Trinity Falls #2
Cougar Trouble
A Recently-Discharged Veteran
An Independent Widowed Woman
A Noticeable Age Gap
One Flip of a Card...
What happens when four elderly busybodies decide to play matchmaker in an unexpected way?
When Monica Swanson rented out her cottage to smoking hot Army veteran Jacob Parkerson, she had no idea the trouble she was in for. It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't in her line of sight every time she turned around. But the worst part? Jacob was nearly ten years younger! Just when she's about to throw in the towel and make him move, Monica's mother, along with the other gaggle of seniors who love to hang out at the senior center, decide to step in and take control of the situation. After all, if there's one person who knows what it's like to be a cougar in a small town, it's Monica's mom. With one flip of a card, Monica and Jacob's fates are determined...three dates, three different people. Can Monica and Jacob survive the set-up...while still holding on to their budding new friendship? Or will social norms dictate they each find someone new? Someone their own age?

I laughed my way through this book! I'm looking forward to the third book in the series.
Once again, the senior citizens conspire a plan to play matchmakers. Unknowingly, Monica Swanson, has become their focal point.
Monica, has been widowed for five years, and still doesn't feel she is ready to start dating. Suddenly, she finds herself conned by her mom and three other well meaning women, where she has to go on three dates with three men picked out for her. The catch, if she goes on, these dates, then the women will never ask her to do so again. Too good to pass up.
Jacob Parkerson, back from serving in the military, inquires about the place Monica has for rent. He moves in, and Monica is having a hard time keeping her eyes off the dreamboat that lives in her backyard. A much younger dreamboat, that is!
Hilarity results when Monica has to endure her three picks, meanwhile she learns that her mom and the other ladies have roped Jacob into dating. Her dates are duds, and Jacob's are gorgeous women. Monica has a case of the green-eyed monster.
Despite her growing feelings for Jacob, she can't get over her hang-up on the age difference. If Monica wants to move forward with her life, she's going to have to evaluate why she cares what others think, or forfeit something great!

This book was so FUNNY!! I love the characters, the story line, and I could honestly see myself in this exact situation (as the mom, or possibly one of her friends). Love this new series. I will be getting every book just to keep tabs on this hilarious crew.

Just finally started reading books by Jenna. I like how she writes in first person. Makes the characters seem more real. This one was as good as the first one. Can't wait for Sullivan Sisters #5!!

I think this is one of the best series I've ever read. I love that this geriatric crazies are trying to make their grand children happy. The characters make me laugh so hard I'm in tears throughout the entire book and I can't wait to read more.

Fun, light romance and comedy. This time the hilarious seniors set their sights on interfering in their one of their daughter's love life setting her up on horrendous blind dates and setting a newcomer to town up with equally disastrous blind dates.

I laughed so hard reading this book! Trinity Falls is one of my absolute rom-com favorite series now. The Senior Citizen Posse is back! This time they are determined to match Monica Swanson up. They trick Monica into a deal where they choose three men for her to go on dates with. But Monica isn’t the only one they are setting up with dates. Jacob Parkerson just got out of the military and is renting out Monica’s cottage. With good looks and a rocking body, Monica is feeling the heat. It would be perfect if Jacob were only older instead of ten years younger. So the ladies have decided they will set him up on dates too. Jacob goes along with it even though he wants Monica.
You need to read this book and see who the Posse has set them up with! Monica’s dates were the stuff that keeps you away from blind dates! Jacob’s however...they might have done a good job there. You need to see for yourself so pick up the book and start reading.

Funny!!
The senior citizen possee is back again. This time they are trying to play matchmaker to Monica, a young widow, and Jacob, her 32 year old renter.
Monica lost her husband 5 years ago, he was a firefighter and a beam fell down on him. She was with Travis for 17 years, and they have a son. When her Mom and her pals make a bet with her and if she loses she has to go on 3 dates. But he girls pick the most obnoxious men ever so Monica can literally see what's in front of her; Jacob.
Jacob spent 12 years in the army, moving to Trinity Falls where his former army buddy, Daniel, lives is the best move he ever made. When the seniors set him up with 3 hit women he can only think of the blonde who lives across the way.
But convincing her that she is just a number is the hard part.
A must read!

This was really a great read I really enjoyed this. It was funny and well written and very creative!! I am very impressed with this author’s sensitiveness to women’s feelings about age difference, and even other differences, when it comes to loving someone. Very well done!!

Underwhelming
Underwhelming, dull, poorly written, and in desperate need of a really good professional proofreader and editor. Nothing original, hackneyed, rehashed ideas that lack innovation and creativity. Looked everywhere but couldn't find the comedy...

Cougar Trouble
I thought this was a two book series. But now it looks like it’s been expanded by quite a bit
