Description
This summer at Lake Bittersweet is going to be a scorcher… Firefighter Jason Mosedale doesn’t take anything seriously except fires—not even himself. With his lighthearted approach to everything from dating to raising his teenage sister, he loves his life just how it is. But if he wants to catch the attention of gorgeous Kendra, he’s going to have to break out of his comfort zone and prove that he’s more than the charming town heartthrob. Kendra Carter has always been an over-achiever, which is why losing her business and her boyfriend in one swoop was so soul crushing. Now she’s back home in good old Lake Bittersweet, running her father’s restaurant and licking her wounds. If she isn’t the big success everyone expects, who is she? Maybe what she needs is a sexy distraction in the form of a gorgeous fireman--even if she could never take Jason seriously. So what if they’re both on the rebound? As long as they agree it’s just for now, not forever, no one will get hurt. Between toxic exes, heroic rescues, and a teenager’s secret, who has time for romance anyway? But that’s the thing about a rebound…you never know where it’s going to end up.

Fabulous Series
4By hnobbsAnother great visit to Lake Bittersweet. This time we get Kendra’s story. Kendra and Jason were “friends” in high school and Kendra always remembers Jason helping her out one night when she was out with a friend. Now Kendra is back in Lake Bittersweet after a bad breakup and helping her dad out with his restaurant. Jason is getting over a breakup from his on/off again girlfriend who left him and got married after their breakup. Now they are both getting friendly and have friends telling them about them needing a rebound so that they can move on. Jason starts to have feelings for Kendra that go beyond a rebound relationship and he wants more with her. I loved the friendship that grew between them and how they both were there for each other and how they fell in love. I love all of the Lake Bittersweet books, it is a wonderful series. Definitely recommend this book and series overall.When the rebound is the keeper!
5By WyrdfanJason Mosedale and Kendra Carter were friends of sorts in high school, when the fiercely driven Kendra occasionally tutored jokester Jason. Kendra has returned to Lake Bittersweet after a painful betrayal to regroup and give her father a hand running his bar and grill. Jason is recovering from his own broken relationship, and these seeming opposites are finding they may have plenty more in common than they might have thought… Jennifer Bernard’s THE REBOUND is the fifth in her stellar Lake Bittersweet series, and is every bit as warmly readable as the preceding stories. There is a lovely sense of family, both blood and found, and supportive community that runs throughout. It is deeply satisfying to witness Kendra coming to recognize her own strength and trust her own instincts, and Jason is a wonderfully steadfast friend and more who truly has grown into a man worthy of her. I can’t wait to visit Lake Bittersweet again!Love it!
5By PattiA810Kendra and Jason are great together. At first glance they seem like a simple easy match and just for fun, but they compliment each other in way that makes their connection complex and deep rooted. I love that they are professional when required and extremely passionate in private. Jason's easy demeanor smooths out Kendra's rigidity. Kendra's goal oriented demeanor pulls Jason up to want more for himself and achieve his dream job. It takes an extreme event for Kendra to understand what and who is important for her to open her heart and find true happiness. You will be so proud of Holly, Jason's younger sister. You will be watchful over Kendra's dad, Alvin "Redfish" Carter. You will love to hate Kendra's ex-boyfriend/business partner. You will ache for Galen and his hidden crush. You will catch up with some of the other residents of Lake Bittersweet and their highs and lows. It is always entertaining in this vacation town and you won't want to miss a minute of it.Kendra and Jason
5By penny42058In the fifth book in the Lake Bittersweet series, we get Kendra and Jason’s story. They’ve both just got out of relationships, so they agree to see what happens, not expecting it to lead anywhere. Kendra and Jason are opposites, but they complement each other perfectly. I loved getting to catch up with previous characters and I’m really looking forward to reading Galen’s story. Holly, Jason’s sister was quite a character and such a caring friend. Grab your copy and see what happens in this beautifully written story. I received an advance reader copy of this story and this is my voluntary and honest review.The Rebound
5By Jen G FThe Rebound in book 5 in the Lake Bittersweet series by Jennifer Bernard and just love this series and the people! Up Next is Kendra and Jason who were friends in high school, she was his tutor, but then she moved away, and he stayed in Lake Bittersweet . Years later, they reconnect as a rebound from past relationships. Except is it really a rebound? Read on to find where it all ends…family, friends, drama, humor, snark, ex’s causing trouble and more… I voluntarily read an ebook advanced reader copy (ARC) of this book from the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
