Nobody But You

by Jill Shalvis

☆☆☆☆☆

Audible Version

 

Jacob Kincaid has found his way back home. It has taken a long

 time. But sometimes, these things do. He did the right thing with

his mom. Keeping up with her. But he did not with the rest of

his family. And they are not one bit happy about that.

 

Sophie is free. And boy did her freedom have a high cost.

But of course, stubbornness added to that cost. Sophie has

decided to stick with it anyway. No matter what the cost.

Both Sophie and Jacob are in highly stressful times.

Their lives are in need of some direction.

There is a saying....

Every person comes into your life for a reason.

Either for you to learn something from them.

Or for them to learn something from you.

That is ever so true for both Jacob and Sophie.

They both manage to help the other to figure it all out.

So in the end, Sophie is happier. So is Jacob.

Now what? Do they go on their separate ways now?

After all, Jacob has to finish his time with the military.

Sophie is just beginning to find some peace.

Would it be possible for them to make a life together?

Jill Shalvis is one of the queens of fun romantic writing.
It is a true love story. I saw a review in which someone

recommended speeding up the listening time to 1.25.

That might have been just what was needed to make

the listening just right. But all in all, it was a good listen.

 

I got this copy from my library.

Before I Fall by Jessica Scott

Before I Fall

by Jessica Scott

Book One of the

Falling Series

This is the beginning of a new series for Jessica Scott.

It was yet another captivating story from her.

Her writing always keeps me interested.

The characters are so real.

Noah has come home to stay. He has done his duty in the

military. And he has the scars to prove it. The scars that

cover his body. The scars that distort his thoughts. He has

fallen onto the same path many do. Pain relief in a bottle.

Beth has been taking care of her father since she was a

teenager. Her mother could not handle it. She left. Somehow,

Beth has managed all these years. Her father served in the

military. Now, he struggles with physical and emotional pain.

He has been medicating himself any way he can all this time.

Alcohol and drugs. Just trying to make it from day to day.

He has been so thankful for his hard working, brave daughter.

If there is one thing Beth knows, she hates the military. They have

not taken care of her father as they should. Now, he is addicted to

the pain meds. Beth will never be with someone from the military.

Noah is trying to get through college. Get his degree. While most

classes are hard, one of them is impossible. Stats. But with the

help of a tutor, he stands a chance.

Beth is trying for her degree as well. Working. Taking care of her

father. Stretching every dollar til it squeaks. She needs the money

from tutoring. And Noah needs a tutor.
But Noah is a military man. And that is something

she cannot tolerate.
And that's where the story really begins.

Jessica's writing is sincere and true. You can feel the emotions

from the words. The characters are alive and real. I am always

impressed with her works.
Be prepared for drama. I felt angry at the truths in the story.
But they are truths from real life for many people today.

Beth and Noah have learned to be hard. To protect and cover

their hearts. They know how to fight for what they need. 

The biggest struggle may be to learn trust. 

I look forward to the rest of the series.

All I Want For Christmas Is You - Review

All I Want For Christmas Is You - a novella
by Jessica Scott

"He'd never leave her alone again. He brushed his lips

against hers. "You went to war. You lost people you

care about." A gentle nudge. "You're not broken.

You're just different. We're all different

when we come home."

This is what I love about Jessica Scott reading.

This quote sums up the style of her writing.

 Her romantic stories are love stories.

With real life and hard times. The characters

are real. The story is real. How do you survive

war, come home and just continue on? As if you

only came home from vacation?

Its not possible.

Patrick and Sam are both military and both have

gone for long deployments. They are sharing a

daughter. Trying to keep their relationship together.

Theirs is a story of challenge and struggle.

Put that together with snowy roads,

a precocious 8 year old, family & friends,

going commando in freezing weather

and Christmas. The season of love and miracles.

You wind up with a story that starts out

heart wrenching and then comes about

heart warming. A wonderful, thoughtful, 

short read. With everything you are

looking for in romance story telling.

Review by Lisa Hutson   

All Major Patrick MacLean wanted was Christmas with the woman and child who were his family in everything but name. But Captain Samantha Egan has come back from the war a different woman than the one who left - and she doesn't know if she can love him anymore.

But neither of them counted on the determination of a little girl they both call daughter and if Natalie has her wish, her parents may have no idea what's coming for them. It's going to take Christmas miracle to bring these two wounded warriors back from the edge of a broken heart.
