John close knit family, they will find that love heals all and a new life can be found in that love.
Wonderful book. It gives you everything you love about romance, passion and family, and just pulls at the heart strings from the first page to the last.
This book is part of a series but can stand on its own, The series is aboutbrothers and this is the second brother Drake's story, If you read Dr. Daddy's Perfect Christmas, book one in the series you met Drake, Drake lost his first wife who was pregnant in a horrible car accident and has struggled to find his way past the heartache and anguish since.
He meets Marly Haskins in the burn unit at the local hospital where she is a nurse, Drake is the fire chief in town and is there to visit a little boy he rescued from a burning house.
Right from the start the two feel an attraction to each other but Marly is in no position to trust a man.
Marly escaped an abusive husband that controlled her every move, Now she's trying to get some kind of life for her and her young daughter when along comes Drake who stirs her but until he starts to show her that not all men are like her exhusband that she can slowly start to trust.
What i liked about this book is the both Drake and Marly have serious issues with trust for very different reasons but neither one gave up on life and trying again.
They are both good people with strong character who are very generous with their time to give to people in need.
If you love a feel good contemporary romance this is a excellent book and an enjoyable book that you can easily read in a evening.
Not one thing not to love in this story, THE HOMETOWN HERO'S MISSION
For days, burn unit nurse Marly Haskins has noticed a handsome firefighter sitting vigil at patients' bedsides.
Chief Drake St. John's concern touches the single mother deeply, But despite the warmth in Drake's cobaltblue eyes, tall, strong, powerful men only remind Marly of the abusive exhusband on her trailand the dreams she's long since given up on.
With his own harrowing past, Drake recognizes that Marly is running scared, His life and career are about saving others from harm, but there's something about Marly that makes his protective instincts morepersonal.
Helping Marly and her daughter feel safe in Stonerock is his new missionone that might heal his own burned heart.
I love Jules Bennett's writing and stories, I am never disappointed by her books!!! This story is such a feel good, heartwarming story that it made my heart melt.
Marly is a young woman that is trying to start over in a small town where things will be better for her and her daughter, Willow.
Marly really has no intentions of falling in love anytime soon, but cupid struck her and there was no turning back!!
Drake is a good old boy and is always thinking about others before himself.
Drake is at the local hospital checking up on one of his young victims when he meets Marly, a nurse taking care of his patient.
There are not many words exchanged by the two of them but there is a connection there that Drake can not deny.
Drake pursues Marly and quickly learns that she has ghosts from her past that are haunting her and effecting her future relationships.
Drake is the most caring person that can help Marly move beyond her ghosts from her past,
Drake immediately falls in love with Willow and creates a relationship there that should have been created by Willow's biological father.
Willow adores Drake and takes to him easily, Willow is so young that Marly has sort of kept things from her about her father hoping that she can make a new and better life for them before Willow has a chance to understand what all is going on.
This story has a HEA and I am so glad, Drake and Marly fit together like two pieces of a puzzle that were long lost from each other, They complete each other and help each other cope with their pasts and look forward to a brighter future together.
Thanks Jules for another great book!! I can't wait for the next one from you!! Bennett, I love this new series The St, John's of Stonerock. There is just something special and touching the way that Jules Bennett writes a book, I don't care if it's from her books with Princes to her books with single parents, She finds a way to pull you into the story and makes it seem more realistic,
I couldn't wait to read Drake's story, Ever since reading his brother's book and meeting Drake in it, I knew that I would enjoy Drake's book, I also knew that Drake's story would make me cry, And even though he's been through a tragidy it's made him a stronger person, And I love the relationship that Drake has with his brothers,
I loved Marly's character, She's strong, independent, has a little bit of sass and is trying to make a better life for herself and her daughter.
Though there were a few times I wanted to jump in and shake her,
Well since I already gave my rating of this book at the beginning of this review, I will say that would definitely recommend this book, It made me cry and it made me cry, It was a sweet little love story, And now I really can't wait to read Cam's book,
I received an ARC of this book from the author for my honest review A wonderful novel of many facets.
Domestic abuse, death, strength, living, moving forward, family values, small town strength, and most of all love some of the many issues addressed in this heartwarming and wonderful novel.
Jules Bennett does an excellent job of writing a romance novel that also addresses many personal and important issues that play a strong part in the personal development of each of the main characters, as they move forward in their life and toward each other.
And of course the wonderful young Willow does her own part, without ever knowing she has, A novel you most definitely don't want to miss, This story is very close to my heart, My father and grandfather were career firefighters and also my heroes, I first have to say that Jules Bennett captured an authentic glimpse of what it's like to be a firefighter.
Unfortunately, politics are very much a part of a fire chief's life, budget issues, over time, etc, I remember my dad coming to my school, just like Drake did with little Willow, and my firefighter friends teaching my children about the dangers of fire and how a firefighter can look scary in his/her gear.
My Dad talked some about the fires he worked over the years and he always said the ones with the kids you never forget.
This story brought a tear to my eye more than once with the little boy burned in a fire.
So, kudos, Jules, for really knowing your subject, That aside, it is a beautiful romance between the fire chief, Drake St, John, and a pediatric nurse, Marly Haskins, Marly is the mother of a feisty, sweet kindergartener who brought more than an occasional grin to my face.
Sounds like an easy romance, right Not so, Marly brings to her new home baggage from a previous marriage, She's a victim of domestic abuse, both physical and mental, But, she's not just a victim, She's a fighter too. She takes her daughter to start a new life and leaves her ex with pictures that could expose him as the monster he
is, ending his political career.
Marly's drawn to the handsome firefighter, but she knows her ex will find her and ruin him if she gets too close.
Marly is the first woman Drake is attracted to since the death of his fiancée, And he carries his own issues with blame, Drake refuses to give up on Marly and she slowly lets him in to the world she endured, He becomes not only the firefighter hero, but her knight in shining armor, I highly recommend this story, You'll turn the last page with a smile,
