Inheriting a house, money and a camp is the fresh start Janie Edmiston has been praying for. But the will stipulates Janie must work with her childhood friend—and crush—Drew Brenner, to get the camp running…or lose it all.

 Review:

Newly divorced single mother, Janie, and widower Drew have until the 4th of July to revive the camp that they attended as children, or lose the generous second chance they've been given. 

Janie's daughter is a cheerful, upbeat girl named Riley. She loves to read, animals and the outdoors. Riley instantly latches onto Drew, wrapping him around her little seven-year-old finger. 

This was a quick heartwarming read, about two hurting hearts drawn back together by the unique stipulations of a will. Janie is a great mother, and wants to do everything she can to give her daughter a fresh start, and the camp seems like an answer to a prayer. Drew is a Park Ranger and all around nice guy, he is great with kids, and has a lot to bring to the table by way of skills and ideas. An enjoyable read, with characters that you can cheer for all the way. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

More from Jill

I have a confession. I own a collection of journals. A huge collection. At last count, there were sixty-two beautifully bound books, some with plain covers, others with verses or artistic designs. You could say I’m a hoarder, but I find comfort in knowing I have an unlimited number of blank pages to record my hopes, dreams and prayers. That’s exactly what I did on June 22, 2008. On that day, I wrote the following:

I want to be a writer, not just a writer who keeps a journal or casually writes stories. I want to be a published writer. Lately, I’ve become obsessed with reading author’s websites, their bios, how they got started writing and how difficult or easy it was for them to get published. This is what I want to do with my life. This is what I will do. I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. God has put this dream in my heart and now I will pursue this dream.

Fast forward to March 31, 2015. I made a last-minute decision to enter Harlequin Love Inspired Blurb to Book Contest. I submitted a one sentence blurb, along with one page of the first and only book I’d ever written.

On April 13, 2015, I was stunned to learn I had advanced in the contest. I then submitted a synopsis and the first three chapters.

On May 15th, I was notified I had moved on in the contest. I was required to submit the entire manuscript. At that time, the book was merely a rough draft, so a lot of rewriting was required before my deadline.

On August 17, 2015, I received a call that forever changed my life. While working my day job, my cell phone rang—it was New York calling. An editor from Harlequin had called to offer me a contract on the first book I’d ever written. My first book Second Chance Romance was released on March 1, 2017.

Five published books later, I still fill my journals with my dreams and prayers.
