Trying to get over a broken heart, twenty-four year old teacher Jet
Diekerhof takes a gap year to travel and have an adventure. Her
practical farming family is horrified until Jet's older sister Harley
gets her a long term sub position at a one room school house in
Montana's Paradise Valley. Jet's grateful it's 775 miles from her overly
involved family-and the guy who broke her heart. She's also sworn off
men until meeting darkly handsome Shane Swan changes everything...
Thirty-four
year old Shane Swan has been an outsider since birth. Raised by his
maternal grandmother near Flathead Lake, Montana, until her death when
he was four, meant he ended up in foster care. But ever smart,
determined, and ambitious, Shane has become one of the most successful
writers in America. Yet none of his success has answered the burning
question: why was he the one given away, and his brothers kept? Now
Shane has moved to Marietta to unravel the secrets and lies and what it
means to be a Sheenan, and nobody is closer to the Sheenans than Brock's
young sister-in-law, Jet.
Normally Shane would never use a
woman, but if Jet can connect him with the keys to his past, he doesn't
seem to have choice. Until he begins to fall for her. Can two strangers,
who were never meant to be, believe in love again?
4 STARS
It was a good story with intriguing main characters and a lot of well drawn local history. It also had quite a few people in the story both past and present. And a couple of times I got lost in who was who and how they connected because there was that intertwining of families.
The emotions in the story especially for Shane was spot on but so was Jet's. I have to admit I liked her name and the explanation for it. I found it a bit hard to navigate the reason for all of Shane's names though even though it was explained. It was easy to understand him writing using an author name though. And I liked the interchanges between the two and how tender but direct Shane was with Jet.
I liked how it all came together in the end. I wasn't sure how that was going to happen.
I read this story through the HOOPLA Library App
