Chicago Steel #6

Delayed By You

Rate this book
She’s always been his. He’s always been hers. Best friends since they were kids, everyone always assumed they’d end up together. But Rocco and Jasmine forge their own life paths. Despite remaining close, she discovers she needs a break from the life she’s been living in Chicago. When she moves to New York, things change for him. And he panics, thinking he’s lost her forever.

Rocco

Since the day she moved in across the street when we were kids, Jasmine has held my attention with her sparkling green eyes and spunky spirit. She’s independent and headstrong, and I’ve always admired that about her. Hiding behind my bachelor status, no one is the wiser about the secret feelings I harbor for her.

Jasmine

Rocco has always been by my side. Whether it’s making me laugh, teaching me something new, or sharing confidences, he’s been steadfast. When he morphs into a man seemingly overnight, I find it tough to temper my attraction to him. But he doesn’t see me as anything more than a friend.

Expected publication May 15, 2024

This book is fantastic! You will fall in love with Rocco and Jasmine just like I did. They are clearly meant to be together. However getting there is the hardest part. It’s also the sexiest part of the book. I definitely recommend this book.
Jessica Buss is in my opinion the best new author out there! Love her!

Delayed by You is a special read and from the moment I picked this book up I knew I was going to fall hard and fast for Rocco and Jasmine. If you love friends to lovers look no further than this one.
Rocco and Jasmine have been best friends since childhood and everyone thought they would end up together but as adults they find their own way in the world and it wasn’t with each other. He moves to New York and she stayed in Chicago until she needs a fresh start. Moving to New York has Jasmine moving in the same circles as Rocco and that means she could see the feelings he has hidden so well…..
So will this couple finally admit how they really feel, one click this gem to find out.
I loved everything about this book, I fell hard and fast for Rocco, I adored Jasmine but what took this book to another level was watching a couple who are soulmates open up to their true feelings. Delayed by You ticked all my boxes and I highly recommend it to all romance lovers.

This is Book #6 in the Chicago Steel series and it's Rocco and Jasmine's story. These two have been best friends since childhood and as adults began to feel more. Neither told the other for fear of it not being reciprocated and was afraid of losing the friendship that was so important to them. Rocco is on the Chicago Steel hockey team so he is permanently planted in Chicago, so Jasmine decides to move to New York to try to move on with her life. Rocco can not handle it.

Everyone else knew they belonged together except them! I loved these two; their friendship, deep love and understanding of each other, and when they finally get their heads on straight, the steamy, sexy times, and boy were they hot! The ending was so good and the Epilogue was perfect!
