"A gripping tale about love, loss, and deadly family secrets."
|
Joy is an addict. Booze, drugs, sex, and self-harm make up an endless parade of poor life choices. Therapy and rehab never work, despite her minimal efforts. Cynical, angry, and exhausted, self-sabotaging Joy blames everyone but herself.
After the unexpected death of her abusive mother reveals a puzzling secret, Joy, fresh out of rehab, embarks on a quest to uncover the sins of her family, and the root cause of her trauma. Through this, she discovers she was denied the life she was meant to live, as well as a shocking truth trailing a series of grizzly clues. Joy has two choices, allow the truth finally consume her, or let love to redeem her. |
"Witty, charming, entertaining..."

Gia never thought she’d be looking for love again, but when her twenty-four year marriage dissolves she finds herself swimming back in the sea, only to find the rules have changed, and so have the fish. She quickly discovers how technology has vastly affected romance, and how people connect and relate to one another. In an attempt to ease her cynicism and find herself once more, she reluctantly visits a Life Coach who encourages her to share her misadventures in a blog. No one is as surprised as Gia when her relatable, and humorous love life goes viral, and at almost fifty, her world is changed forever.
This “fish-out-of-water” story explores the ups and downs of life, with both humour and heartache. A celebration of love, friendship and family, Gia’s story is ultimately about forgiveness, and learning to trust herself again so that love will find her. |

“I've just finished binge-reading your entire, wonderfully-written book. After reading the first few chapters I knew I wanted to read the book in one sitting and so today was the day. You had me at the beginning page and never let me go. Your writing kept me captivated the whole way through! The characters were believable and their voices stayed authentic no matter what situation arose. There were surprises and a satisfying conclusion that rang true. Gia was an amazing main character as she had such a big job to fulfill. She never faltered. The writing was witty, full of humour, and just-right sex that fit in seamlessly. This deserves to be shared with a larger audience...”

"You don't have to be divorced or in the dating game to be swept away with this page-turner! The characters spring to life right from the start, and the earthy girl humour had me snorting with laughter. Gia navigates her post-divorce journey to find herself with the advice of her best pal, Lane, and her dating exploits find their way into her new blog. Family dynamics are explored with sensitivity and compassion. Of course, there is also the swoon-worthy hero, but I won't spoil that for you! This is a book for women of all ages. Get it and enjoy!"

"This story was so captivating, funny and refreshing! I fell in love with the main character and was inspired by her journey. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading. At one point I remember looking at how many pages were left and was so relieved to see I wasn’t halfway. I was enjoying the story so much, I didn’t want it to end!"

"Gia goes on a journey of rediscovery after her marriage implodes. Gia’s blog is more than a way to reconnect with her life before Danny. She shines her light on women’s dating issues with wit and laugh out loud perspective. Great cast of supporting characters. Best friend Lane is a sarcastic riot and pulls no punches as she pushes Gia well out of her comfort zone. Well written tale with plenty of heart.

“A sexy, modern, Highland romance….with a twist!”
|
Meg is certain it’s her fate to be single forever, and makes peace with that. Nothing like the heroines in the novels she devours, she escapes a difficult relationship, and moves from Virginia to Scotland, destined to live out her life as a bookworm, happy but alone…
Until she meets Kade, an attractive, witty carpenter, hired to renovate her decrepit little cottage, and turn it into a bookstore. His charms are hard to resist, but Meg is jaded, not ready to fall in love again. Searching through a crate of old books, she chances upon an old diary, penned by Katherine, a young woman from the 60’s. Meg immerses herself into her heartfelt story, intrigued by an idyllic world, where romance was innocent, men were chivalrous, and times were simpler. Unbeknownst to Meg, their stories are strangely connected, fated. Will she unwrap the mystery that binds them, and realign the stars? And then there’s Kade; hot, handsome, and off-limits. Is he destined to be her soulmate, or will history repeat itself? Will she open her heart, or surrender her happy ending? (Adult Content) |

"I could not put this book down. I was sorry the story ended! I am an avid reader, and have many author friends. The first page grabbed me and I knew I had to read this story of Meg, Kade and family. Jennifer sure has a way of painting a story so we can live it while reading it. I felt like I was there. It kept me guessing but longing for Kat and Mack to find each other. I wasn't disappointed with this book. I can only hope/pray that Jennifer has more books in her for us all. You certainly have the skill of writing Jennifer, don't disappoint us by not giving us more."

I absolutely loved this book!
"I don't give out 5 stars very often. The book has to grab me so much that it makes me want to read it over and over again. I need to have a connection with the characters to want to read it multiple times. This is one of those books. This is a new author for me, and I will definitely read more of her work."
