Product Description
From Amazon.com
Rebecca Hill is a preacher's daughter and Jackson Rule is a convicted killer. But Rebecca sees something in the handsome, stoic man that reassures her, and she hires him to work in her greenhouse, much to the dismay of her father. For Jackson, the job Rebecca offers him is an opportunity for honest work and a decent life. He's deeply attracted to Rebecca, but he's a man not only molded by years in prison, but scarred to his soul by the violence of his childhood. Rebecca struggles to come to terms with her growing feelings for Jackson and his reluctance to see a future for them. When defending Jackson causes a rift with her father, she refuses to back down. And it isn't until tragedy strikes a beloved friend that Jackson teaches the preacher an important lesson about drawing conclusions from outward appearances and past mistakes. Still, a future for Rebecca and Jackson seems doubtful until a heroic act sets in motion events that change forever how the world views Jackson Rule. Dinah McCall's book is intensely emotional, with a strong plot and vivid characterizations. It's easy to see why this skillful contemporary received the prestigious Janet Dailey Award in 1996. --Lois Faye Dyer
Product Description
For powerful emotion and unforgettable romance Sharon Sala can't be beat. This beautifully repackaged classic is sure to delight her long-time fans and attract new ones!
Jackson Rule had spent nearly half his life behind bars for murder. Now he was starting over--or trying to. Once he laid hungry eyes on his new employer, though, his resolve to lead a simple solitary life deserted him, replaced by yearnings for fierce, forbidden passion.
Preacher's daughter Rebecca Hill was raised to give folks the benefit of the doubt--though maybe this time she'd taken charity a bit too far. True Jackson Rule had paid his debt to society, and was a hard, honest worker. What threatened to undo her was the sheer burning desire she felt in his presence, and the sinking feeling that her heart would be his captive forever.

A VERY GOOD READ!!!!!,
By
This review is from: Jackson Rule (Mass Market Paperback)
This is Sharon Sala at her best, we laugh alittle, but we cry alot.Jackson Rule has been released from prison. He admitted he killed his father. Now he has to build a life. He was 16 when he was sent to prison. No one wants to trust a convicted killer. Rebecca Hill is a preacher's daughter. Jackson saves her life and winds up working for her at her nursery. To the dismay of her friends and father. But whatever a man is will come out, and Rebecca finds all the quiet strength and goodness in Jackson. Jackson has many secrets and one by one they are revealed. This is one of Sharon Sala's best as far as I am concerned. Her books always give me hope for man's humanity.

Ex-con and preacher's daughter must fight prejudice,
By pontmarie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jackson Rule (Mass Market Paperback)
Andrew Jackson Rule leaves Angola penitentiary after spending half his life there for killing his abusive father. He finds that the world is not too kind to ex-cons, except in the form of Rebecca Hill, a preacher's daughter who runs a nursery, the only person who'll give him a job. Together, they fight everyone else's prejudice, including her father's. Jackson must also deal with his sister, who was severely abused by their father, and the revelation of Jackson's sacrifice is a very touching one. This is a wonderful book. Jackson is a bit too nice at times, but you can feel his pain. My favorite book by Sharon Sala/Dinah McCall.

Unbelievable Sacrifice and Love...Highly Recommended,
By Tracy Talley "Book Addict" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jackson Rule (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of those rare finds. You read it and you are so caught up in the story that you lose track of time and place. A story that takes you right into the heart of what the writer was envisioning. Usually I am sadly not a big fan of this author's work, but this book blows her others far out of the water!
(I won't go into the details of what the book was about since everyone else has, so from here on my reviews will reflect my thoughts on the book itself because frankly that is what I look for in reviews myself.) The touching and sometimes emotional story between the character of Jackson and the woman who saves him Rebecca is completely unlike any other. Jackson is so real and so hurt and 'damaged' you as the reader find yourself wishing you could crawl inside the story and help. His secret is so overwhelming and charged with emotion, it's hard to imagine he would keep it. Rebecca is the epitome of what a heroine should be. She is very good-hearted and strong. She sees the good in him even though no one else does and she stands by him with conviction and hires him on at her greenhouse even with the 15 year prison sentence in his past. She sees him for who he really is. I was touched and in awe of Jackson. The love between him and the heroine is very real and seems almost destined. As if they do exist and are out there somewhere. But the most awe inspiring moment is when his deep and dark secret is revealed to her...you will cry. Get the tissues, seriously, you will need them.

Eh...,
By M. I. "krushedvelvet" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jackson Rule (Mass Market Paperback)
Jackson Rule is not only the name of this book, but also the name of the male lead. The story begins on a momentous day in Jacksons life...he has just been released from serving a 15 year prison sentence. We get to look in as Jackson little by little begins to adjust to his new freedom. It is touching to see how appreciative he is of small things, and I found myself feeling frustrated right along with him as he goes in search for work, but is turned down again and again because of his past. Then, he crosses paths with Rebecca Hill, the owner of her own landscaping business...and she decides to take a chance on him and give Jackson a job...and so the romance begins.
Jackson Rule is just the sort of story that I would normally swoon over. A big, tough, emotionally tortured and misunderstood man is finally comforted and given the love he so desperately desires by a woman that he is completely shocked will give him the time of day. I just loooove the idea of it, but here, it just didnt work for me... There were a few things that bothered me about this story...first, while I felt that Jackson was well developed, I was left feeling unsatisfied with Rebecca...I wanted more from her. I didnt feel like I got to know her well enough. As for Jackson, I liked him. He was well written, but the trouble I had with him was that he was TOO good. I mean, no one is that good...and just the fact that he happened to be in the right place at the right time to save others over and over...well, it just didnt ring true IMO. The biggest nit pick I had with this story, however, was not about the characters or plot, but the writing...so saccharine! There were moments when I would cringe...whether it was something one of the characters said or thought,it all came across as too cloyingly sweet. This authors writing style was just not for me. I have, however, heard a lot of great stuff about this story. A lot of other readers love it. I cant say Jackson Rule was a bad book, but this is not an author that I see myself reading in the future. |
