JORDAN'S RETURN is a reprint of the first book written by
Samantha Chase and I can see why she is a best-selling author.
This is a story about how two people get a second chance to
make things right. It's filled with emotion, insecurity,
stubbornness, and a mother's undying love. I found Ms.
Chase's view of how this single mother deals and dealt with
the circumstances of her life to be spot on. Not only has
this mother suffered but her two young sons suffered along
with her and have emotional scars. She naively trusted her
psychotic ex-husband and she almost lost her life. The two
young boys in the story are adorable. The emotional pain they
go through because of neglect from their father is so real.
We know that kids are resilient but it's still painful when
you watch them suffer. Jordan Manning is slowly recovering from a near fatal accident
and an abusive relationship. Her two sons also suffered
through this abuse. Jordan decides she and her boys need some
time away together to find a new direction for their family.
On their summer destination she runs into the first man she
fell in love with who also broke her heart when they were
teenagers. It's been fourteen years since Rob Tyler has seen Jordan. He
thought he had moved on after losing Jordan because of an
immature mistake he made all those years before. But seeing
Jordan he realizes he never got over her. But convincing
Jordan that they belong together is harder than he expected.
He is drawn to her two boys and they are drawn to him. It's
understandable that Jordan is afraid to take a chance. The
verbal and mental abuse she went through with her ex has made
her insecure and unsure of herself. So of course she finds it
hard to trust herself to make good decisions. Rob knows what
he wants and has basically been waiting all this time for a
second chance. But he also needs to look at things from
Jordan's viewpoint -- consider what she has been through. JORDAN'S RETURN is a great story about forgiveness, healing,
trust and
taking a chance on love again.
