Website | Facebook | Twitter | Pinterest My Review: If you are looking for a book to read that is full of heart and a story that will completely draw you in and hold you captive, then "Jilted" is for you!  However, I would highly recommend you read the first two books in the series first just because they are THAT good and the characters will become even more so real to you.  Varina is a talented writer as she has the ability to create characters and storylines that are so easy to relate to and her descriptions are so detailed and written in a way that I became a part of the story.  Lynda has struggled with heartache, depression and thoughts of just feeling trapped, yet not willing to actually leave her hometown and start over.  Described as a half-empty girl, she is consumed with negativity and tired of pretending.  However, Lynda has determined that she is going to try and not hide within herself and move on with her life.  This book portrays life in a small town and how things can be both difficult and wonderful when everyone knows each other and their pasts.  This is an emotional read and I found myself tearing up at times and smiling at other times.  I highly recommend the Mended Heart series for a hopeful and inspiring read that will completely captivate you.
