I’m glad this story felt more like the first book in this series. I liked the second book, but it didn’t hold a candle to the first. This book is almost its match. If you haven’t read the previous books, this book will stand alone well and you’ll still get just as much enjoyment. Jake, aka JT, was a bit of a mystery in the previous book. He lives across the country, and it’s hard for his family to get him home for visits. But Jake is a great guy. He develops prostheses for people and does everything he can to help offset costs for those who don’t have the funds for what they need. Now, I was worried going in since I worked in prosthetic billing for many years and know the cost and red tape involved with any prosthetic. I felt the author did a good job of making it clear this isn’t something you can just go to any doctor or provider for and get what you need without boring the reader with details. There were maybe a bit too few details, but that’s not what the story is about so I let it go. Paige and Jake are sweet, the way they are both so unsure of how to have a real relationship, and both denying that it’s what they want. Although Jake doesn’t live near his family, he definitely got the McKinney genes when it comes to how to treat people, especially a romantic interest. I couldn’t get enough of him and his interactions with Paige’s daughter, Casey. Casey is precocious, to say the least. Jake never saw himself having a family, but he can’t help but fall in love with Casey right along with falling in love with Paige. This story was a beautiful journey for all involved. There is joy and hope that go along with the trepidation of opening their hearts.
