This story is set in the small country town of Patience, Tennessee.  A small-knit community where there isn't an unfamiliar face. Being raised in a small country town in Maine, I totally fell in love with the quaint little town and its family oriented atmosphere.  The secondary characters were well written and very memorable in my opinion.Ms. Simpkins gave us one of the hottest heroes that I have read in a long time. I will admit to having an affinity for a man in a kilt, but jocks are an extremely close second! I adored everything about Jake Lawrence. This author even made him look hot when he was acting like a jackass. However, it was his big heart that endeared me to his character, and that belonged wholly to Anna.  *Insert Big Sigh*What I loved most about Anna Kelly, despite the fact that she was truly vulnerable for issues in the past, she strived to not only be a survivor, but an overcomer!  The author's ability to write a strong heroine, had me immediately rooting for her corner (except during the Yankees game), and there were so many heartfelt moments, that it felt as though I was experiencing all of Anna'a hurts from the past and present firsthand.My favorite scene was her going to watch him play softball at the Patience Thursday Night softball game. I have always wanted to be one of "those" girls who cheered on her man from the stands. I found myself devouring page after page well through the night.  If you love your baseball players sexy and romantic, and your heroines headstrong and passionate then should not miss out on Forgiving Patience by Jennifer Simpkins
