Saving Jake by Sharon Sala

5.0

I've read several books in this series and have really come to love the little town of Blessings. The residents are mostly friendly (have to have some "bad" characters), go out of their way to help each other, and even fall in love with each other.

This book throws together Jake Lorde, former military suffering from PTSD, and Laurel Payne, widow & mother that has had a hard time herself the past few years. While they may not seem like a likely couple, there is something that attracts the other to them. And while their relationship seems to blossom overnight, it isn't easy and they each had some things to overcome.

I liked Jake's protective side because that really helps both of them out. And Laurel, while ostracized from her in-laws after his death, manages to overcome and survive without their support. I felt like all of the characters were down to earth and the book has some sad situations but a happy ending.

Can't wait to see what is next for the town of Blessings. I have an idea, but we'll see if that is the next story or a future one.
