Porch Lights




By Dorothea Benton Frank

Here is Book 1 in my quest to find a good romance novel.  Jackie is a military nurse with three tours in the Middle East; her husband is a New York firefighter. They have one young son. Jackie makes it back to the states but sadly her husband is killed in the line of duty.

Jackie’s parents are separated.  In fact, her father, Buster walks out on her mother, Annie the day after Jackie’s wedding almost eleven years ago.  Jackie heartbroken by the death of her husband decides to take her son, who is also having trouble dealing with his Dad’s Death, to visit her mother on Sullivan Island. 
 It just so happens that living right next door to Annie is a handsome, mature doctor who just happens to have lost his wife in a boating accident.  Hankies out please.  They meet and of course Jackie wants nothing to do with him.  But stuff happens and maybe she will change her mind.  And did I forget Buster decides to come back to spend time with his grandson.  Will he and Annie get back together?  Will Jackie and her son ever return to resume their life in New York?  Will Jackie finally have a change of heart about the handsome doctor?  Check it out but I can tell you this is not the great romance novel I was looking for.  It is however, an easy and mindless read.  And her writing style is not bad.  My quest continues.
