Five years ago, Josie Fairmore left timber country in
search of a bright future. Now she’s back home with a mountain of debt and
reeling from a loss that haunts her. Desperate for a job, she turns to the one
man she wishes she could avoid. The man who rocked her world one wild night and
then walked right out of it.
Former Marine Noah Tager is managing his dad’s bar and
holding tight to the feeling that his time overseas led to failure. The members
of his small town think he’s a war hero, but after everything he’s witnessed,
Noah doesn’t want a pat on the back. The only thing he desires is a second
chance with his best friend’s little sister.
Josie’s determined to hold onto her heart and not
repeat her mistakes, but when danger arrives on Noah’s doorstep and takes aim
at Josie, they just might discover that sometimes love is worth the risk.
I
loved Running Wild, which is the prequel to Serving Trouble; so that already
set this book up to a high standard! Did Serving Trouble live up to it….well
you will have to read on to find out…
When
your life has fallen apart and you feel defeated, what is the one thing that we
all do…we go home and that is exactly what Josie Fairmore has done. But now she
needs a job to pay off the large amount of hospital debt and she goes to the
one person who offered to always help her…Noah Tager and after 5 years she
hoped that was still true!
The
last person Noah Tager expected to turn up at his bar looking for a job was the
one women he could never get out of his head! Not matter how hard he tried! But
standing right in front of him was the even more stunning Josie Fairmore.
Even
though they are both now back home, both of them are struggling with what
haunts them but slowly they find each other again…that is until danger rears
its ugly head again and Noah is determined to keep Josie safe, so he can
finally have his second chance, that he has always wanted.
I
am going to be blunt, I read read this book 3 time in a row! NOT because it was
bad! But because it was so beautiful that I honestly couldn't get it out of my
head! To say that I had a bad case of book hangover is honestly an
understatement. This book is both gripping and heart breaking! From when Josie
tells Noah and then her father (much later in the book) her truth and why she
came home, I cried so hard! It was truly a heartbreaking moment for me! But
then there was lots of fun and light hearted moment, especially when Daphne was
in the picture! That women is the perfect mixture of sassy and sense! I love
her! I will give you one quick teaser about this book and you will know what it
means if you have read Running Wild…we see the bull again!!
There
are so many characters that I absolutely love in this book, that I honestly
could go on forever about how great they all are! But I want to move on to the
other components of this book such as the writing and the storyline. The
writing is magnificent as pretty much every Sara Jane Stone book is and I am
highly jealous of that! But I think you can also feel her passion though her
books.
This
plot; much like every other Sara Jane Stone book that I have read, has a
military influence running though it, but it doesn't overwhelm the book or
confuse me with military lingo. You can see the research the author has put
into any main point of the book, she didn't guess or was vague but is detailed and precise and that is truly
the mark of an amazing author and Sara Jane Stone is truly an amazing author.
I
give Serving Trouble 5 stars!
