Hope Ignites by Jaci Burton
4.0
Desiree Jenkins is a famous actress shooting her latest film on location at Logan McCormack's ranch in Hope, Oklahoma. They come from different worlds but she's wildly attracted to this loner. Her honesty and directness hooks him but Logan keeps holding back, emotionally crippled by his parents' failed relationship.
Desiree is a pretty wonderful character who's smart, talented and unafraid to speak her mind when it matters. Logan has forged a lonely, solitary existence that's disrupted when Desiree forces her way in. It changes him but also makes him fearful he'll end up in the same misery as his parents. Oh, and their self-proclaimed "casual" relationship was scorching on so many levels.
I enjoyed this story, especially Desiree (as if you couldn't tell), in spite of really disliking Logan for about half the book. No matter because his behavior was true to his character and circumstances, which is important. There's also a secondary storyline involving her co-star that was interesting and relevant. It could have been explored in more depth but I appreciated its inclusion.
There's something about this series that I find satisfying. Maybe it's the dynamics of small town community and characters of substance. Whatever it may be, the stories are appealing and I'm hooked. This one worked for me.
