Rafe - Maryann Jordan Another sweet story to add to this series! This one is a twist on Beauty and the Beast. He is the beauty (a very hot model) and she is the 'beast' (woman with scars and insecurities). I liked the tension build up as Rafe tries to push his way into Eleanor's life. Plus, you get more Miss Ethel, more Zander and the other brothers, and more of this enchanting little town in Virginia!

Zander - Maryann Jordan

Zander is a bit of a different type of story from Jordan's usual books. Its a retelling of sorts of Sleeping Beauty and it worked. Sleeping Beauty was never my favorite fairy tale. I mean, come on...woman just sleeping in the forest. Strange man finds her and decides "Yep, kissing her seems cool", then they fall in love the moment her eyes open...yeah, there are SO many things wrong with this. But, Jordan managed to retell the story with a modern twist and fix some of the major plot holes with the original.

Zander is a former foster kid who now owns a bar called Grimm (get it!). One evening, he sees a woman in his bar who he thinks is too innocent looking for her own good. He asks her to leave. She gets assaulted in the parking lot. Zander feels a huge amount of guilt over it. First, she wasn't actually doing anything wrong but he made her leave anyway. Second, he was attracted to her on some level and that was part of the reason he wanted her gone. Third, it happened in his bar. She ends up in a coma and he comes to the hospital to read to her. Its very touching!

I did tear up a few times-Zander's past is difficult and totally pulled at my heartstrings. His care for everyone around him is remarkable and made me wish everyone had a person like him in their lives. Rosalie is a likable character (once she is awake!) and I thought her and Zander handled everything, even miscommunications, with maturity. It was relaxing to read a story that wasn't fully to new adult angst, miscommunications, and drama llamas. Zander is a sweet twist on a classic tale, with characters that are truly enjoyable.

 

• POV: 3rd
• Tears: yes
• Trope: fairytale retelling
• Triggers: [spoiler]What happened to her is not detailed, but she is assaulted and beaten badly enough to end up in a coma, so this might be a trigger for some readers[/spoiler]
• Series/Standalone: stand alone
• Cliffhanger: [spoiler]no[/spoiler]
• HEA: [spoiler]yes with multiple epilogues[/spoiler]

Other retellings like Wasted Words by Staci Hart, A Kingdom of Dreams by Judith McNaught, Equal Parts by Emma Winter...then you will probably like Zander!

 

Picking Up the Pieces - Maryann Jordan

Picking Up the Pieces continues Jordan's stories of veterans finding peace and love after their military career is over. Lance was a military cop who watched his unit die on a mission. He tried to return to a normal life by working as a cop in Richmond, but it wasn't for him. He moves to Baytown and becomes a bit of a recluse who stays at home making art from sea glass.

Jade is a 2nd grade teacher who collects sea glass to share with her students. She loves her job and her friends in Baytown. She has a chance encounter with Lance that does NOT go well. He is surly and rude to her immediately. However, she isn't willing to let him push her around and is determine to be kind and welcoming. They slowing start to get to know each other and Lance begins to realize his life, as he has been living it, isn't making him happy. He and Jade discover how much they have in common and its a sweet, normal relationship. You have the added mystery of a murder in town and Jade's tangental relationship to the murder. This kept me guessing and was mysterious enough to make the plot feel like it didn't drag along. You also have the dynamic of small town life that adds to the plot. The interesting people of the town make for a well rounded cast of characters!

My biggest issue with Picking Up the Pieces is similar to issues I have had with Jordan's books in the past-the dialogue can be corny at times. This could just be me being judgmental and jaded though. However, sometimes the dialogue has me rolling my eyes at the cheesiness.

 

• POV: 3rd
• Tears: no
• Trope: ex-military, small town
• Triggers: none
• Series/Standalone: stand alone within an interconnected series
• Cliffhanger: no
• HEA: yes with epilogue

Claiming Alexis by Susan Stoker, Red Stone Security series by Katie Reus, Mae Day by Anne Conley...then you will probably like Picking Up the Pieces!

Thin Ice - Maryann Jordan

Thin Ice is part of the Sleeper SEALs but they don't have to be read in order! This is a series of books written by different authors that have 1 connecting character, a retired Commander who finds SEALs to go on covert, single man missions. In Thin Ice, that retired SEAL is Logan, a helo pilot who was injured saving a teammate. He agrees to take this mission because his life feels like its missing something and he does miss the excitement and service! He is tasked with investigating a terrorist cell that could be making a biological weapon. He is teamed up with a scientist from the Department of Homeland security. He and Viv have to work in close quarter and pretend to be married...what could go wrong?!

Viv is obviously not a trained field agent, so this is new to her. She was an interesting character who was way out of her element! Viv's backstory was really interesting as well with her unique heritage! Logan is so used to being alone and never interacting with people that he struggles with Viv for a bit early on. Add is the suspense of the possible terrorist threat and you have compelling story!

 

• POV: 3rd
• Tears: no
• Trope: fake marriage, ex-military, terrorism
• Triggers: none
• Series/Standalone: stand alone
• Cliffhanger: no
• HEA: yes
