He leaves his homeland to protect his family. She flees her hometown to abandon hers.

At a remote mountaintop retreat, an optimistic triple amputee British Special Forces veteran meets a pessimistic American beauty in the valleys of their lives.

A Christian romance with suspense, Reach for Me is book 2 in USA Today bestselling author Jan Thompson’s Vacation Sweethearts collection of clean and wholesome, sweet and inspirational Christian vacation romance novels set in some of her favorite vacation places. Travel with these Savannah residents to the coast and to the mountains, and cheer them on as they celebrate the immeasurable grace and undeserved mercy of God through Jesus Christ. These novels are a spin-off of Jan’s Savannah Sweethearts series.

In his valley of determination…

Highly decorated for his heroism in fighting terrorism on behalf of his grateful nation, Keenan has sacrificed enough for his country. Yet, his enemies are going after him and his former team members as an act of personal vengeance. To protect his family, Keenan leads a trail away from Britain. Off the grid, he is incognito at a remote resort in the mountains of Tennessee. While waiting for his storm to pass, he meets an American girl who is hiding for a different reason in the same misty mountains.



In her valley of discouragement…

Bearing the burden of a mistake-riddled life, prodigal adopted daughter Phoebe Pace has nowhere else to go. She finds solace in the Great Smoky Mountains, living in quiet regret at Mendenhall Retreat while holding down a job at the local funeral home. Along comes the new neighbor, encroaching into her personal space. Why is he so friendly toward her? So delightful to be with? So charming? So inquisitive…?



Danger finds them on the mountaintop…

Keenan is the first person in a long time to make Phoebe consider the possibility of a new chapter in her love life. However, just when she begins to think about opening up her heart to him, the ex-soldier’s unfinished business pulls her into a situation she has never experienced before, and danger comes knocking…on the wrong door.


If you enjoy this novel, you might also like the rest of the Vacation Sweethearts series and Jan Thompson’s other books set in the same story world.

Jan’s books are for readers who enjoy stories of faith, family, and friends.

Raised on a tropical island in the Eastern Hemisphere, Jan now lives and writes in the Western Hemisphere. Her international background gives her a unique multicultural and multiracial perspective to her novels and books. The island has never left her, and she reminisces about beach life in her beach romance novels.

When Jan is not busy writing small-town stories, she writes big-city romantic suspense and international technothrillers, a nod to her previous career in computer science. She weaves technology with human interests, reflecting the current and future digital world. And romance. There’s always romance.

The second in the series. Very well written romance novel. Somewhat predictable but enjoyable with some twists. The characters are very real and make it hard to see that the book has ended before you wanted it to. I would read more by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review: Reach for Me
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2017

`Reach for Me` is a contemporary mystery/suspense novel written by author Jan Thompson. It is the second novel in the Vacation Sweethearts series. I prefer the first in the series over this one.

This novel begins with good characters and beautiful writing like most Christian contemporary novels. Then there is a slight twist into suspense. Some places had me on my toes as I read and I wish there had been more suspense. However, in several places, I became engaged and didn't want to put the novel down.

I read the Kindle version and found several literary errors toward the end of this version. Examples are: in chapter 31 the word he was used instead of his, and, in the same chapter, future was used instead of further. However, having said that, I recommend this book to fans of contemporary novels. It would make a great weekend read. I like that there were scripture verses quoted throughout the novel.

Loved Keenan and Phoebe story. It was exciting and sweet both at the same time. Both came from different backgrounds broken by their past. But with God coming into their lives and the love that grew between them . Their lives were forever changed. Phoebe was able to reconcile with her past. Phoebe was the one to bring healing to Keenan. Lamar and Esperanza were great friends to have. So sorry that Lamar died. Espy I hope will find love again. Will read more in the series.

I enjoyed reading this tender story. I had wished for closure about the evil chasing the main character but sometimes there is no closure in life. Still it is well written.

Great reading. I felt that it ended too soon. We can face the past with God's help and strength. The future is only secure in Christ. I understand the enemy is always around us but he doesn't always win. I guess I don't like cliff hangers.
