Love Again

Jake Barrett is devastated when he loses his wife and toddler son in a terrible, fiery accident. What made it even more painful is that an unidentified man was found in the car with them. The police suggest that his wife was having an affair. Since that horrible day two years ago, Jake has questioned everything about himself and his marriage and found no answers. He returns home to his family’s Texas ranch to try to find healing there and maybe learn to trust again.

Twice, Honor McKee was engaged to be married, and twice, she was stood up just days before the wedding. Adding to her embarrassment is the fact that she is a marriage counselor, someone who gives advice to others about love and relationships. Ashamed and deeply hurt, she loses faith in herself and her ability to choose a man willing to commit.

Although they are both wounded and disappointed in love, Jake and Honor meet and manage to stumble their way toward friendship and, quite possibly, more. But their lives are turned upside down when trust in each other is needed the most, and neither has it to give.

Will they learn that there is more to life than living in past failures, that it really is possible to find love again?

My thoughts: Both Jake and Honor have some hefty baggage to work through in this story! Jake is still grieving the loss of his wife and son, while wondering if his life wasn't what it seemed to be. Honor has had the heartache of being left at the altar (ish) not just once, but twice. I can't imagine how hard it would be to be in either of their shoes! As they get to know one another, they find that they enjoy one another's company. But, can love truly conquer all?

I thought that this book was enjoyable. The characters were interesting and there were some unexpected twists to the story. This is an interesting clean read to pick up and enjoy.

I received this book from Celebrate Lit. This is my honest review and is in no way influenced by receiving a complimentary copy.

When I thought of writing “Love, Again”, I wanted to find out what would happen between two very-hurt people who stumbled into the beginnings of a friendship but didn’t have the trust it took for the relationship to go any further. What would help them see their flaws? What did they need to learn to become more than the past had let them be?

I loved getting to know Jake and Honor. Without giving anything away, I walked with them through their discoveries about themselves and each other. I hope you enjoy their journey!
