Jilted by Varina Denman
Book Description:
Lynda Turner has struggled with depression since her husband abandoned her and their young daughter fifteen years ago.
Yet unexpected hope awakens when a local ex-convict shows interest. As long-hidden secrets resurface, Lynda must fight for her emotional stability and for a life where the shadow of shame is replaced by the light of love.
Jilted tells of a woman who has lost the joy of living, a man determined to draw her back toward happiness, and a town that must---once and for all---leave the past where it belongs. It is a gentle reminder that all things can work together for good.

About the author:

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. This is the first in the series that I've tried to read and I didn't finish it. There was just some reason why I couldn't get into it. I couldn't really connect with the main characters and the twisty plot had a few (of what I considered) crude things in it. After trying and trying to get into it I finally skipped ahead and read the epilogue. I'm not sure if I start this series again from book 1 and read all the way through if that will help (but I did like some of the other characters so I might try someday). At this point Jilted isn't a book for me personally. Lovers and followers of this series and author will be happy to find returning characters from the first books. However if you want to start here I recommend you read the preview sites supply before making your decision about this book.
