My Review

This was a short sweet and very cute read. I have read others by this author that I just loved and thought they were outstanding. For me this was missing the excitement that I have come to love with this author. I did think it was a good read and totally enjoyed it. The story does have a wonderful plot and for a short read it’s very good. I would have loved to have read all about her meeting her father from the start not just as a small short memory. This story has a lot of pain from Jason who has never felt love not even from his parents along with Laken looking for a father that her mother never talked about.

Jason is just down on life he does too much drinking and has way too many women. I think he uses this as an escape to deal with the pain of not feeling he was good enough and the loss of his sister. He is a very likable man who has many women that throw themselves at him. He just isn’t sure he is happy playing ball anymore it just isn’t giving him what he needs. One wise women who he loves dearly points him in the right direction in hopes of bring him around to have what he truly wants out of life. Thus sending him to Hope Falls to work with young boys.

Laken is a very sweet and caring lady who just wants to find her father. She has one clue and is on the hunt. Not wanting to hurt anyone she is very careful. She meets Jason which doesn’t go so well. Once they start talking they find they might have something in common. Jason being a player just might not be what she is looking for.

Helping each other might just be what the doctor ordered but it might not be enough for a HEA. This was a very well written story just missing a few things I would have like to have read. I hope you will give it a try I think you will enjoy it.

Book Description

Jason Denali hadn't planned the trip to Hope Falls. It was thrust on him, but he couldn't argue that the change was needed. He'd turned into someone even he couldn't like anymore. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to fix it. He was truly lost, and it wasn't the first time he'd felt that way. He'd been lost since he was ten-years-old. Since the day his sister died.

Laken Sky didn't need the distraction of the bad boy baseball player staying in the next room over at her B and B. She'd come to Hope Falls to search for her past, to find a link to family she desperately needed in her life.

Somehow, though, that bad boy next door finds his way into her heart, and she's not sure what she'll do when she has to give him up.
