She’s ready for a second chance

Jessica Cooper married the love of her life right after high school graduation only to have her happily-ever-after dreams burned to cinders the night her husband broke her arm in a fit of rage. Twelve years later Jesse says yes to Garrett’s proposal, convinced it’s finally her turn to have the life and love she’s always longed for, with a man who can be trusted to hold those dreams safe. When Garrett is accused of the unthinkable and her ex-husband turns up on her doorstep, offering apologies and undying love, who should she believe?

The Trap That Compassion Built

Garrett Saxton is a respected, by-the-book high school counselor. Everything changed the night one of his female students showed up after-hours, hysterical, and begging for his help. Unable to send her away, he calls for a chaperone and offers what comfort he can until reinforcements arrive. Now he’s accused of rape and paternity by the student he tried to help and his future with Jesse is ending before it began.

The obstacle course of love

With a manipulative ex-husband who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, career-ending accusations, and the threat of legal action, everything seems to be spiraling out of control. How can Jesse and Garrett overcome the challenges to their happiness and salvage the promise of a life together?

Inspirational Romance

Jesse is the fourth book in the inspirational romance series, Sisters by Design, by Sharon Srock. And she has done it again as she gives readers a well-written story about friends who are Christianity in action and know how to support one another through difficult situations.
Srock's characters are strong, likable, and believable, people you would like to have as your own friends. And yet they are not portrayed as perfect but are shown with their foibles and faults as well as their strengths. Not afraid to tackle gritty subjects, the author tactfully and tastefully writes of unwed motherhood, false accusations of paternity, and abuse. The story moves quickly as the author adds a twist or two to the plot and weaves in strong Christian values to bring readers a heartwarming and inspirational read.
I listened to a complimentary copy of the audiobook and the narrator, Becky Doughty, did a great job giving voice to the characters and their story, making for an enjoyable listening experience. A review was not required and the opinions are my own.

Love the author and narrator

JESSE - I've come to know and love this author through her audio books, which happen to be read by my favorite narrator.

Jesse and Garrett's road to their happily ever after turns out to be bumpy, thanks to both a fist-yielding, misinformed father who believes the lie of his teenager, now pregnant (supposedly by the groom), and an abusive first ex-husband who goes nuts and gets armed.
Choosing to trust the Lord and her second husband-to-be, Jesse is grateful to God for her circle of praying and exercising girlfriends. Thus the way to the altar is paved for the sweet couple.

Inspirational Love Story with an Ardent Twist

In “Jesse”, Scrock has written an inspirational love story that will capture your heart and attention after the first 2 sentences. Garrett has recently given Jesse a dazzling diamond ring and reminds her of his ardent love for her with a couple of steamy kisses. This happy moment is soon interrupted but not forgotten after they hear the loud voices of her parents arguing.

In the midst of conflict in both of their lives, God has also given Jesse and Garrett some amazing friends who share their love for God. Srock has thrown several twists and turns into the the story from the return of an ex-husband and and her finance being accused of rape by a student.

You will definitely want to listen to Jesse and Garrett's story to see who she picks and how God guides them in their decisions during some rough circumstances. This book is part of a series and I'm looking forward to listening to the next book in the series. I give this book 5 stars.

Becky Doughty is the narrator of this book and you will find that she adds an exciting quality to the words as she creates the atmosphere with her voice. I would give Becky 5 stars as well.

Sharon Srock does it again

This is the first book of Ms. Srock that I have listened to on audible. I have read many of her books. Great job on the audible version. Will definitely get more of her books on audible.
