Megan Kimble has finally freed herself from years of abuse at the hands of her ex. Now she can finally start a new life and figure out just who she really is. When her brother Matt dies suddenly, she takes a big risk and moves cross country to live in his house and take over his new business. This could be the chance she's needed. There's only one problem now: she can't seem to escape the irresistible charm of her departed brother's best friend. Todd Jordan just lost his best friend and business partner. Watching Matt's sister move into town, his attraction to her is instant. Can he prove to her that all men are not the same, and resist his own desires as she learns to trust again? Overcoming the odds is just part of their journey. The two must first survive a fateful visit from Megan's ex to have any chance at happiness.… (més)

Excellent book. Not sure why I have delayed reading this series for so long but I really enjoy this one. Coming to Pride to attend her brother's funeral, Megan Kimble might just have found the perfect place to hide from her abusive ex husband. The town is nice, the people warm and welcoming. It's a place she can feel safe in. A great well written story I highly recommend. ( )

This is the story of Megan. Her brother has just died, she's divorced and needing a place to reinvent herself. She decides to stay at her brother's place after finding out he had plans to include her in his business. Instead she partners with her brother's best friend, Todd Jordan and his brother and sister.

Megan is a strong young woman but I didn't enjoy Todd's character I thought he seemed to much like the ex-husband. A little fast at the end but otherwise a good story. ( )

Extended Review on The Review Board

Strengths:

A. Easy to read–One of the things that I liked about Finding Pride was the fact that it was easy to follow. Some books that are lengthy (this one is close over 200 pages) can be a challenge for some readers to get through, but Finding Pride was not one of them.

B. Style–Jill does a really wonderful job for setting the style for a small town like Pride, Oregon. None of the details were overdone, and it really does represent what a small town is like.

C. Action–It was nice to see the action pick up. I was wondering at what point would the ex-husband play a factor, which was closer to the end of the book, although I was looking for it more towards the middle.

Opportunities:

A. Proofreading–I noticed there were a few errors in punctuation (some missing, some misplaced). I also noticed that the ex-husband’s name spelling changed halfway through the book, so I had to double check to make sure it was the same person or if there was a new character introduced altogether.

B. Too predictable–I knew that ultimately Todd and Megan were going to be together, but there were little to no surprises. It was as if everything was planned. There was really no competition to throw Todd off track or any of us off track in thinking he may not ultimately get Megan.

C. Pacing of the Love Story–At first, the pace was just right, indicative of a woman who’s been through abuse and a guy who is trying to take his time. Then, it became a bit accelerated. The point where Todd asks Megan to marry him throws me off a bit, but once Megan shuts down, it gets the pace almost back to where it needs to be. It also took me off guard after the ex-husband’s attack that Megan becomes the one who pushes for marriage. I understand she’s shaken up but it makes her bold enough to want marriage. This, I am uncertain, but it does serve to put a happy ending on the story.

For those who love a good, predictable love story, Finding Pride is definitely in the running. ( )
