Stealing Jake by Pam Hillman
When Livy O’Brien spies a young boy jostling a man walking along the boardwalk, she recognizes the act for what it is. After all, she used to be known as Light-Fingered Livy. But that was before she put her past behind her and moved to the growing town of Chestnut, Illinois, where she’s helping to run an orphanage. Now she’ll do almost anything to protect the street kids like herself.Sheriff’s deputy Jake Russell had no idea what he was in for when he ran into Livy―literally while chasing down a pickpocket. With a rash of robberies and a growing number of street kids in town―as well as a loan on the family farm that needs to be paid off―Jake doesn’t have time to pursue a girl. Still, he can’t seem to get Livy out of his mind. He wants to get to know her better . . . but Livy isn’t willing to trust any man, especially not a lawman.
My Opinion:
Excellent read!!! Pam's style is amazing and once again she grabs me from the first page and won't let me go! Mystery and secrets weave throughout a captivating plot! Lovely characters with interesting back stories draw you in deeper to their lives and situations. I love Livy and her expression of her faith and struggles with her past and present! Jake is a lovable character with troubles of his own! His big heart and sweet ways immediately made him a favorite! And the addition of the kids as well as the whole concept of this story are awesome and well written! Danger, intrigue, Faith, secrets, fear, love, and much more await you in this fabulous read!
