SCORE: 5 out of 5 Hearts- Reviewer Top Pick
Sara Jamison has done a pretty good job convincing herself she’s completely over Mike Andrews. Years ago, he ripped out her heart by accusing her of cheating, which totally devastated Sara. Without even listening to what she had to say, Mike disappeared from her life. Not only did his desertion cut her to the core, but Sara also discovered she was pregnant with their son.
Over time, she builds her whole life around her son, her brothers and uncle, and her thriving bakery. Now, eight years later, Mike is back in town and Sara convinces herself she wants nothing to do with him. But how will she explain why her son looks just like Mike if he happens to get a glimpse of him while in town?
Why does Mike show up again in Green Bay after all these years? What does he have to say for himself once he comes face-to-face with Sara again? Could there be a slim chance that Mike still has feelings for her? Does he ever find out about his son?
I have to say Ms. Rogers outdid herself yet again. From the first page, I was pulled into the story and I remained hooked right until the last sentence. I absolutely fell in love with Sara because she’s a survivor, turning a bad situation around and creating a happy home for herself and for her young son. On the flip side, Mike definitely pulled at my heart strings. I hated the fact he left Sara high and dry, but as you read along you realize every puzzle piece falls into place. As I understand it, this is the first book in the Jamison trilogy and I have no doubt Ms. Rogers will knock our socks off with book two. This author has a way of telling a story and pulling you in as if you’re a character in the book seeing everything firsthand. I highly recommend this book and promise you won’t be disappointed! But don’t take my word for it. Pick it up and see for yourself.
