Finding Home

by J.L. Paul

Top female jockey, MaKenna Nilsen, suffers a horrific accident which takes away her memories. She’s trapped in an unfamiliar world with people she can’t remember.
Brett Nilsen, shortstop for the Indianapolis Racers, sees Kenna’s accident on an Internet newsreel and hurries to her side. He’s alarmed that she doesn’t remember him but also a little relieved. He hasn’t spoken to her in months and still hasn’t decided whether or not to file for divorce.
When Kenna is released from the hospital, she moves in with Brett, hoping he can help her to regain her memory. As they travel together down memory lane, they rediscover their feelings for each other. One little memory dangles just out of reach - the memory of why Brett left her in the first place.
In the meantime, Kenna struggles with the facts of her accident and the memories she has recovered. She can’t shake the feeling that her accident wasn’t an accident and that someone is still trying to seek revenge.

I love J.L. Paul! I have read several of her books now, and she just doesn't disappoint. This story is about a jockey who gets into an accident and loses her memory. She must fight for her memories so she can save her marriage to her pro baseball player husband and solve the mystery if her accident was just an accident or not. The relationship between Kenna and Brett is sweet and emotional. They have been through a lot together but have not stopped loving one another. If you haven't given this author a try I suggest doing so!

I don’t want to say too much about this book, because I am afraid I will give something away if I go beyond the description. This story is told from Kenna and Brett’s point of view, which allows the reader to see two sides to the same story. You get to go down memory lane with the characters as Kenna’s memories slowly come back. You will be wondering right along with Kenna about what could have happened so long ago that drove a wedge between her and Brett. You will laugh, you will cry, you will want to throw it across the room in frustration, but most importantly you get to see two characters trying to repair themselves.

J.L makes the characters feel so lifelike that the story will jump out at you and you will be experiencing all there emotions. The surprise twists you won’t see coming, and everything you think you know will turn out to be something different by the end of the book. It’s got romance, second chances, heartbreak, and mystery all wrapped up in one. If you haven’t read this book yet, I suggest you don’t waste another minute and pick up a copy today!

What a great book!! A couple fighting against the odds to save their marriage. I love that JL wrote the book in a way that made you fall in love with the characters as they fell in love with each other all over again. Many times books like this are written under the assumption of, as I like to put it, "understood love." That was not the case. You know exactly why these characters loved each other and why they should be together. While Kenna was pretty much helpless against her own brain, she was not needy, demanding or whinny. She was often frustrated, rightly so, but she strong willed and determined. Brett was protective and attentive. He never question where Kenna belonged even though he was still dealing with his raw sense of anger and betrayal. This was a sweet, emotional story that was well written! I am officially a JL Paul fan! This was my third book from this author and I have loved every one of them!

What a beautiful story. a couple fighting against the odds to save their marriage. Nth at against the odds they still fights for their love. I love the characters, the emotion and the situations they are in, I really loved how they fell in love with one another, all over again. It' clear through out the story why the characters have a lose bond, why they should be together and why they truly love one another. The writer gets the balance of the characters right, Kenna is in an accident she doesn't become, over bearing or whining, yet her situation and being helpless against what happened to her brain, is writer in carefully so that it's balanced just right. Despite his emotions, Brett maintains attentive and protects Kenna. This really is a beautifully written story and a pleasure to read.
