The Start of Something Good!

Synopsis:

An enriching story of family ties, broken hearts, and second chances from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.

When Ethan Bishop returns to the Hudson Valley, his body and spirit are a little worse for wear. As a former Special Forces paratrooper, he saw his fair share of conflict, and he came home with wounds, inside and out. At his sisters’ B & B and farm, he can keep all his pain at a safe distance. But quiet time isn’t easy when a fiery woman explodes into his life…

It’s business—not pleasure—that brings Manhattan PR agent Mia Thrush reluctantly to the farm. Tightly wound and quick tempered, Mia clashes immediately with the brooding Ethan. Everything about him is irritating—from his lean muscles and piercing blue eyes to his scent of sweat and musk.

But as the summer unfolds and temperatures rise, Ethan and Mia discover how much they have in common: their guarded histories, an uncontrollable desire, and a passion for the future that could heal two broken hearts. But will their pasts threaten their fragile chance at a brand-new future?

Review:

WOW!! Jennifer Probst has written a great small-town romance read!

Ethan and Mia are fabulous characters. They were so different from one another, yet so similar at the same time. I absolutely loved how Ethan was always encouraging Mia to be herself and not try to be like anyone else. Ethan wanted Mia to be happy, not matter what that meant. He was willing to sacrifice his own happiness so that Mia got everything that she wanted.

Mia was a character who is so relatable. She thinks she must act, eat and dress in a certain way. As I was reading about her, I was constantly thinking about myself. She reminds me of myself in so many ways.

I loved every single second of this novel, and I can't wait to see where Jennifer takes this series next.

5/5 Stars!
