Jasmine Lane, Book 2. Will the specters of broken trust haunt two souls forever?
REVIEWER’S NOTE: THIS IS BOOK 2 IN THIS SERIES. YOU DON’T HAVE TO READ CANDY CANE KISSES (BOOK 1) TO ENJOY THIS BOOK. HOWEVER, IN THIS REVIEWER’S OPINION, IT’S VERY HELPFUL TO READ BOOK 1 SO AS NOT TO MISS THE BACKSTORY OF THE SUPPORTING CHARACTERS IN THIS BOOK.
Jan lives in her own private hell. Just a few months ago, she was the happiest woman on Earth. Anticipation and joy flooded her being. Wedding dreams danced through her mind. Then her fiancé, Alex, literally disappeared from her life. There’s no explanation. What did she do? When? Why? Alex’s certainly not talking. To make matters worse, Jan’s best friend, Anne, is living Jan’s dream. Now engaged to Jim Grant after their own very rocky start, Anne’s happiness drives a knife through Jan’s heart. What do you do when the man you love more than life itself abandons you? Meanwhile, Alex lives his own soul-rending torment. There is a reason he left Jan. But he CAN’T tell her why. The worst part? Alex still loves Jan with his entire heart. But what makes a man walk away from the woman who owns his soul? When the reason for Alex’s abandonment is inevitably revealed, it shatters Jan. Every ounce of trust she had is gone. And no glue exists to repair a fractured heart! Then, a miracle appears that could fix everything. But do miracles even exist? Alex wants to believe. But what miracle could bring Jan back? Alex didn’t just break her heart. He tore Jan’s precious daughter, Kaylee, to bits too. Does anything exist that could fix any of this? But there are forces at play of which no one is aware. Can those forces overcome anger, despair, fear, and hopelessness? Is there enough magic in the universe to fix this? Unlikely! But unless just such a miracle exists, Alex, Jan, and little Kaylee will forever be lost!
I love this series! Candy Cane Kisses was the first book by Haley Jordan I ever read, and I was so very impressed. In my opinion, Haley Jordan excels at writing sweet romance. He’s better than any author in this genre I’ve read. I’m particularly drawn to Jasmine Lane and the people who live there. They’re very genuine, people you’d meet in real life. The small town setting is very true-to-life. The story isn’t at all melodramatic or saccharine in any way. It’s beautifully written and full of genuine feelings that span the entire range of emotions. Mr. Jordan creates word pictures that fill your mind and keep you captivated throughout the entire book. Congratulations, Mr. Jordan! You have another winning Jasmine Lane book on your hands! This book deserves nothing less than five stars!
Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!
