Meet Jessica Scott, author of It's Always Been You.
USA Today bestselling author Jessica Scott is a career army officer; mother of two daughters, three cats and three dogs; wife to a career NCO and wrangler of all things stuffed and fluffy. She is a terrible cook and even worse housekeeper, but she's a pretty good shot with her assigned weapon and someone liked some of the stuff she wrote. Somehow, her children are pretty well-adjusted and her husband still loves her, despite burned water and a messy house.
She's written for the New York Times At War Blog, PBS Point of View: Regarding War Blog, and Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. She deployed to Iraq in 2009 as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom/New Dawn and has served as a company commander at Fort Hood, Texas.
She's pursuing a PhD in Sociology in her spare time and most recently, she's been featured as one ofEsquire Magazine's Americans of the Year for 2012.

What’s your favorite comfort read?
She plays by the rules . . .
Captain Ben Teague is many things: a tough soldier, a loyal friend, and a bona fide smart-ass. He doesn't have much tolerance for BS, which is why he's mad as hell when a trusted colleague and mentor is brought up on charges that can't possibly be true. He's even more frustrated with by-the-book lawyer Major Olivia Hale. But there's something simmering beneath her icy reserve-and Ben just can't resist turning up the heat . . .
. . . and he's determined to break them
The only thing riskier than mixing business with pleasure is enjoying it . . . and Olivia can't resist locking horns-and lips-with Ben. He's got more compassion in his little finger than any commander she's ever met, a fact that makes him a better leader than he realizes. But when the case that brought them together awakens demons from Olivia's past, she will have to choose between following orders-or her heart . . .

ReplyDeleteI love Anne of Green Gables so I always go back to it.
My favorite comfort read is anything with a happy ending. I have not read any of the series yet.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of Jane's books, she is a new Author to me. This sounds like a really good read.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a comfort read...at least not one in particular. Sometimes I just want a sweet, easy read tho!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite hero would be Shane!!
Comfort reads . .. I have so many of them. I find that I end up reading Roni Loren's a lot because they are the best stories when I need a comfort read.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any books in this series yet so not sure about a hero! I looks fantastic however.
My favorite comfort read is anything that makes me smile, laugh, and brings me into the story.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite heroes of the stories I have read from your series are Shane and Evan.
My favorite comfort read is the Outlander series. Always been my favorite.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite character from your series is Shane, love him.
While I don't have a particular title that I re-read when I'm in need of "mac and cheese for the mind," my favorite type of comfort read would be along the lines of a rom-com like THE ROSIE PROJECT or suspense that will carry me away and not require a great deal of thought. As to the Rafflecopter question, I've not yet read any of the Coming Home series so do not have a fave hero(ine).
ReplyDeleteI am not at all surprised that you love writing those scenes, Jessica -- you always manage to tear my heart out at least once in each book! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy,
TBQ
I've only read I'll Be Home For Christmas so far and look forward to reading the others. One of my favorite comfort reads is Outlander, can't get enough. :) I don't get to reread many books because I'm always moving on but Outlander is a definite.
