Couldn't decide between 4 or 5 stars. Sharon Sala doesn't disappoint. This is a solid enjoyable romance. There were times that you thought you knew what was going to happen. SS led you right up to a precipice and just when you thought you were going over in the same old way, she turned it around and went somewhere else. For example At the beginning the hero Lane, a US marshal, is escorting some criminals to jail when their plane crashes. He has a handcuff on his wrist but the criminal is unhappily not attached to the other cuff. Lane ends up almost drowning in a river and is rescued by the heroine Toni. She drags him back to her house and he's all beat up and concussed. Just when you think he's going to have amnesia and she'd going to think he's a criminal (come on wasn't that exactly what you were thinking was going to happen?)just then he doesn't in fact get amnesia and she only thinks for like 2 seconds that he's a bad guy.

Loved how Lane was a giant sized hero. You don't get a lot of 6'6" heroes. She was tall too and had a bad self image being the youngest of 8 and the only girl. Her brothers had teased her and taken her for granted. She was almost 30 and just wanted a baby. If you don't care for stories about women with baby hunger, this might not be for you. I empathized with her as I remember being in the exact same spot when I was 30. I thought it was realistic in that and in the fact that it is hard for quiet women who are okay looking but not gorgeous to find the right guy since many men seem to go first for the flashy looking girls.

The writing was on the flowery side but it didn't approach purple prosy for me. The writing style was consistent throughout the book. The plot made sense and the story flowed well. ( )
