Jane & Chris! I loved their story! The story of learning how to love and also learning how to love again, while learning how to let someone love you! I felt the struggle that Jane had to go thru in finding her way back to being whole again. It is no easy task and I am glad that the author showed how much of a struggle she had to go thru with all the changes. The battle within Chris to not want to get involved with a widow mother of 3 would definitely go through many minds! But the undeniable attraction was what drew them together & the author took us through their entire journey. Jane's Gift by Karen Erickson 4 STARSJane's Gift is a tender story that takes place mostly in her small hometown over the holidays.Jane wakes up in the hospital to find she has been in a coma for 3 months. Her children are okay but her husband died.Two years later Jane has brought her 3 children home to live in her brothers second home. Jane has a big family and support system thier. Jane and her 3 children are a afraid of fire, with a good cause for it. Her younger brother Max arranged for them to have a tour of the firestation from his friend Christian Nelson.Chris is a fire captain. He does not plan to ever marry and have kids. He comes from a broken home and a only child.Chris is very understanding of why Jane's children are scared. He is really good showing the two oldest the fire engine. He is attracted to Jane even with her burn scars on part of her face. The second time he runs into Jane's family he asked her out.Chris is afraid of relationships while Jane is afraid of fires but they can not stay from each other. Chris finds himself trying to get all 3 of Jane's children to smile at him.I have a feeling that we will see more stories about Jane's family in the future.This is a nice story but feel the characters got over thier fears pretty fast, but it is fiction anyway.A lot of different people warn her that Chris is a player and not to get hurt from him.Jane keeps telling him that she is not ready for a relationship then her actions show she is.This is a quick read. Thier are love scenes in the book I did skip over. I will read more from Karen Erickson in the future.I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review from Netgalley.Publisher: Entangled Publishing (Bliss) (October 24, 2012) 171 pages ASIN: B009WVX0B4
