A guilt-drive
firefighter, a widowed mother, neither is ready for love, but love has other
plans.
Firefighter
Lucas Bennett had the carefree life he’d always wanted until a deadly blaze
took the life of his company mate and best friend. Blaming himself was easy but
pulling himself from the tailspin of guilt proved to be much harder. The fog of
sadness and guilt pushed him down a dangerous path until he nearly died
fighting the beast. Forced to stop and reevaluate his life, he decided to make
a change before it was too late.
A fire took
almost everything from Sarah Robinson—her husband and her home—leaving her to
raise their precious daughter alone. Everywhere she looked held memories of her
husband, pouring salt on her ever-present wound. Unable to live any longer
around the memories of her husband, she and her daughter moved to Oak Grove,
far away from the grief of the past. All Sarah needed was the chance to start a
new life for her and her daughter.
A car accident
on a dark, rainy night put Lucas and Sarah on a collision course neither of
them expected… with questions they’re not ready to answer. Can a single mother
open her broken heart for a second chance at love? Will a broken firefighter
risk his heart for what might be his only chance at forever? Are each of them
willing to take one last risk to be together? His risk. Her reward. Together,
they’ll mend each other's broken hearts.
If you like
small-town romance where the heroes are sexy and the women are strong, unlock
One Last Risk to start your visit to Oak Grove, Pennsylvania and fall in love
with Lucas and Sarah!
My Thoughts…
Two people who
have both lost almost everything in a fire have a chance meeting at the local
bakery. The attraction was immediate,
the sparks were obvious, yet they were both cautious. Neither were looking for a relationship and
both had demons to fight.
I really liked
that they didn’t just fall into bed.
They worked up to it, they dated, they got to know each other, and they
included Sarah’s daughter into their relationship. It was interesting to see them circle each
other, sneak around a little, and figure out how to make a relationship with a
child involved work.
The little town
of Oak Grove was amazing. The
cobblestone walks, the cottages, the one truck fire stations are all parts of a
small town. Nancy Stopper did a
wonderful job of portraying this cute town.
Oak Grove is a place where everyone knows everyone and there are no
secrets. I could picture living here
with Lucas and Sarah.
Thank you Nancy Stopper for a
copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.
