Review: Emma's Home (Fairfield #1) by Maryann Jordan

 Kumiko Lei     3 Stars, Emma's Home, Fairfield, Maryann Jordan, Review     No comments   


Beautiful Emma Dodd has always taken care of everyone. She raised her niece when they were orphaned and she cares for the students that she counsels. Deciding to move to Fairfield where her niece now lives, she was hoping to finally find a place to call home.

Jake Campbell, was gorgeous enough to catch any woman’s eye, but he had a hard time finding the right one for him. A Fairfield detective, he lives with his mother to help care for her since she was diagnosed with a debilitating disease.

After meeting Emma, he knows he has met the woman of his dreams. Now he just has to convince the independent Emma that it is time someone took care of her.

Join Emma and Jake, along with their tight knit group of family and friends as they find love in Fairfield.

While helping one of her students, Emma becomes suspicious of criminal activity in her new town. Will Jake be able to save Emma in time for them to build a life together?

If you follow my reviews, you know that I am a sucker for Virginia authors... and for stories set in Virginia.  If I even think the word "Virginia" is mentioned, that book is going on my TBR.

So, I stumbled onto Maryann Jordan, she has a series set in a fictional Virginia town and she's from Virginia.  BAM!!!

Well, my fingers decided to go one-click books 1 & 2 of the series.

And now, here we are...

Emma's Home is Maryann Jordan's debut novel, and I think for a first novel, she did a pretty good job.  As with most series, I expect the subsequent books will get better and better as it goes along.

When I started reading this I immediately started drawing comparisons to Kristen Ashley's Sweet Dreams.  The similarities don't linger far into the book, so if you get that "I've read this before feeling", keep reading, that feeling goes away fairly quickly.

I will admit, it was dragging for the first 1/4 of the book, but when it picked up, I was completely engrossed and couldn't stop reading.  Yes, a little predictable, but who cares.  It's worth the read.

I liked Emma, and I thought it was funny that everyone thought she was an old lady, but then, throughout the rest of the book, I had a hard time picturing her as a young woman.  Probably just my issue.

Jake, Jake, Jake... I liked Jake, and I do tend to like the possessive hero, but it seemed that Jake took it to the extreme a lot and that bugged me a little.

Some of the dialogue was stilted and that was a little distracting, but all in all, not bad and worth the read.  And the lead-in to Laurie's time had me intrigued.  I can't wait to get into that one.
