Jordan's Return

Starred review from March 21, 2016
Second chances unfold in beautiful surroundings on the Virginia coast in this tender, heartwarming contemporary from bestseller Chase (the Montgomery Brothers series). When single mother Jordan Manning decided to take her two young sons on vacation, the last person she expected to encounter was her first love, Rob Tyler. Jordan is recovering from a divorce and
a car wreck—both the fault of her abusive ex-husband—and just wants time to relax and figure out where to go from there. But that’s hard to do with the man who first broke her heart hovering right nearby. Rob can’t believe his luck when Jordan pulls up next to him. She left him at the age of 18 after he was caught kissing someone else. He never apologized to Jordan, and he never got over her. Now far more mature and financially successful, Rob is ready to have the family they once dreamed of, if he can find the words that will win Jordan and her sons over to the idea. Backstory is woven in flawlessly, making the lovers’ reconnection believable and satisfying. This delightful and soothing story was Chase’s debut, published digitally in 2011, and will reach many fortunate new readers in this first print edition. Agent: Mark Gottlieb, Trident Media Group.
