The Demarcation of Jack
By Dana and Bennett Blakely
This was my latest book that I accepted in exchange for an honest review. I have to say, of all the review copies I have received, this one has to be one of my favorites.
The premise of this novel is one that is all too common for many people: Marriage Problems. Jack and Jenna are a young married couple who are experiencing a rough patch in their relationship and decide to go on a trip to Jamaica as a way to try to relight the flame. I love vacation novels (where was this book when I needed some good beach reading a few months ago!) This book would go great on your next vacation or even as just a nice little treat for yourself after a busy work day.
This novel is not your typical contemporary romance. While it is honest and deals with realistic struggles plaguing young married couples, it also gives a serious dose of humor, which was refreshing.
What was most meaningful to me as I read this book was not that it followed the typical arc of a contemporary romance, but that it did so while adding a new a variety that I haven't read yet. Many romances come off sounding similar to all the other romances from the same time-period. This was not so with this novel which I certainly would describe as off-beat.
There is a twist to this story and it is NOT your typical twist. I don't want to tell you what this twist is...why give away the books secrets before you have even started reading? But I will say this...this is a steamy romance novel in which two of the characters know how to keep things interesting all while loving one another genuinely and deeply.
