Jake is my favourite hero from the PW books.
He is SUCH a good person. Infinitely caring and thoughtful – a complete contrast to his tattooed, bad boy looks and reputation. This novel is set some years after the first book ends, and we get a slight retelling of Jake and Nina’s love story, but mainly from Jake’s POV. The story flits between the present and the past, and we come to a deeper understanding of Jake and his goodness. He’s pretty saintly, I must admit. Nina is pretty stoic through Jake’s devotion to his care of Ivy, but she doesn’t really comprehend how much until this book. Once she does, she feels humbled by what Jake has been through, and what he still goes through. I love the connection between Jake and Nina. Their love is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime love. It’s passionate, unwavering, and sometimes pretty desperate. They brought each other alive; they are the air that the other breathes. Absolutely adored this book and the author made a fantastic job of telling it from Jake’s POV, without completely repeating the story, and giving us so much more to boot.

Oh how sweet it is to be inside the mind of the beautiful and tortured soul that is Jake Green!! I devour everything that Penelope Ward writes like it’s my last meal, and Jake Undone just made me melt for this man that gives too much for his own good. So when I heard that we’d be getting more of these incredible characters, AND we’d be inside his head for the journey…well, let’s just say getting an ARC of this book made my month!!

3 stars!
***Contains Spoilers from Jake Undone!!*** A bit disappointed that 70% of the book was just a rehash of Undone except this time, we read it from Jake's POV. There are a few new scenes interspersed with the old ones which didn't really add anything new at all. I didn't think rehashing those scenes were necessary because Jake Undone was great even though most of it was in Nina's POV. I didn't need to read again from Jake's POV. What I really wanted to read about was how they handled the men..more

OMG - Amazeballs. I loved EVERYTHING about this book and it was heavenly being back with Jake again. Penelope Ward amazes me each and every time I read one of her books.
Jake Understood picks up AFTER the events of Jake Undone as Jake struggles because Nina has walked out on him. There are repetitious chapters, but Penelope delivered them in such a way that they were fresh, and of course, from Jake's POV as well as giving is a hefty dose of new content. My little heart skipped a beat of delight w..more
If the book isn't even published, why feel the need to rate it a 1, 2, 3 stars, let alone at all? For the simple fact I LOVED Jake Undone, and don't like that it has any less than 5 stars, I've added a 5-star review. To the haters, please, your grown adults. There's absolutely no need to review a book you have NOT read because you either don't want to wait til it's published, didn't like a completely different book, or are just simply acting like a child. Grow up and act your age! Thanks and hav..more

I was very privileged and feel very grateful to have received an ARC of Jake Understood and in return I am writing my honest review of this amazing book that was one of my most anticipated books of 2015.

5 'Let it Be' Stars! There are so many aspects of this touching, heartfelt read that I really connected with, that it's hard to distill it down for purposes of a review. Jake's and Nina's story is a truly magical one. A true friends to lovers story, that will genuinely break your heart and show you how to reconstruct it again. Try though they might, even the largest obstacles, can never come close to extinguishing true love. And Jake and Nina certainly had to learn to overcome more than their fa..more

“From the day you first walked into my life, you’ve been saving me.'
Penelope Ward has written a richly detailed, VERRA sexy and emotional story with lots of new material and details. This unputdownable story is told from Jake’s point of view, who is one of my absolute favorite book boyfriends so I devoured every word of this cleverly-written book. It takes a very gifted writer to create a story that includes the most significant facts from another book (JAKE UNDONE) but which also includes incre..more

First we are utterly undone by the woes and delights that are Jake Green. And now we get to get inside his head?! Can life get any sweeter?! Jake Understood is a complimentary companion to Jake Undone told from Jake’s perspective. It was a gooey-goodness of give and take, as we are regaled of his and Nina’s story, from start to end with some inserted scenes and tidbits that we have not witnessed before, as well as,..more

Jake Undone has long been a favourite book of mine and I'm always a little wary of companion books because sometimes they can ruin the characters by putting a new spin on them ( Walking Disaster by Jamie Maguire completely changed my view of Abby Abernathy, for example) so it was with a lot of trepidation but much more excitement that I read Jake Understood.....Well, . I'm delighted to say that Ms Ward knocked it out of the ball park with this beautiful book, la..more

I started reading this before 'Jake Undone'. I then got 'Jake Undone' to fill in the blanks that were skimmed over in this one. (It's not really a standalone..). Dec 15, 2014Shannon rated it
First of all Jake telling all his and Nina's friends the story of how they ended up together was just weird. I could not get into it because it just felt too weird and fake and not at ALL like something that would happen. I felt like I was reading about a slumber party. With kids.

Oh.My.God..you guys! If you thought you loved Jake before you ain't seen nothing yet!!! I was so lucky to win an arc of this book from Penelope, I can't thank her enough!
It can be tough going with books rewritten in an alternate point of view, there's always the chance it will be just a rehashing of the same story. But that was not the case with Jake Understood, it was so much more. I love how Penelope Ward set this one up, as if we're there, part of the family, hearing Jake and Nina's story fo..more

Normally I get a little frustrated with companion or different POV novels, but I honestly liked this one better than the original in the series. I can’t explain it but I just did. While I still highly recommend that you pick up Jake Undone, because it is a big piece of the puzzle in helping you understand the overall and big picture of the character, this one really helps you see exactly what was going through his mind. This story is even more enthralling and heart breaking for me and I just fel..more
Penelope Ward you blew me away! There really are no amount of words that you can use to adequately describe this book. Reading this book was bittersweet knowing that this book was the last of the series. I was both sad for it to end because I knew that there would be no more books from this series yet eager for it to end to see how their lives turned out. Penelope did not disappoint. Jake Undone was my first book that I read by Penelope where I met and fell in love with Jake and Nina's love stor..more

This was amazing. This book was mostly Jake's POV and some of the events were also in the first book. But that wasn't bothering me at all because from Jake's POV it was different and it was so beautiful to know how he was fighting for Nina and their life. How he was protecting her, don't wanted to hurt her, but also want her so badly. Nov 14, 2014Jenny Jo Weir rated it it was ok

Good book, not great. I thought it would be better than it was. A little too mushy for me, especially being from the guys perspective. Took me longer to read than most books because I kept putting it down which I hardly ever do but I don't regret reading it. It simply wasn't a favorite as I thought it might be.

This book follows on from Jake UndoneJake Undone, and is part-sequel, part-alternate POV book. It is set 8 years into the future where Jake and Nina are together and living the life they wanted together, but a bad night leads to Nina taking off for the day to get some space, leaving Jake at home. And when friends arrive (Alison & Cedric, Skylar & Mitch), he begins to reminisce about their beginning and how it all started for them. There is a combination of seeing the sa..more

I'm completely in love with series. Honestly it's made me laugh, cry, angry and want to smack a bitch a guy lol. Jake is total package this man is God sent. And Nina is definitely an angel to deal with everything life has thrown at her. She also God sent. Together they one. I love them both. This series needs more than 5 stars, it's that good.
this could have been a novella 70% was the exact same story and as we got dual POVs in the first book it was boring. After reading this book I believe poor Jake has a bat-shit crazy girl magnet embeded in him
I didn't realize that it was overall Jakes POV of the relationship.
Really well written and cleaver. Enjoyed!

I’m having a tough time writing this review right now. I’m teary, I’m happy. My heart hurts from feeling the love that is just flowing off the pages between Jake and Nina. Penelope has given us Jake’s point of view of his life and his love for Nina from when he first met her through “today.”
Reading Jake’s POV on the pivotal scenes from Jake Undone was my undoing. I loved reading Jake’s take on his mindset from what both he and Nina experienced in their relationship. Told as flashbacks, Jake’s lo..more

We met Jake Green and Nina Kennedy in Jake Undone, released last year by Penelope Ward. Jake and Nina had an instant connection but he couldn't or shouldn't act on his attraction to Nina because of his current complicated situation. We previously got Nina's side of the story in Undone, but in Jake Understood, we get into his thoughts and the other end of the story.
