Book Review - The Start of Something Good

ABOUT THE BOOK

When Ethan Bishop returns to the Hudson Valley, his body and spirit are a little worse for wear. As a former Special Forces paratrooper, he saw his fair share of conflict, and he came home with wounds, inside and out. At his sisters’ B & B and farm, he can keep all his pain at a safe distance. But quiet time isn’t easy when a fiery woman explodes into his life…

It’s business—not pleasure—that brings Manhattan PR agent Mia Thrush reluctantly to the farm. Tightly wound and quick tempered, Mia clashes immediately with the brooding Ethan. Everything about him is irritating—from his lean muscles and piercing blue eyes to his scent of sweat and musk.

But as the summer unfolds and temperatures rise, Ethan and Mia discover how much they have in common: their guarded histories, an uncontrollable desire, and a passion for the future that could heal two broken hearts. But will their pasts threaten their fragile chance at a brand-new future?

REVIEW

 Jennifer Probst does a great job creating interesting and complex characters.  Mia instantly had my attention and the way her character grows throughout the story is really well done.  Ethan is even more complex and watching him battle his own demons and slowly heal and grow felt very real.  The story itself is also well written and I can't wait to learn more about the other secondary characters introduced in the book.  
OVERALL RATING - 4.5 STARS!
MATURITY RATING - 18+ a little steamy
