Jake Evans has been in the Marine Corps for seventeen years, juggling his conflicting duties to country and his teenage daughter. But when he suffers a serious injury and is sent home, he knows he'll be forced to make decisions he doesn't want to. Battered in spirit and afraid to face the future, he embarks on a cross-country journey before heading home.

He never expected to meet Alyce Marshall, a free-spirited woman on a self-declared adventure: she's running away from home.

In spite of her outward free spirit, Alyce has her own problems to face, including the ever-present shadow of her father and his influence on her growing up. She senses similarities in Jake and decides that it's up to her to teach the tough Marine that life isn't just about rules and regulations. What she doesn't plan on is falling in love with him...and being forced to share her secret.

About the Author

Lisa grew up with an overactive imagination, strong encouragement from her parents, and an insatiable infatuation with the Peanuts gang. That infatuation-along with an impatience she has yet to outgrow-jump-started her love of writing. After all, why should she be forced to wait a whole week to read the stories of her favorite characters when she could create stories for them whenever she wanted? That love of writing continued to grow, along with all those voices in her head, even during her assorted careers: first as a firefighter with the Baltimore County Fire Department, then a very brief (and not very successful) stint at bartending in east Baltimore, and finally as the Director of Retail Operations for a busy Civil War non-profit. Lisa currently lives in Maryland with her husband and two sons, one very spoiled Border Collie, two cats with major attitude, several head of cattle, and entirely too many chickens to count.

Lisa B. Kamps is a USA Today Bestselling Author who writes steamy romance with real-life characters and relatable stories that evoke deep emotion. She likes her men hard, her bed soft, her coffee strong, her whiskey neat, and her wine chilled...and when it comes to sports, hockey is the only thing that matters!

Lisa currently lives in Maryland with her husband and two sons (who are mostly sorta-kinda out of the house), one very spoiled Border Collie, two cats with major attitude, several head of cattle, and entirely too many chickens to count. When she's not busy writing or chasing animals, she's cheering loudly for her favorite hockey team, the Washington Capitals--or going through withdrawal and waiting for October to roll back around!

5.0 out of 5 stars it's not yet my Time to Heal

What are the chances of two lost souls finding each other on a long stretch of road in the middle of no where? This is Jake and Alyce's story. As I think back, there's so much quiet, contemplation, reflection involved with this couple, but then there's a lot of laughter too. Still with the laughter, there's the unknown, the wonder, the lack of sharing, holding it close to the chest, leaving the reader wanting more. More from each character and more from them as a couple. But they needed time. Time to Heal. But to heal from what? As the reader, I finally got my answers!

I don't know how long this title lurked on my kindle, but I ran across it and realized it was time. There will never be enough time for me to heal from the passing of Author Lisa B Kamps. It's been nearly 10 months and I still miss her dropping a soon to be released book in my kindle with a message in my email saying to "read it when I got the chance". Lisa knew I would drop all other books, to read hers and post my review in time for release date. I still miss our private messages as we discussed her books, or discussed seeing each other at another author event. OR when I sat with her at her table and shared first hand why the perusing ladies should buy Lisa's paperbacks! I was so thankful for the invitation to be on her advanced reader review team, and then to meet her and then to become friends. This book was written and published before I knew her. I feel like the title is speaking to me now. It may be Time to Heal, but I'll continue to miss her dearly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy & sad tears, tissues needed
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2019
I just discovered this jem yesterday and read it straight through. You experience the pain, agony and finally acceptance of healing right along with these characters. The angst isn't contrived or unnecessary it just gives all the empathy feels. The reader may not have had the same experiences as the Hero & the Heroine, but if you've experienced grief than you know the stages and by the end of the story I'd gone through a few of them. This book was a wonderful snow day read.

3.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed this book

For the most part, I enjoyed this book. Being a veteran service officer, I am very familiar with people in Jake's situation, and I felt that Lisa did a wonderful job of capturing the struggles that injured veterans deal with upon coming home from combat situations. I gave this book three stars because to me the general plot line seemed a little far fetched. I like books that are realistic. While some portions of her plot were very realistic, other parts fell flat for me. I can't imagine taking an extended road trip with someone you met on the side of the road when all you needed was a ride to the nearest town. I cannot imagine taking someone you met on the side of the highway home to meet your beloved sister and daughter after knowing her for a handful of days. There were just too many parts of the plot that I had a very hard time believing in and connecting with. With this being said, I did enjoy the characters, and Lisa has a very easy style of writing. I did not consider it a waste of my time, and I would recommend it to someone who wants a good sweet love story and doesn't mind some unrealistic moments.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story but annoying heroine
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018
I liked where the story was going and how it ended. I just can't stand Alyce. She's got to the one of the more airheaded main character I've ever read. She doesn't know up from down and doesn't have much going on in that head of hers. Other than that the story was pretty good and Jake had a heart of gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Story, Real Characters
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2016
My review:

In Time to Heal, Ms. Kamps tells the story of two characters who are quite literally “on the road.” Despite their differences in reasoning, the setting remains the same.

Jake Evans is a substantial part of the Marine Corps for seventeen years. Needless to say, he is used to structure. However, that structure takes ghastly turn and sends him home. As such, he is on the road home, wounded in much more than his leg. Meanwhile, free-spirited Alyce Marshall is on the move too. Her journey is a little different and centers on one word.

“Adventure,” she said.

Ultimately, through a near accident, the two meet, dissimilar personalities collide, and a whole new voyage begins.

Kamps does a wonderful job at constructing not only a story and plot which grabs hold of the heartstrings but also relatable characters that readers identify with.

If you love romances and touching stories, I would absolutely recommend this book.
