Church Bells blurs the lines between right and wrong. Tanner and Abigail take complicated to a whole other level. He's a by the book type of guy. Rules are meant to be followed to the letter. She's a woman that has secrets. For her there is no black and white only gray. To protect herself and the people she cares about requires some risky footwork and she has no qualms that. Will the man with the rule book bend the rules for love? Church Bells is emotion charged story of tough choices and second chances.

Tanner is exactly what a broken woman needs for both her mind and her heart.
He's a Texas ranger and she's on the run, he knows she's hiding but what he thinks she's hiding from is just half what she thinks she's guilty of. It's a big ol mess but Tanner's not giving Abigail up, she's the one and only woman he wants and he's damn sure going to make sure he keeps her.
I love a good public servant story and Ranger's at the top of that list! Church Bells is sweet, sexy and well paced. A quick read when your in the mood for a sexy hero.
This is my first read by the author but I'm intrigued, I do believe I need to read more of her work.

Tanner is very good on a girl's ego, "...already knew you were gorgeous,” he says . “But if we don’t move on to a new topic, one where the sight of you in that pretty pink lace bra isn’t fresh in my head, I’m about to take you out for cider and a hayride sporting a baseball bat in the front of my pants.” I loved Tanner the man was protectvie as heck.

This was a short but emotional story. Abby was running from an abusive husband when she met Tanner. Tanner at first didn’t trust the newcomer but noticed after a while that she needed protecting. Abby tried her best to draw attention to herself but she was in a small town where everyone knew everyone.
Little by little she started letting Tanner in when he realized he was falling for Abby. Abby always had a thing for the ranger when she set eyes on him. Things were going good until her past caught up with her. She was beyond scared because she thought that would push Tanner away but it only made their relationship stronger. These two have been thru so much and they definitely deserved their happily ever after.
I received this arc at no cost to the Author.

This is the first book that I have read by Jennifer. I enjoyed this one from the beginning to the end. It was sweet and lovable with a great female character. Abigail just wants to live her life and start over from her past. She runs to Mason, Texas where she feels like she can start over. But her past is not so easy to run from? Tanner is not looking to fall in love and believes that Abigail is just not the right person for him. But little does he know she is exactly the person that he needs in his life. Abigail is so strong and lovable once she lets her walls down just a little bit. I think her and Tanner are absolutely perfect for each other. Loved this book from beginning to the end. I loved Jennifer's writing and cannot wait to read more from her. I highly recommend reading this one. Very well written and enjoyable.

Abigail had to leave her past, it was going to kill her if she stayed. Now she is in the tiny town of Mason, Texas ready to start over. Tanner is a lawman, but he can see when someone is scared. He sees the hurt in her eyes and is willing to find out what is the cause. He just wasn't prepared to fall for her.
Tanner is one sweet talker and if I was woman that needed to start over and feel good again, he is the man.
I loved this story and how it all comes about. Yes it a novella, but this book has so much in it. It was suspenseful, it was quick witted, it has a lot of swoon worthy moments and I just fell in love with it.
Amazing job and I can't wait to read more from this author.

What more could you ask for then a sexy ass Texas Ranger, a beautifully damaged loving woman, and some old favourites from Mason. Its the perfect recipe for a gripping novella. You will devour this in one sitting as this is a well written, well paced great story.
I have to admit I wanted to slap Tanner a few times upside the head, for a Texas Ranger he was slightly dense about what was in front of him but when he steps up he did it in such a swoon-worthy way. Honestly though Tanner and Abby were so good together, he gave her strength and made her feel adored and worshiped. Simply delicious

Loved Abigail and Tanner!
I couldn't put it down because it was so good. It was the type of story to kinda leave you on the edge of your seat waiting to know what's gonna happen. Abigail is such a strong woman who went through he'll and back. A hell no woman should ever have to face, but thankfully she came out in top. And her and Tanner were definitely made for each other. He seen so much more in her than she had in quite some time. Opposites have a tendency of attracting one another for sure. They both got the future they only dreamed of and never thought possible!!

So suspenseful! I was literally waiting for the ball to drop the entire time! This book was SO good!! I fell in love with Tanner and Abby instantly!! I was rooting for them so hard. It was pretty amazing to watch her open up and to open her heart again. She couldn't of picked a better town to go to. My heart was so very happy at the end and this book goes to show you that you always have a second chance at life even if you think you don't.
Highly recommended.

Breathtaking
I love how the author wrote this book different from the others that I have read. I love who a domestic abuse victim can be on the run for something she thinks that she did only to be protected by the town. I love how this book ended. It makes me want more.

Good story...hard to read many mistakes. But aside from that I was rooting for Abigail and Tanner. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because of the mistakes

Church Bells is the story of Abigail, a woman on the run, searching for a place to rest, recover and heal.
She finds that place in Mason, Texas.
She also finds Tanner, a Texas Ranger, who follows the straight and narrow path, which may prove problematic since Abigail walks mostly in the grey, hiding her past with a son of secrets in her closet.
Tanner, however, is determined to keep Abigail for his own. No matter that she's hiding. For him, there's no other but Abigail.
This is a great little novella that you'll end up reading without even noticing how much time has passed.
It features a swoon-worthy sexy hero and a strong woman with the heart of a survivor and a backbone of steel.
I loved this story and would definitely recommend it.
Fans of Lori Foster's Worth the Wait may enjoy this book as well.

I loved how this author added a little suspense to the Wanted World novella series. Abigail and Tanner were perfect for each other and I loved how they each brought out each others personalities. Another hit in this series.
