Sophie Marren is pretty much penniless after leaving her abusive husband. She doesn't have the money to pay rent or the slip fees for docking the boat where she's been sleeping. She was getting along just perfectly until the good-looking, brooding, I'm-too-sexy-for-myself guy moves into the lake cabin that the slip belongs to. Sure he's hot as the noon sun with those dark lens and even darker 'tude, but god forbid she tie herself to another man who's always telling her what to do. But the more she gets to know Jacob, the more she sees how willing he is to battle for her wounded heart...a battle she might just let him win.
Jacob was the missing brother from the previous book. He has returned to Cedar Ridge after his last tour and losing a close friend. He knows he has a lot to answer for - leaving town after high school graduation and not contacting anyone from his family. Sophie has experienced a messy divorce and is living on a hateful boat because it is the only thing her ex loves. She has to sneak around to spend the night moored illegally. When she moors at the dock of the cabin rented by Jacob, he becomes intrigued by her and wants to know her story. She is off men but is just as intrigued by him. They decide to have a no strings relationship until he returns to duty. Of course, things don't go as planned. Jacob's family was so glad to have him back, but he felt like he had to prove that he was worthy of their love and forgiveness. It was an emotional journey for Jacob. One that was emotional and heartwarming. Sophie was easy to like and right away you felt their chemistry. She was a hoot and they are perfect for each other. Loved returning to Cedar Ridge and am looking forward to Kit's story.

Ah yes, I do want to read the Cedar Ridge series and so must chase it down some time. This one sounds like a typical JS novel.
I have just re-discovered Women's Fiction, and---I am loving it! I am putting this series on my TBR list! Thanks.
Thanks for the chance, Nise. I've been meaning to start this series, due to all the good buzz!
