One Last Risk
Oak Grove #1
By Nancy Stopper
Released: April 18th, 2017
A guilt-drive firefighter, a widowed
mother, neither is ready for love, but love has other plans.
Firefighter Lucas Bennett had the
carefree life he’d always wanted until a deadly blaze took the life of his
company mate and best friend. Blaming himself was easy but pulling himself from
the tailspin of guilt proved to be much harder. The fog of sadness and guilt
pushed him down a dangerous path until he nearly died fighting the beast.
Forced to stop and reevaluate his life, he decided to make a change before it
was too late.
A fire took almost everything from
Sarah Robinson—her husband and her home—leaving her to raise their precious
daughter alone. Everywhere she looked held memories of her husband, pouring
salt on her ever-present wound. Unable to live any longer around the memories
of her husband, she and her daughter moved to Oak Grove, far away from the
grief of the past. All Sarah needed was the chance to start a new life for her
and her daughter.
A car accident on a dark, rainy night
put Lucas and Sarah on a collision course neither of them expected… with
questions they’re not ready to answer. Can a single mother open her broken
heart for a second chance at love? Will a broken firefighter risk his heart for
what might be his only chance at forever? Are each of them willing to take one
last risk to be together? His risk. Her reward. Together, they’ll mend each
other's broken hearts.
If you like small-town romance where
the heroes are sexy and the women are strong, unlock One Last Risk to start
your visit to Oak Grove, Pennsylvania and fall in love with Lucas and Sarah!

Nancy Stopper is a new author to me, but I was inspired to read her
book, basically because it was set in Pennsylvania, not in Philly or
Pittsburgh, but in a fictional town called Oak Grove, which literally could be
the town I live in, and it made such a refreshing change to read a small town
romance, in a place I could actually relate to.
When it came to the plot, it was even more sweet than I expected. With
the character Sarah, relocating to Oak Grove, with her daughter Lily, after
losing her husband in a fire. And Lucas; a firefighter/EMT, who lost his
partner and friend, during a call, and blames himself for his death. Sarah and
Lucas become more to each other than either of them expected. But a lie by
omission, can destroy everything they have together.
Out of all the characters in this book, I'm absolutely love Lucas Mom
and brother Joey, they had me laughing SO hard, I was snot laughing (not my
proudest moment). But I'm also intrigued by the hole of the Bennett
family...what is going on with Joey and Carla. Is Rachel okay? And is Michael's
life, really as wonderful as he makes out!?!
As you can tell, I'm now officially addicted to this series; and
honestly, how could you not be! With its intriguing plot and beautiful writing,
this whole series has now been added to my 1-click list! Which is why it
deserves 5 stars!
