The Book

Jesse and Ella were each other’s first everything; Two souls destined to be together… until life tore them apart.

Now, ten years later, their paths cross again, reigniting old sparks that never fully faded.

When Jesse learns that Ella has moved back to Bellamy for good, he’s determined to give it another shot. But Ella’s been through more than Jesse knows. If they’re not careful, it could keep them stuck in their past and drive them apart again.

Will their love and faith be enough to get a second chance at a happily ever after?

Book Review

A second chance romance with imperfect characters who try to live out their faith... but struggle with temptation and fall short? Um, yes, please! Jesse and Ella were high school sweethearts who find themselves reunited after 10 years apart. Despite their history and all the time apart, they quickly learn that all those old feelings are still very much present. But making it work is still not without its struggles. Second chance romance is one of my favorites... I loved seeing those flashbacks to the time they fell in love in the first place and seeing how much they've grown since. They were so sweet together, and I couldn't help but root for them. More importantly though, I love stories that feel genuine and aren't afraid to show readers that people aren't perfect and relationships sometimes take work to make it... and I think that's something Jordan does well in her books. Waiting for marriage is a big theme in this story... and yet while this was something that Jesse believed in strongly, that didn't mean he/they always got it right, which made their story feel that much more real. I feel like sexual temptation and going BACK to those convictions is not something that we hear a lot about, and I just think this is going to be a great message for many Christian readers who have faced that same struggle. This was a beautiful romance, and I find myself looking forward to seeing what comes next in the series. 

Still Yours is a Christian closed-door romance with fade-to-black and implied intimacy between a non-married couple. It does have minor language throughout.
