When Life Happened, an all-new standalone romance from

Jewel E. Ann is available now!

Parker Cruse despises cheaters. It might have something to do with her boyfriend sleeping with her twin sister.

After a wedding day prank involving a strong laxative, that ends the already severed relationship between the twins, Parker decides to grow up and act twenty-six.

Step One: Move out of her parents’ house.

Step Two: Find a job.

Opportunity strikes when she meets her new neighbor, Gus Westman. He’s an electrician with Iowa farm-boy values and a gift for saying her name like it’s a dirty word.

He also has a wife.

Sabrina Westman, head of a successful engineering firm, hires Parker as her personal assistant. Driven to be the best assistant ever, Parker vows to stay focused, walk the dog, go to the dry cleaners, and not kiss Gus—again.

Step Three: Don’t judge.

Step Four: Remember— when life happens, it does it in a heartbeat.

"Today is my favorite day." because I just finished this beautiful book. It has been a while since I have had a 5-star story grace my life. This story was just perfection. The pages flew by as I fell in to Parker's life. I fell in love with her, I fell in love with Gus, I fell...when life happened. "Not all truths set you free and not all lies are deception." Love. Lust. Deception. Redemption. You name it; happy, mad, sad and yes even glad. I felt every emotion. "A ballad that makes you feel like you're the entire reason for another's existence." This story did play out like a ballad. The story, the build up, and how you feel every time you hear it. You will go right back to a place in time that will hold special meaning to you forever. I feel that I will always remember Parker's journey and the moment it was a part of my life. "You're the ballad of my life." Beautifully written story.

ARC provided for an honest review.

Jewel is a free-spirited romance junkie with a quirky sense of humor.

With 10 years of flossing lectures under her belt, she took early retirement from her dental hygiene career to stay home with her three awesome boys and manage the family business.

After her best friend of nearly 30 years suggested a few books from the Contemporary Romance genre, Jewel was hooked. Devouring two and three books a week but still craving more, she decided to practice sustainable reading, AKA writing.

When she’s not donning her cape and saving the planet one tree at a time, she enjoys yoga with friends, good food with family, rock climbing with her kids, watching How I Met Your Mother reruns, and of course…heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, panty-scorching novels.
