she impulsively gives him her number. Will he call? What will happen if they go out? Will her ex really let her go?
July 29, 2019
A great summer read!
I was looking for something fun and quick to read by the pool and this fit the bill perfectly! Meredith is an inspiring female character and Nash is swoonworthy. An exciting plot mixed in with the romance created a fast-paced story that I finished in one day.
I recommend this to anyone who likes contemporary romance. As for me, I can't wait for Jaxon's next book!

Took a shot at this book and I wasn't disappointed. This was a good read, quick, with highs and lows. Gabe is such a cutie!! Loved the banter with the girls and the infatuation Nash has with Meredith, too sweet.
My only criticism was for most of the beginning the dialogue felt and read so scripted and didn't flow. Also this was an insta-love where I typically like more slow burn, but not a bad thing.

More than just a name was a brilliant, insta-love story, full of intense chemistry, an unbelievably cute kid and plenty of drama.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I am not disappointed. I look forward to reading more books by Lynn Jaxon in the future.

A pretty quick read about a woman moving on from a loser ex.....but can she get rid of him for good?
I liked all of the characters especially Nash but after finding out who he was and what his job was, I was surprised at the chance he took when our couple met. The co-parenting drama took a turn I was expecting. Overall I did enjoy it and would recommend it.

This book was fast paced but the story flowed beautifully that you fell as fast as Meredith & Nash did.
If you love a love at first with ex who is not worth the air he breaths & a beautiful little boy who steals your heart then download this one you'll love it.

Wow! I absolutely loved this book. Oh Nash! He’s just so swooning and sexy. Meredith and Nash’s story is superb. I fell in love with these characters from the first page. This author has magic writing skills for insta love and the feelings Meredith and Nash have that pull you in love with them.

I loved this second chance romance! The main characters Nash and Meredith are so believable and their chemistry is off the charts.
Nash meets Meredith by accident. He is filling in for his brother at a male stripper bar (he is really an assistant principal at an elementary school) and she is out celebrating her divorce from her scrum bag of husband. They have an instant attraction.
Meredith's little son, Gage, is so adorable. I fell in love with his character.
I really enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend your reading it. It was really so good!
