Resident bad boy Jackson Matoa is not very good at expressing his feelings. Especially when those feelings include an inexplicable desire toward his brother’s widow. And if the blow from his young brother’s death wasn’t enough to break him, the guilt of his unwavering lust for his sister-in-law just might… Despite her best efforts, Truth Richards can’t seem to make sense of her feelings for her … feelings for her insufferable brother-in-law. She’s certainly not willing to admit just how deep those feelings run. With one phone call, Truth finds herself returning to Cedar Bend and forcing her way back into Jackson’s life.
Yet with the pain of their loss still fresh, can these two broken hearts borrow each other’s strength to find happiness with each other? Or will their guilt and grief push them further apart?

This is one of those books that you feel all your emotions. I liked that the characters are written in a way that makes them feel real. At times you dislike them and others you are happy for them. Over all you can’t help but love them. I really enjoyed the ups and downs that I felt while reading this book. It is a great story line and was well written. I think everyone would enjoy reading this book. Although this can be read as a stand alone, the supporting characters in the story will make you want to read all the books in the series.
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.
Every life is full of surprises. Some good, others not so much. It’s how we handle the ups and downs that gives us the strength to become who we are meant to be. Truth and Jackson are a complicated pair. From first meeting they got under each other’s skin. He was the tough guy with the seductive eyes and the frustrating demeanor. She was a beauty finding her wings in a world, that was not always kind. Attraction was instant, but forbidden. Truth was a newlywed and Jackson’s sister – in – law. When fate hands her a raw deal and tragedy comes knocking at her door, Truth must find the courage to make her own way in the world. Through the grief and uncertainty, she finds herself facing her past, following her heart and falling in love again. One brother captured her heart, will the other brother help her piece it back to together. Something Borrowed begins with a love triangle that is a heartbreak waiting to happen and ends up being a tale of hope for anyone who has loved, loss and found the courage to try again.
This is one of those books I could see as a made for tv movie or show. Girl married boy but life happens to throw a monkey wrench at them and well in all honest at his brother as well. Because of the monkey wrench being thrown at them it causes all sorts of issues for Trust and Jackson…. (the sister in law and brother in the story.) Boy am I being vague enough for you. Let me just say I do not like to give storylines away and this book is one of those books that if I say to much I might give the storyline away.
This is one book that I started reading and the only time I put it down was to sleep. It is good… for me i really got into it and was visualizing different actors and actresses for the different characters. It is one of those books that made me go yep just share. Now I wonder who will be a bride next?
