This was an OK book. It's a typical romance novel- nothing really stood out for me. The characters, the plot and the setting were all cookie cutter.

DNF. Weird (outdated) concept.

an above average, good steamy read. took about 3 hours..great chemistry.

Keri Merritt desperately needs her long-overdue vacation, preferably as far as she can get from anyone with a badge, given her over-protective law enforcement family. When she finds something in the back of her truck she definitely didn’t pack, she loses all hope of a peaceful break from reality.

Nick Lamanto is in trouble. He’s tracked the mastermind of a gunrunning operation from Florida to Tennessee, only to wind up with an attempted murder warrant hanging over his head, a bullet in his arm and no one he can trust.

Lucky for Nick, Keri’s healing instinct kicks in. Using her training as a trauma nurse, Keri stitches him up and is convinced to keep him hidden As the threads of his investigation connect with unanswered questions about Keri’s past, the couple realize that they aren't safe in her small Tennessee town, but escaping won't be easy.

After a slow start, the story picks up steam and charges forward. Lots of action, steamy romance and plot twists hold the reader's attention to the very end.½

Did he marry her for the land, revenge or will it be love? Faced with difficult circumstances 2 people fight to find happiness sometimes even against themselves.

Susan married Shane as he blackmailed her into marriage. For 2 years she suffered as it was a delusional marriage. After Shane had passed away he still haunted her from the grave. In his will he said his land could not go to his family. Susan packed up her things into the moving van and was about to leave with a rider came down the road. She knew who it was, Luke, Shane's older cousin. After discussing again why she could not sell the land to him they went up to the barn to say goodbye to the horses she worked with. Luke offered a new solution to her problem. They would get married, the land could stay in the hands if the family and they could start their own family.

Three years before Shane came along Luke and Susan had a relationship and started getting close. Her parents passed away and Luke was there to help her along with her grief. Luke was hurt when Susan married Shane and couldn't understand why. Can Susan tell him the truth and their marriage survive?

I enjoyed reading the story Luke trying to be rough as his heart was broken so long ago by the same woman he wants to marry. Susan i her weak state and didn't know what to do. Luke and Susan were great together after everything came out and or worked out. Yes, some things were repetitive, but overall for me it did not take from the story it was a nice read. The setting in Texas was about par for the course. The family working together ( some of the family ) was a nice change.

Review to post 12/19

The premise of this book is that events of the past cause a huge rift between the main characters in the present. The unnamed conflict is huge and insurmountable. As the book progresses we discovered the entire history that caused the problems. At the end - miraculously - all the past is overcome and everything is just fine. I felt a bit let down overall. The book had lots of good bits, and was worth a read, but is definitely not a keeper.
