BOOK REVIEW for "Hope Smolders (Hope, #0.5)" by Jaci Burton

****(4) out of 5 Stars!


SUMMARY:

Jane Kline is a struggling divorcee and single mother with a social life on hold. Not only does Jane not have the time to date anyone, she’s not even going to consider making herself vulnerable to another man after being deserted by her husband. That’s why Will Griffin, her ex’s former best friend, takes her totally by surprise.

What would such a hot and sexy wild card see in a harried mother juggling two kids and two jobs? For starters, everything Jane no longer sees in herself. As she dares to take the flirtation to the next step, Jane finds herself back where she never wanted to be—falling for another man. Now it’s up to Will to convince Jane that she has everything he wants in a woman, and that the second time around can be the best time of all.

REVIEW:

This is a prequel to the Hope series, although I didn't learn of it until I'd already read books 1 and 2.  It definitely sets the stage for the rest of the novels, and explains some minor things about various townspeople that aren't necessary to know, but interesting and helpful.  

I was quite enamored of this couple.  They were both good characters and nice people in their own right, but they made a darling couple, and created a beautiful family.  I was very pleased that Jane finally got our of her own way enough to see what a catch Will was.  

I'm definitely glad that I went back and read this story.
