romance book reviews
Jax and Kristen are a proper grown up couple and they each come with their own set of issues so they really end up saving each other, which is a refreshing twist. She’s a single mother who lost her husband and he’s an injured Marine who lost his best friend.
They’re both in Red Maple Falls because of family and they’re both struggling but Kristen has to move forward because of her adorable little boys, Noah and Travis. Jax is dealing with the aftermath of leaving his siblings behind while he battled his demons in a war zone. They should run from each other but one chance meeting in a therapist’s waiting room puts them on a path that’s unavoidable.
I loved the way their anxiety and flashbacks were presented so realistically. That pain and trauma comes out of nowhere and you just have to deal with it and hope that the person you’re with is willing to deal with it. Jax was and so was Kristen so the joy was just in watching them open up again, battle their demons to grab something lighter, something akin to happiness.
This romance was heartbreaking at times but it was a joy to watch them find their way out of the darkness and into the arms of new love.
