About the book:
An Unexpected Reunion . . . A Second Chance at Love
Jesse Donovan is a changed man. Now a Christian and a successful building contractor, he’s dedicated to taking responsibility for his self-centered past. That includes welcoming the teenage boy he didn’t know he fathered. When the boy’s mother walks into Jesse’s office, their son has run away from home and is on a dangerous road, travelling with a friend who isn’t a friend at all.
Maeryn Scott once loved Jesse Donovan, only to be abandoned without even a goodbye. Her love for him died suddenly—or so she thought. Now, with her son in danger and determined to confront his father, Maeryn must face the conflicting needs of her son and her own heart. Who is Jesse now? Can she trust him? Falling in love again is the last thing Maeryn wants to do—especially with a man who will turn her world upside down.

My review:
This was a wonderful story about an incredibly hard situation. I liked seeing the journey Maeryn and Tim, their son, was on and how they started out angry and distrusting of Jesse but saw the kind of man he had become and started to trust and believe he truly did love them. I was a little frustrated with Tim and how he trusted his friend and made some potentially deadly choices. I loved that we got the three points of view so we could get inside their heads. The author wrote the emotions well. There were also some really great conversations about faith and trusting God as Jesse had hit rock bottom before and really depended on God to fight his demons. He was an amazing example to Maeryn and Tim and to me, too! There was some sweet romance and a little action. This is book three in the series and I remember enjoying the first one but hadn't read book two yet. It's not required to enjoy this story. I highly recommend it!
