  My Review Gimmie all the emotions. Jasmine and Harrison both experienced a range of emotions. It was not just Jasmine that got something out of the program. Harrison found his person. Yet, Harrison gave a lot back to Jasmine. To quote Jasmine; Harrison "healed her". Jasmine learned that with the right partner, it can be an enjoyable time for both. It is not just a take relationship but a give and take. I appreciated that Harrison showed just how in tune he was with Jasmine, even if she did not voice it out loud. With their sessions, he took care to not push too much.  I loved reading about Jasmine and Harrison's story. This book is a favorite in this series of mine.
