Saving Jake by Sharon Sala
5.0
This is the third book in the series but only the second one I've read but so far I'm in love with what I've read. I know that it won't be a lot of readers cup of tea because it is closed-door sex and small town setting but I think it's totally worth reading regardless.
This time around we meet Jake and Laurel. Jake is a recently discharged soldier battling an injury and PTSD, who is pretty closed off to the world. He moves in next door to Laurel, a widowed mother that was shunned by her in-laws and pitied by strangers. The two of them are thrust into an unlikely friendship through Laurel's daughter, who finds comfort and familiarity in Jake, that slowly burns into something more.
This story was mostly sweet, but touched on tough subject matters including survivors guilt, suicide, and PTSD which gave the story depth and stirred up all of the best emotions. If you like sweet, small-town romances with just a touch of angst then I think you'll enjoy this one as much as I did.
