Love is real

This is the 3rd book in the Cedar Ridge series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment and full understanding, please read in order.

Jacob returns like the prodigal son, only to find there is someone right outside his door who would rather be left alone herself.  Sophie has wounds that go deep and keep her from opening up, much like he does.  They truly are a set match.

Sophie and Jacob both have secrets and pain that they hide from the world.  Right from the start, they have trouble hiding their feelings for each other.  Can someone who relies only on themselves ever learn to lean on another person?  They both need to meet halfway to make this relationship real.

Truly another fabulous book by the amazing author!  The characters are complex.  The sexy heat is a strong slow burn right from the beginning.  The other characters we love from this series are here for comic relief.  It is a well written story with heat and love.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
