I received this book from Netgalley. I enjoyed this book. It had a happily ever after type of ending. I liked that it was older characters with history and not "new adult" as most books tend to be these days. The characters evolved during the story which was nice. As nice as the main male character was, I'm not sure that I would even give a homeless person a chance-- she is a better person than I. ;) There were really no surprises in the book, but it was a nice easy read. I would definitely read more by this author.

A wonderful story of two people with strong issues to overcome. Daniel, a homeless vet with anger issues, is living in the alley behind Jenna's cafe. He hears her scream one day, and rushes in to help her. She is trying to fix the plumbing, but does not do a good job. Needless to say, he offers to help and a friendship forms, and attraction soon follows. I liked the story, and liked the way people around them act and respond. Made me think of how I would react, and I also really enjoyed reading of their relationship growth. A sweet story, that was hard to put down. Highly recommend this book and author.

The guy told her she had to lose twenty pounds, and she still married him?

So the poor man really is homeless? And a veteran?!

Wait, his uncle lives in the same town, yet he is homeless and eating out of dumpsters? Bastard!

It sounds like everything he did that was "dangerous" was done to help people.

How lovely that they are helping each other. Not just physically, with her providing him with food and shelter while he does manual labor for her. But emotionally as well. They both had such low self-esteem at the beginning.

What's wrong with tile? It looks better.

Haha, Annie is evil!

Is it hot in here? Dayum.

I totally understand why he left.

People are weird. Who wants to eat where you know someone was attacked?

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Heartwarming love story

This is the first time I've read Marci Boudreaux but it certainly won't be the last. This book was unlike anything I've ever read before. Jenna and Daniel's first meet was really unique. I loved that while they were both real flawed characters somehow being together was helping them heal. I thought they and the supporting characters faced real life challenges. This is a stand alone novel but I liked the supporting characters so much I look forward to going back and reading the other books in this series.
I received an advance reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

Reminded me of Susan Stoker's Badge of Honor series in that Marci tackles a society stigma. Which I find rare for a author to tackle so beautifully. Loved the story. As soon as I finished it I signed up for the authors newsletter! Will definitely keep a eye out for future ones by this author.
