REVIEW: Kiss It Better by Jenny Schwartz

Kiss It Better by Jenny Schwartz: Cassie Freedom had come back home, after over a year and a half in Africa as a nurse she is back home to figure out what might be next in her life. Her father has a successful family oriented business and now it’s time to figure out why at 27 she can’t figure out what she wants.

Theo Morrigan is the CEO of a very successful family company and a doctor in his own right. That however doesn’t mean that life is easy or that he really knows what he wants. So when he goes to check out another family run business to see if they would be a right fit for the company he isn’t sure what he’s going to find, but he certainly wasn’t prepared for what was coming.

When there is family involved anything can and usually does happen. Cassie and Theo both have to deal with deception and lies from their respective families how is it possible to start something new when there are so many things going against them? Will they learn to trust again? Or will fear rule their hearts.

Ms. Schwartz takes her readers into Jardin Bay with this novel, which is a part of a series but can be read as a standalone. While the descriptions of the characters and the landscapes are good I have to say the plot left a little something to be desired. There were a couple of minor twists but unfortunately they were led into fairly clearly. The story moved well but there wasn’t a lot to reach out and grab the reader. Overall it was however a very pleasant novel to enjoy as a surface read.

Revisit gorgeous Jardin Bay with Jenny Schwartz’s fabulous new novel. The town may look like paradise, but for one nurse it represents only broken dreams.

All Cassie Freedom wants to do is save the world, and she could, if only she were able to. But her dream of nursing in Africa is shattered, and she returns home to Jardin Bay, where familiarity, security, and a sense of her own failure threaten to drown her.

Dr. Theo Morrigan knows a thing or two about responsibility, leaving his own medical practice to take over a family business. He knows his mind, his future, and how he wants to live his life – until an old secret resurfaces and rocks his whole world.

Suddenly, the man who needed no one needs a broken-hearted nurse, and a nurse who thinks she’s too weak will find her own strength.
