The Candle Palace (Jamison Valley) Kindle Edition
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.

About the author

I knew there was a lot more to Milo than just the young cop who met up with Maisy once a month to gossip and catch up. He may be overlooked by most of the women of Prescott, but he was perfect for Sara. She deserved to find someone who loved her unconditionally and put her first before anyone or anything else. And she had such a calming influence on Milo. They didn't have a wild story like most of the other couples in the series, they just were, and they were perfect!
I'm sad to see the Jamison Valley series end, but hopefully one day we'll start to see second generation characters start to pop up, and maybe that will give us a chance to visit once again with all of the amazing couples in this series.
This particular book was amazing. I love that there wasn’t too much conflict. Everything was just amazing. It was awesome phenomenal. The only thing I didn’t like was how short it was I wish it was longer, and we got to see more of of their life together in Montana. because although we got glimpses of them throughout the other books, I didn’t get as much as I wanted so I had to take away half a star..
I love you, Devney Perry! You write amazing books, and I am so in love with all of your work. I cannot begin to explain how excited I am to read all of your books.!
When I heard that Devney Perry was writing Milo’s story from the Jamison Valley series, I was ecstatic. See, I struggled with the ending of the Jamison Valley books series. I fell hard for those books. I started The Coppersmith Farmhouse one day and proceeded to binge-read the rest of the series over the course of four days. Yes, binge-read. Perry has this way of writing stories with pieces of heart entwined with her characters. There is a gentleness in her characters, even when they carry big personalities. I’ve read it in all of her books. It’s the gentle finesse of character and story creation that keeps me reading her books.
When I finished the final book (and at the time, the last book) of the series, The Bitter Root Inn, I ended it painfully. I mourned the end of this series because I had fallen in love with the characters of this fictional community. In fact, I’ve already commented to her that I’d like the 2.0 version with the children from the original four books.
Instead, Perry felt called to Milo and Sarah’s story. We find Milo initially in The Coppersmith Farmhouse, and we know that he’s involved in a horrifying accident with Jess, the lead hero of that book. We know he’s burned horribly and is air-vacced to Portland. In a later book, we know he has fallen in love with his nurse, Sara, and they are married, but, until her newest book, The Candle Palace, we don’t know their story. And, now, thanks to the creative imagination of Perry, we do.
I really don’t need a synopsis for this review as, if you’ve read the other books, you get the gist of this story, and quite frankly, I really don’t want to lay it out because The Candle Palace has taken a little bit of my heart. It’s in my soul, as Perry’s other books are. What I’d like to focus on are the emotions I felt as I read this book. I’d like to offer how these emotions make this story an undeniable read, even if you have never read Perry’s other books. Seriously, you could read this extended novella and learn about the writer who is Devney Perry because the stories she writes evoke distinct emotions. So here goes:
Nostalgia. I wrote this first because I felt this heavy feeling of nostalgia as I finished The Bitter Root Inn. It was a strange feeling because I was just finishing the book, and it didn’t seem that I should miss something of it yet. But I did. It weighed in my soul as I said good-bye to characters I had fallen in love with. I’ve not felt this with too many other books (and I’ve read quite a few - just check out my GoodReads profile). Yet, I felt it distinctly at the end of the series. And then again at the end of The Candle Palace. Perry brilliantly recreated this feeling in some final thoughts and words of Sara’s. I didn’t think I’d feel it as I did in her previous book, but it was central to my understanding of this book. In hindsight, I suppose this is a bit of a love letter to her fans through this book or even a goodbye to those characters. I’m not sure. And, in my opinion, it’s what makes it special to me. It’s why it receives the rating I’ve given it, and it’s also why I think everyone should read it, even if you haven’t read any of the other books.
Love. It seems obvious that love would be one of the emotions I felt about this book as it’s a romance. However, the love I’m referring to is an appreciation for the characters of this story. I fully love Milo and Sara. These are regular people. There are no billionaires waiting to sweep the heroine away; there are no mafia kings/queens; there is no royalty. Milo and Sara are just plain blue-collar people who find their soulmate in each other. And I think it’s important to understand the significance of that because it’s a trademark, I think, of Perry’s writing. She writes regular folk who live out their somewhat regular stories on the page and fall in love with the person he/she is destined for. And Milo and Sara are no different. To Sara, Milo is extraordinary (and he thinks the same of Sara). However, as it seems, to most of the other characters, they are unremarkable. They are simply fated for each other, so they see the beauty in each other. That’s the charm of this story. It’s why love is front and center in talking about these characters. It’s real, and it connects the reader into Perry’s story. Easily.
Angst. While Milo and Sara are easy characters, there are characters in this story who provide the angst, a trademark of a Perry story. This isn’t rom-com, and it isn’t heavy angst. But there is something about this story that pulls at your soul. Sara’s mother can’t love Sara in the way that she needs to be loved, and this creates complications. Once again, it also connects readers to this reality. Many of us have felt this in our lives. Yet, Perry gives Sara someone who loves her enough that the angst is only temporary. There is also a situation of sexual harassment in this romance. I don’t want to reveal anything more about it, but it too adds layers to a seemingly simple book. Above all that is the connotation of the name the Candle Palace. I will absolutely not reveal its significance here. Just understand that it’s another layer to Sara and Milo’s book.
If this review reads like a profession of love to Devney Perry’s intelligence as a writer, well, then so be it. I was ecstatic to read this book because I knew she would offer us the meaning of love through Milo and Sara’s story. Unremarkable, everyday people, soul-deep love, and loving beyond the outside describe the power behind Devney Perry’s The Candle Palace. If you love Devney Perry, you will be forever grateful for this story. If you haven’t read her books, then you’re missing out on immaculate story-telling.

The Candle Palace is no different. When Devney said she was writing another story in the Jamison Valley Series, I couldn’t stop smiling for days, the series that started my love affair with her writing was continuing. Then when she announced who’s story it was going to be, I was ecstatic, if anyone deserved their HEA it was Milo, and oh my goodness what a fantastic job she did giving it to him.
For fans of Devney Perry you will remember Milo from her very first book, The Coppersmith Farmhouse, Milo was the loose lipped Deputy with a heart of gold, who got injured when the meth house they were investigating blew up! Skip ahead a few books to The Lucky Heart and we see Milo again, only he’s fully healed and back in the Jamison Valley with Sara, the nurse who looked after him whilst he was in the burns unit in Spokane. It was so great to see him happy and healthy, but I always wondered about their story, how did the shy deputy manage to win the heart of his beautiful nurse, well I won’t give much away, but as it did in TCSFH, Milo’s sweetness, quiet strength and kind personality shone through and won Sara over along with the beauty of his heart, and though they had a lot of bumps and trauma along the way, in the end you are left with a timeless love story of two people who truly couldn’t do better than the other and shows even after years of marriage, ups and downs aplenty along with arguments that mean so much at the time, but are soon forgotten, their love is still as strong and deep as when they first met, and they will continue fighting for what they have together.
As with everything Devney does, she has the Midas touch, or the Midas keyboard I should say, because everything she writes is pure gold. Another 5* read, I would highly recommend.
This one was a short read that wrapped up a memorable series! I'll miss this world and its characters!
