"If Fools rush in, then most people in love are idiots. And I'm the biggest one of all."
-Jazz
Meet Jasmine Coleman. She's the girl that's outgoing, beautiful, and full of self-assurance- a confidence that’s forced to cover the scars she hides. When rushing into love becomes a heartbreaking mistake the last piece of it disappears. Now she is left uncertain, weak, and full of self-loathing. But her strength is needed now more than before.
Mason Reed is the quiet computer geek that's always the friend and never the boyfriend. Putting his social life on hold to help his single mother has left him shy when it comes to the opposite sex. And Meeting Jazz is no different. However being in love makes you do crazy things and his crazy has major consequences. Especially when the truth is revealed to others who are determined to rip them apart.

Rash Decisions have major consequences. Some good. Some bad. All Life Changing.
"The Truth doesn't always set you free. Sometimes it breaks you apart and leaves you in pieces."



Learning to Heal is about friends Jasmine Coleman and Mason Reed. Jasmine Coleman is beautiful, caring, and has a personality everyone falls in love with. When Jasmine makes a decision for the sake of love she believes she has it all. She knows her decisions could negatively impact her life but she is willing to do what she has to for the sake of love. What will happen when she finds out that the man she loves has lied to her? Will she ever be able to accept the help her friend Mason gives her? Will she ever be able to see Mason for more than just the friend he has always been?
Mason is handsome but not overly so. He is so smart and special but he always sells himself short. He does everything he can for his mom and little sister. He is a kind and caring guy and always has been. When he steps up to help Jazz with her situation without a second thought she is shocked. Will he be willing to go to bat for her when times get tough? Will he be able to keep things together when the unthinkable happens?
I really loved this book. This shows how friends can go from being just than friends, to something so much more. Jazz is a great girl. She doesn’t always make the smartest of decisions when it comes to a certain professor but she is young and learns from her mistakes. Mason, well he is a really great guy and I felt from him throughout most of this book. There was one point when I wanted to smack him silly but for the most part he was the hero everyone wants to read about. As we know, life changes and we see that in this book.
I look forward to reading Learning to Forgive coming soon in 2014. Blaire and Lyric are going to take us by storm.
