Something Borrowed

I hadn't read any of the books in this series, but Jackson and Truth have such a unique relationship that this story drew me in and made me want to read more and more. When I started this book I had no clue that it was going to take the direction that it did, there were times that it really pulled at the heart strings, but Ms Hart makes sure that we have our happy ending so it works out well. I really enjoyed Something Borrowed and I hope to read more from this author in the future.

This is the third book in the series. I had a hard time with how Jackson and Truth first met. That whole premise didn't sit well with me. I also had real hard time with Jackson. I wasn't a big fan of his attitude and the way he carried himself. I understood what drove him to that point, but it rubbed me the wrong way. There were some real sad moments that had the waterworks going. I love this series, but this book just wasn't for me.

What do you do when the most magnetic man you have ever met is your bad boy brother-in-law whom you've just been introduced to? And if he kisses you before he even knows your name, what do you tell his brother? With a less than ideal first impression, Truth finds herself prevaricating and feeling uncomfortable in the presence of Jackson. He on the other hand, realises that he has stepped badly out of line and does his best to ignore and put as much distance between Truth and himself. When Danny loses his life, both Truth and Jackson are devastated, but handle their grief differently, forcing Truth to put even more distance between them, taking on nursing assignment all over the US. When Truth receives a desperate phone call from Jackson, she returns to his hometown to take care of him, only to realise that the attraction between them is as electric as ever. Both of them are dealing with their guilt and both make mistakes. I personally found this romance to be somewhat earth, but it wasn't offensive in any way. Jackson is basically a good guy with a tender heart, as evidenced by his caring for Daisy, but he is so used to keeping people at a distance that he is his own worst enemy. Although it would appear that this book is part of a series, it is nevertheless a stand alone and both Truth and Jackson eventually come to their senses. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.
