My Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is either a new voice in romance or a new pen name, and I’m so glad I took a chance on this book and found her! The story captured my attention from the very beginning, and I proceeded to fall in love with these characters and their poignant, heartfelt story. Jenifer and Matt owned me!
Jenifer Nichols is a single mom and elementary school teacher. When her young son goes to retrieve his baseball while playing catch with Jenifer, he upsets a bees nest and gets stung. His fleeing from the bees takes him into the street where firefighter neighbor, Matt Barnes, saves him from being hit by a car.
Jenifer and Matt's story has the perfect amount of uncontrived angst and a delicious roller coaster of emotions. Both characters are perfectly flawed and eternally endearing, and it was such a treat to watch them learn and heal as they headed towards their forever.
The writing is seasoned and flawless, and I was fully immersed, devouring every word, and I read through the book in no time at all. With fairly tame language and fade-to-black intimate scenes, lovers of sweet, wholesome romance will enjoy Matt and Jenifer's story.
At its heart, this is a story of healing, trust, and new beginnings, while reminding us that family isn’t always comprised of only the people who share your DNA and live in the same house.
It's touching, heartwarming, inspiring, and phenomenally amazing, and I can’t wait to see what's next from this talented lady. I really can’t recommend this book enough, and if you’re like me and love to find new talent, you won’t want to pass this one up!
