Synopsis:
After eight years in prison, twenty-four year old Jordan Kane is the man everyone loves to hate.
Forced to return to his hometown while on parole, Jordan soon learns that this small town hasn't changed since he was carted off to juvie all those years ago. He is the local pariah, shunned by everyone, including his own parents. But their hatred of him doesn't even come close to the loathing he feels every time he looks in the mirror.
Working odd jobs for the preacher lady, Jordan bides his time before he can leave this backwards town. But can distance erase the memories that haunt him? Trapped in the prison of his own mind Jordan wonders if the pain of living will ever subside?
Torrey Delaney is new in town and certainly doesn't behave in a way the locals believe a preacher’s daughter should. Her reputation for casual hook-ups and meaningless sex is the talk of the town. Add that to her budding friendship with the hardened ex-con handyman, and the good Reverend is less than thrilled with her estranged daughter’s path.
As friendship forms, is it possible for two damaged people who are afraid to love take their relationship to the next level? Can Torrey live with Jordan’s demons, and can Jordan break through Torrey's walls? With the disapproval of a small town weighing heavily on them, will they find their place in the world? Can they struggle against the odds, or will their world be viciously shattered?
Is love a life sentence?

Review:
Wow, Jane has done it again!! She has such an amazing way with words that she makes you feel every
single emotion that the characters are going through. I was totally drawn in and Couldn't put it down.
Lifers is the story of Torrey and Jordan, Torrey is the daughter of the towns preacher, She hasn't seen her mum in years but moves to live with her after having a problem with her old boss she just needed to get out of town. She is a real firecracker, she is headstrong and most definitely not afraid to say what's on her mind
Jordan bless him god I totally felt and fell for him. After an accident that happened eight years ago he is spending the end of his sentence on probation so he's back in town. However the town they live in is the kind of place where no one forgets anything and the people in town are still making him suffer and won't let him forget what happened even his parents.
No one Wants anything To do with Jordan but Torrey can see past what's happened to him as can see what an amazing, caring and beautiful person he is inside, So what starts out as a friendship soon blossoms into a relationship but can love and a HEA happen??
This book absolutely blew me away I can't recommend it enough.
I was given an ARC in return for an honest review
