Julie and Jase have a second chance at their failed relationship after Julie has returned home 9 years later, battered, beaten and with a little girl...Jase's little girl. Jase never knew he had a child. All he knew was a he screwed Julie's best friend 9 years ago, and she left him. So over the last 9 years Julie has been the domestic slave for her abusive husband Dean, and momma to Jenny, while Jase has lived it up as your town drunk and man whore. Julie is finally able to escape the abuse, and finds her way back to Tennessee to her family, and Jase. Jase has a bad boy reputation, that he tries to move past once he gets the second chance with his family, especially now that he has Jenny in his life. He never knew the fulfillment he would have in his heart, until he laid eyes on his sweet pea Jenny.But the no contact order Julie has against Dean, or the divorce papers isn't enough to keep the raging lunatic from trying to harm her, and shatter her little family that she is trying so hard to put back together with Jase. Trouble comes to town, but not before Jase has the chance to fight for what is rightfully his.I liked this story, but I had such a hard time connecting with the characters. Usually, when I feel connected with the characters, I don't want to put the book down to even go pee, I just want to hold onto them each for as long as I can. The characters just didn't show deep enough emotions for me. The story line itself, was magnificent. Julie and Jase surely had a Whiskey Lullaby love, but were fortunate enough to break the walls of infidelity and came back together as one.
