Stephanie Sullivan: Review - Rebuilding Her Life

December 11, 2021

TITLE: Rebuilding Her Life

RATING: ★★★★

Summary (from Amazon): Coming home isn’t always easy…in this novel from USA TODAY bestselling author Ruth Logan Herne.

Faced with a decades-old mistake, can she find forgiveness?

After a fire devastates her hometown, Dr. Jess Bristol returns to save her mother’s clinic—and comes face-to-face with her high school sweetheart. Over twenty years ago, Jess helped put Shane Stone in jail…and later learned he was innocent. Now they must work together to restore their town. Though Shane has put his past behind him, can the adoptive single father forgive the woman he once loved?

REVIEW: This was my first time reading Ruth Logan Herne’s work, and I really enjoyed it. A big selling factor for me was the hero and heroine are in their 40’s, which is rare to find in a romance book nowadays. (A NOTE TO AUTHORS: Those of us in our 40’s and beyond love a good romance too! It’s not just for those in their 20’s and 30’s!) Jess and Shane’s love story is beautiful and one to be admired. They have a few obstacles in their path, but they never give up. I caught myself tearing up several times while reading this book, and I’d gladly recommend it to everyone. I look forward to reading more of Ruth’s work very soon.
