Romance
Jessy Lawrence has been living a sad life since the death
of her husband two years ago. Only her dinners with the
other military widows have kept her sane.
Jessy's entire life has consisted of rebelling against
everything that she considered a constraint, her family
and any other barrier life threw her way.
After two years of drowning herself in a bottle and one
night stands with strangers, Jessy is determined to make
some changes in her life. When she is fired from the job
she hated at the bank, she finds a job at an animal
rescue operation just outside Tallgrass.
Dalton Smith has his own burdens to deal with. He,
alone, knows that his beloved wife chose death over
living with the disabilities her injuries would have left
her with. Dalton maintains his solitude by minimizing
who he interacts with. Lately, he finds himself unable
to stop thinking about his one night with Jessy.
Jessy and Dalton keep running into each other. Finding
common ground makes it easier to deal with the emotion
that swirls each time they look back to that one
unforgettable night they shared.
Marilyn Pappano continues her Tallgrass series with
one
of the most emotional stories as she brings together two
characters that seem to have the biggest differences in
philosophy.
Ms. Pappano has a knack for combining humor and pathos in
her stories that leaves the reader always wanting more.
I look forward to her books. No matter if they are part
of a series or stand alone. A reader always knows that
they will get high quality writing, a story that impacts
them emotionally and a supremely satisfying ending.
No one could ask for more.
SUMMARY
t's been two years since Jessy Lawrence lost her husband
in
Afghanistan, and she's never fully recovered. Drowning her
sorrows didn't help, and neither did the job she'd hoped
would give her a sense of purpose. Now trying to rebuild
her
life, she finds solace in her best friends, fellow
military
wives who understand what it's like to love-and lose-a man
in uniform . . . and the memory of one stolen night that
makes her dream of a second chance at love. Dalton Smith has known more than his fair share of grief.
Since his wife's death, he revels in the solitude of his
cattle ranch. But try as he might, he can't stop thinking
about the stunning redhead and the reckless, passionate
night they shared. He wasn't ready before, but Dalton sees
now that Jessy is the only woman who can mend his broken
heart. So how will he convince her to take a chance on
him?
