Solace by S.L. Scott



Blurb
He puts the Bad in bad boy. She puts the Sweet in sweetheart. When a hired gun burns out from the life he’s been living, he returns to the small country town where rumors run rampant and everyone goes to church on Sunday. With sins and secrets trailing Jason Koster home, he is searching for redemption in hopes of living a life less complicated. He didn’t expect to find the only girl he ever loved now a recently single woman running her family farm. Delilah Noelle never needed much, but she wanted Jason Koster—one time love of her life. When misunderstandings tear the former beauty queen and quarterback apart, can a second chance heal their broken hearts? Will the years and circumstances that have passed be too much to bridge the distance to a future together? Solace is a heartwarming small town romance with plenty of action and swoons that will have this hometown hero vying for the affections of his high school sweetheart.

 MY REVEIW
 
After reading the Kingwood Duet, I hoped for more from SL Scott for Jason’s story & she has delivered!  So much so, that when I found out Jason’s story was coming, I didn’t even read the synopsis before signing up to review.  I highly recommend the Kingwood Duet & that it be read before Solace – see my 5 star reviews for Savage & Savior! 
Solace is a wonderful contemporary second-chance romance.  The story of high school sweet hearts forced apart by deceit & lies.  From Hometown, USA Jason Koster, high school quarter back & homecoming king.  Delilah Noelle, head cheerleader & queen of Jason’s heart.  They were meant to be together, until they weren’t, because “Sometimes you find yourself living a life you never expected.”
Told in first person, from dual perspectives, with flash backs throughout, you will be entranced by the depth of the love these characters shared in the not too distant past.  You’ll be surprised to find what tore them apart & journey with them as they seek renewed faith & search “…for redemption in hopes of living a life less complicated.” This very sexy, emotionally invested & heart felt second chance romance is so hot that the risk for more heart break just might be worth it “…my panties never stood a chance. Poof. Yup, he’s still got it.”, “—bare innocence with a good helping of vixen mixed in.”  Funny & honest, with everything from the close bond between Jason & his mom “Although I’ll always be her baby, as she constantly reminds me, it’s nice that she treats me like I’m a man.”  to a disturbing look at what jealousy can drive people to, terrifying consequences of an abusive relationship & betrayal amongst friends.  Twists & an ending that comes to quickly. 
I enjoyed Jason’s story so very much – Thank you S.L.!  I love his protective nature & her independence.  That together they are “fiery and passionate”.  The cherished friendships & family bonds, so funny, sweet & endearing – leaving you wanting more.  Perhaps a little something for Shelby & Billy…
“…my restless heart finds rest. Comfort. Solace…”
