Synopsis
She has everything she ever wanted, but it could never compare to what she lost...
Quinn McClain’s life as an equine veterinarian on the East Coast is everything she dreamed it would be: all-consuming and sexy as hell. Between her high-profile patients and steady boyfriend, she maintains a laser focus on the now. Not the then. Not on a beautifully tragic, life altering past that she tries to forget ever happened.
When Quinn’s dad suffers a serious accident, she rushes back to the small town where she grew up and collides with her first-love-turned-arch-nemesis, Will Deremer. Now a bestselling author, he is exactly as she remembers: charming, soulful, and irritatingly attractive.
Once Quinn is in proximity to Will’s gravity, feelings that she thought were dead and buried begin to resurface, forcing her to ask questions that she may not want answered. When she uncovers the secret that tore them apart, she navigates a path of forgiveness, concluding that no longer hating someone is not the same as falling in love again. But in Will’s case, could it be one and the same?
Book Review: The Something More by HK Jacobs
HK Jacobs's modern romance novel, The Something More, explores themes of love, forgiveness, and human development. After her father has a terrible accident, Quinn McClain, an East Coast horse veterinarian, is forced to return to her birthplace of Linzberg, Texas. She is forced to face her past on this homecoming, including her first love, Will Deremer, who is now a great author and lives in the same town.
Readers can feel the depth of Quinn and Will's bond through Jacobs' gripping story, which skilfully blends the past and present. There is an obvious connection between the main characters, and their encounters are tense and full of unresolved feelings. The plot is enhanced by supporting characters that offer warmth and humour, such as Quinn's father and best buddy Sid.
The detailed details used to depict the small-town setting of Linzberg create an engrossing background that heightens the story's emotional impact. The spirit of small-town life, where people know one another and personal histories converge in surprising ways, is eloquently captured by Jacobs. The quaint settings—from the large ranches to the intimate diners—bring cosiness and genuineness, giving readers the impression that they may enter Linzberg. Beyond the scene, Jacobs deftly incorporates Quinn's work as an equine veterinarian, highlighting her strong affinity for animals and the countryside. Her commitment to her work not only exemplifies the compassion and tenacity of her character, but it also offers readers a singular perspective on the struggles and victories of living in a tight-knit community.These components work in concert to weave a complex fabric that firmly establishes the narrative in a charming and sympathetic setting.
With seven ratings and two reviews, the book has a 4.29-star rating on Goodreads, reflecting the favourable feedback it has received from users. According to one reviewer, "Quinn and Will have a lot of chemistry, and the tension could be severed with a knife." Jacobs has mastered the subtleties and complexities of romantic relationships.
All things considered, The Something More delves deeply into the intricacies of rekindling a previous romance and second chances. For lovers of modern romance, Jacobs' captivating prose and well realised characters make this book an enjoyable read.
You can get The Something More on a number of websites, such as Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
