Out of the Darkness

Prescott #1

by B.J. McMinn

A horrific tragedy has rendered her mute. Now, pregnant and terrified of the future, the woman known only as Jade runs for her life, not knowing where the path she takes will lead . After his wife dies giving birth to their daughter, rancher Jason Prescott allows his sister to raise his child. But he longs to bring up his child on the ranch he loves. When he stumbles across an unconscious pregnant woman near a little-used wagon trail, he takes her home and nurses her back to health with personal motives nagging at the back of his mind.

Even though Jade cannot speak, she feels a deep devotion to Jason for rescuing her. As the days and weeks pass, the two grow closer. When Jason asks her to enter into a marriage of convenience, Jade agrees. But Jade is troubled by nightmares she cannot explain, and Jason becomes a lifeline in her dark world.

While Jade and Jason await the birth of her child, their marriage of convenience becomes a marriage of passion. But Jade's past still stands between them. Is their love strong enough to conquer her demons?

**2.5**

I could tell pretty early in that the writing of this book was not quite for me, but I was so intrigued with the story line and had to find out what the big reveal was, that so I said to myself, what the hell, its a short book, I'll follow it through. And it played out pretty much how I thought it would - lacking any real substance, and the only thing driving the plot being the need to know what happened to Jade to make her lose her voice.

3.7 stars. I wasn't a fan of the writing style... There isn't much excitement and it's a bit slow but overall it's a good book with a HEA.

If you like slow and steady, women with mysterious past, dependable men and cute kids this book is for you.

Solid story, a woman muted by terror, nearly dead meets a man of compassion and strength to love and heal her.

Extreme discomfort.

Extreme discomfort.

Excellent story. Two people who find each other accidentally yet seemingly meant for each other. They are both trying not to let the other see how
such they care, causing such sexual tension they're ready to explode.Good ending.

I thought the selective mutism would pull me in, but the love/lust at first sight annoyed me. It is hard for me to buy into almost any book in that situation though.
