As you probably know, I'm a big champion of Jess Riley. I love books where I can relate to the characters and the story, and this woman knows how to write 'em that way.
Her latest novel, Mandatory Release is available now in paperback and Kindle (etc.). From the Booklist review:
Drew
is nursing a broken heart (the reasons why are left tantalizingly
undisclosed until the end) and isn’t particularly thrilled with her life
circumstances. She’s moved back home to not only live with her parents
but also start a new job as a special education teacher in the same
facility in which her mother works, the local prison. Graham, a social
worker at the prison, had a big crush on Drew in high school but never
acted on it. When Drew returns to their hometown, he finds himself drawn
to her once more, but something is holding him back—the fact that he’s
in a wheelchair, having been permanently injured in a
car accident. They rekindle their friendship while navigating their own
messy dating lives (Drew’s attracted to a guard who is ten years her
junior; Graham doesn’t tell his blind dates he’s in a wheelchair until
they meet in person), against the fascinating backdrop of a
medium-security prison (Riley taught in a prison herself.) This funny,
realistic look at modern love is perfect for women’s fiction fans.
