Publisher 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.

Very Entertaining Read
Jason and Kendra’s story is very sweet. Neither character is thinking long term but love gets in the way. They both work for the very love of their town, and in doing so actually achieve their own dreams. Very worthwhile read. By the way, hot firefighter is always fun.
I received an advanced reader copy and shared my honest opinion.
When the rebound is the keeper!
Jason 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!
Fabulous Series
Another 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.
