It’s not where you’re from – it’s where your heart leads you.
Everyone has a past. Dana tried to outrun hers by moving to beautiful Lake Hope in search of a fresh start. With her life at a crossroads, she must choose between a life-alternating professional opportunity or address the undeniable distraction she has to Jackson, a man with inked up muscles and smoldering intensity. Dana has played … Dana has played this game before and felt its burn. To protect her heart, she knows she should avoid temptation… even if he’s a painfully attractive one.
Jackson doesn’t talk about what drew him to Destiny Falls. These days, he’s perfectly content living the quiet life as a coffee shop manager. But one look at Dana, and he’s willing to jeopardize his scars from the past being revealed to pursue the longings of his heart. For her, he will face his demons head-on.
Will both their pasts blind them to a future together? Or will the magnetic possibility of a future together have them risk it all once again?

The story was romantic and yet funny at the same time. Diane had troubles and had to protect her heart with all sincerity. She was a business minded woman which made her a strong woman figure, thinking about the future. Jackson was a man with a past but he was trying to change. The plot was good, a great read. I look forward to more stories from this author.
I was looking forward to this story after reading the others and honestly I thought it was brilliant. I love how the story develops and the twists along the way give it the right amount of drama needed. I absolutely recommend you read it.
Jackson’s Love is the third book in the Lake Hope Series. It is a sweet love story about two people who have been hurt in the past and have trust issues. Dana is the owner of the local yoga studio and Jackson manages the local coffee shop. These two have danced around each other for months. When the chef for Dana’s yoga retreat at Lake Hope has an emergency Aaron, who knows Jackson’s history, convinces him to step in as chef for the week. It turns out the coffee shop manager is a famous chef with a story. How will this affect his relationship with Dana especially when her conniving ex boyfriend shows up at the retreat? Settle in for drama and love with this latest book.
I enjoy a story that has a slow burn that builds into something so much more. Jackson and Dana both have past issues to deal with and she has the singular focus of getting her new business off the ground. They have been dancing around each other, when they finally are tired and ready to act. The story is well paced, characters interesting and complex, and the H/h have great chemistry. Great Read.
Loved this book! Jackson and Dana were such an amazing addition to the series!! This book has staying power in my brain! I’m obsessed with them! Jackson is definitely a deserving member of my harem!!
In love with this book.
Jackson’s Love has everything you could want in a book. Fantastic characters and setting. Amazing storyline and crazy ups and downs. This being the third book in the Lake Hope series, I highly recommend reading the previous books to get a better grasp of the characters and the storyline but that’s only my opinion.
I’ve loved every book in this series. Each one bringing forth more of the Lake and it’s amazing tales.
Dana and Jackson’s story is a bit different than the others. Dana is single and used to doing things for herself, leaving behind her family and starting over with her own yoga studio in Destiny Falls.
Jackson is escaping his precious life for something simpler. Helping his relative run his coffee shop and just chilling out.
These two together are night and day, darkness to light. And their intertwining of their lives makes for one great book.
Grab it. Dont miss out on this well written, highly addictive book and series.
5/5
This book was fantastic!! I loved being back in Destiny Falls. I adored Jackson and Dana’s story. Two people who had to deal with their pasts in order to move on with their future. It’s emotional, and a slow burn romance, that’s brilliantly written, with an engaging storyline, amazing characters that you fall in love with and want to know about. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
4.5 Stars!
Mel Walker has a way of right the most AMAZING Heroines and in Jackson’s Love we get Dana! She is strong and determined, yet she holds back due to her past. When her past meets present she remains poised and doesn’t forget her goals, in fact she takes a step that she was fearful of. The support system she has in these other powerful women; Candace and Mia, as well as their men; Ryan and Aaron who really step up to the plate. Jackson, ooh the changes….his story just made this story complete – it offered something different from the norm. It helps that he gives you that warm comfortable feeling. Let me just say that the introduction to Tyrone made me laugh, especially when Jackson had the same sentiment as me ~ well played Mel, well played!
I simply LOVED this book!
