I was given the opportunity to read one of Jessie Evans’ novels, and I liked it so much that I decided I just had to read another one.  Well, I am really glad I did.  I very much enjoy Ms. Evans' writing style as well as the characters and world she creates in her books.  It didn't take me long to be absorbed in their lives and start pulling for them, hoping their story would end with a happily ever after.Four years ago, Mason Stewart made the biggest mistake of his life: he shattered the heart of the only woman he has ever loved. Having taken great strides to get his head on straight, he has made his way through medical school and has now decided to return home to persuade her to give him a second chance.  Lark March has spent the last four years trying to forget Mason Stewart, telling herself she is completely over him. But he then returns home unexpectedly showing up at a wedding reception Lark is catering to convince her to give him another chance.  Seeing him again, Lark soon realizes that Mason is the only man she has ever truly loved.  But with all her heart has been through, can she ever forgive him and can their love overcome the past and survive?Betting on You is a lovely story which shows us sometimes in life we must learn to forgive and trust, looking beyond past circumstances which make it difficult for us to do. Despite the prior hurt, there continues to be an undeniable connection and chemistry between these two characters and as they begin to spend time together again endeavoring to overcome broken promises of the past, they both rediscover the deep connection they have always had, realizing they truly and deeply know each other better than anyone else ever will.  But will that be enough to forget the prior hurt and pain caused by the mistakes made long ago?I will continue to watch for more novels from Ms. Evans.  She has definitely earned a place on my list of “must read” authors.
