The Clover Chapel (Jamison Valley, #2)

by Devney Perry

She took a dare and fell in love. Truth would have been the smarter choice.

After years of living under her father’s thumb, Emmeline is ready to break free. She’s abandoned her life as a New York socialite to follow her dream of becoming a kindergarten teacher in a small, wholesome town. Seeing the man that nearly broke her was absolutely not what she had hoped to find in Prescott, Montana.

Nick hasn’t seen his Emmy in nine years, but that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten a thing about the woman he loves. After just one blissful night as man and wife, he gave her up, sacrificing his own happiness to keep her safe—far away from him. But the moment she walks back into his lonely life is the moment he decides never to let her go again. He won’t waste his second chance. All he has to do is win back Emmeline’s heart, keep her safe from the shadows in his past and prove to her that taking a wager on him is a sure bet.

I LOVE the covers this author uses for her books. They are such a nice change of pace to the usual half-naked man or woman scenario. This one is very pretty. A great representation of the book. Great use of graphics. Fantastic composition.

I don't really have much to say about this one. It was OK, but I didn't enjoy it as much as book one. It dragged a lot for me in places. I also wasn't a huge fan of the setup. I thought Nick's reasons for leaving Emmy were lame. The fact that he didn't bother to look for her at all in nine years but still claimed to be SO in love with her was lame. The fact that he slept with OW even saying the spot where his wedding ring should have been would burn when he did sleep with OW, and he felt like he was betraying his wife, yet continued having sex with other women was lame. Thankfully the heroine wasn't pining for him and moved on to sleep with OM and even have a live-in relationship. Kudos to the author for THAT at least.



All that aside the writing was still good. I enjoy this author's writing style it reminds me of KA without being a straight up copy. The mystery part kept my attention and the sex scenes were fairly hot. It was nice to see the couple from book one as well. So like I said, it was OK overall.
