The Homemaker by Jewel E. Ann is now live!
A romance inspired by TS “Fortnight”
I was hers, but she was never mine.
Alice Yates is the hired “homemaker” for the Morrisons, an affluent couple in Minneapolis. For Alice, it’s a dream job to dress up like a 1950s housewife and read romance novels to Mr. Morrison before his afternoon nap.
But when the Morrisons’ only daughter returns home for the summer with her fiancé, Alice comes face- to-face with her shattered past—the only threat to her perfect life.
Eight years earlier, vacation rental owner Murphy Paddon had an impeccable vinyl record collection and did the most irresistible thing before kissing Alice, earning him a five-star rating. Their fortnight love affair was life-altering and ended tragically.
Murphy doesn’t know if Alice remembers him or whether he should tell his fiancée that the hired-help living in the guesthouse is the woman who irreparably broke his heart. He needs closure, but will the lingering glances and silent yearning lead to the end or just the beginning?
Grab your copy of The Homemaker, from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Jewel E. Ann, and lose yourself in this forbidden, high-stakes romance.
Review:
What a journey this book takes you on! I could not put this book down because I just needed to know how it was all going to play out, especially for our favorite homemaker. I’ll admit, I went into this book completely sold on the book cover and title alone and I’m so glad I did! It did not end up being anything like I expected and I love that. I should’ve known better to have any expectation of what the story would be because Jewel E Ann always leaves me guessing and on the edge of my seat to see which twists and turns her characters are going to fall down. She is such a talented writer that I know I’m going to love her stories no matter what they end up being about. I do have to mention though, I felt morally convicted throughout this book and that is not always my favorite thing to feel when reading is supposed to be a light hearted, stress relieving hobby for me. There’s a trope in this book that I don’t love and don’t often read because it’s not something I enjoy. However, in the case of these characters, I could really feel the struggle of their emotions and related to that in a way I usually don’t. These characters are so complex and you want to see this story end in a good way for them all but throughout the book are convinced there is no way that could ever happen. It’s a journey, I tell you!! Overall, I am happy with the way the story ended but I still find myself cautiously happy because I’m not sure I like the way we got here. However, this is a story that will stick with me and something I am so glad I read! Thank you for another new incredible story Jewel E Ann and I am SO curious what/who the next book in this series is going to be about!!
