The Candle Palace (Jamison Valley, #6)
BLURB:
Sometimes a single flame can ignite a love that lasts a lifetime.
Milo Phillips knows the meaning of pain. Suffering through the most intense physical agony of his life, he’s confined to a hospital bed to bear it alone. More than once, he wishes he’d died in the explosion that melted and mangled his skin. Darkness consumes him, snuffing all the joy in his life and leaving an empty hole in its place.
But one day, a flicker of light sneaks into his hospital room, driving away some of the hopelessness. For the first time in months, pain isn’t all he feels.
The flicker’s name is Sara Foster, his new nurse. Milo just hopes that Sara can see past his scars. Because underneath, his heart has begun beating again just for her.

REVIEW:
It was so great to jump back in the Jamison Valley world, I miss it so much and all its wonderful characters. If you haven't read the other books in the series this can be read as a stand alone, but if you want the back story about Milo, then please read the first in the series. This is a shorter story than Perry's other books but longer than most novellas.The Candle Palace follow Sara and Milo, Milo is a deputy from Jamison Valley that is now a patient in another town and Sara is his nurse. Milo has been dealt with a life changing injury, he is both mentally and physically scarred, feeling guilty about what happened and angry for feeling weak. Sara is use to patients with Milo's type of injury and emotional state, but there is something about his kind eyes and the way Sara can't stay away.
Overall I loved the sweetness and emotion that these two characters go through. Sara has a tough family history and an even more stressful work environment, along with some inappropriate co workers to deal with. I loved her spirit and how she handles her patients, she loves what she does and loves being able to bring some calm and peace to her patients. Milo is a deputy who is not use to not being able to do things on his own. I loved how sweet he was to Sara but most of all his love for his parents.
In the end this may be a short story but there is so much love and growth for these two special characters. I loved being able to read their story and the journey they went through together afterwards.
