Kasey by Jennifer Hanks - Review

Kasey by Jennifer Hanks 

Introducing an exciting new series filled with suspense, sacrifice, family, and most of all, the healing power of love. Welcome to the Family…

One. Defining. Moment.

Kasey Moore is happy to be home. Moving to New Hope as a teenager hadn’t been easy, but once she settled in, she couldn’t imagine herself living anywhere else. After four years in college, she’s finally back to living in the town she loves and working her dream job as a teacher at the Elementary School.

For Kasey, her life couldn’t be more perfect.

Until a school assembly, an arrogant man, and a hot encounter in a closet shakes up everything Kasey thinks she wants.

Ten years as a Navy SEAL and Jackson Dimarco is coming home.

Ten years of rigid schedules, almost unreachable expectations, and being a part of something bigger than himself has changed him. Coming home, trying to find himself, the last thing Jax wants to do is talk to an auditorium full of school kids about his time in the military, but when his brother signs him up that’s exactly what he ends up doing.

And he meets someone who challenges him in a way nobody has in a very long time. He meets someone who inspires him to become more than who he’s settled for. He meets someone who makes him feel alive again.

It’s just a shame she doesn’t feel the same way.

But Jackson Dimarco has always loved a challenge and Kasey Moore is the biggest incentive he’s ever had to win.

This is a novella in The Dimarco Series. Can be read as a standalone and at any point in the series. However, if new to the series, I'd recommend reading this novella before the first book in the series, Lucy.

Rating 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

During the DiMarco series, Jennifer Hanks has given us some snippets of Jax and Kasey but the series begins with their wedding. So what we know of them is through the eyes of the story teller. 

Kasey is a prequel, a teaser and a reminiscent novella all in one. 

The novella Kasey goes back and tells the story of Jax and Kasey and their love story. Because it's a novella, it's quick. There isn't as much angst and drama like the other books have. 

However, for those of us that have read the other books in the series, there are some possible teasers for stories that haven't been told. 

My opinion of Jax before reading Kasey is that he's ultra bossy, holds grudges like a five year old, yet he is loyal to his family. Jax became persona non grata because of one grudge he would not let go of (read Gianna if you haven't) for a little while. 

I loved the insight to his behavior, his character and struggles.

I also loved that I got to see more of Kasey and who she is as an individual. She is like a little kitten. Sweet until backed into a corner. She would be someone you would want as a friend and in your corner. 

Besides the stories told, my other favorite part of the series are the covers. They are absolutely gorgeous and I look forward to seeing the covers for each release to get a hint at what this person will be like. 

This is one of my favorite series and it is ive I always try to suggest to people looking for something to read.
