Jump, Shirley

This new series from Jump (“Mercy, Indiana” series) is perfect for readers looking for stories that feature both familial and romantic love in a small town.

Jump (A Teaspoon of Trouble) has succeeded in creating an idyllic town, even if the characters seem familiar and the ending is a bit sudden. First in the series, readers will want to revisit Paradise Key in the upcoming installments, by a variety of authors.

Jump revisits the O'Bannons (The Perfect Recipe for Love and Friendship), letting wife and mom Nora find her place in her own life as well as within her bustling Irish Catholic family. Readers might want to shove Nora off the self-control couch a time or two, but eventually she grabs on to what's important. For fans of Jane Porter and Kristan Higgins.
