Great story. Great characters
Just unique with the tragic of a stalker. The attack was very descriptive and disturbing, but realistic.
Awesome book
This book was better than the first book. I am still not feeling any connection between the two mc’s.
Ignoring the whole “Regency/Sustainable community” part, the stalker issue was kind of interesting. The thing that got me was that Nora was SURROUNDED by Navy SEAL’s and she kept info a secret! Really?!! And her friends were complicit.
The last few chapters were the best in the book. There were steamy scenes in the book, but since I didn’t pick up any chemistry between Nora and Clay, they were just something to read. I listened to the audio book and thought the narrator did a good job.
Once again, read and judge for yourself. I discovered that I had picked up the entire series over time, so I will be reading and reviewing each one. It will be interesting to see how things evolve over the course of the series.
Fun to see the development of the 2nd wedding given the 40 day deadline and the events that led to the happy ending.
We first met Clay in ‘A SEAL’s Oath’ when Boone picks him up at the airport. Clay also meets Nora at that time and convinces her not to leave. This book opens a little before Riley and Boone’s wedding.
Something woke Clay to alertness, yet when he looked for the source of the noise there was nothing. Clay begins his day with a jog and is surprised by Walker who insists he draws a straw. Clay is definitely not happy he draws the short one, he wanted lots of time for Nora to get to know him.
At almost the same time in the mansion Nora wakes with the sensation she’s being watched, after investigating a bit she decides it was the house settling and begins to dress for the day. Needing some inspiration she plans to sit by the creek for a while, it’s peaceful and quiet there. At least it was until Clay scares the living daylights out of her.
This is just the beginning of some awkwardness as Clay’s father also shows up at Base Camp.
More little things happen to make Nora even more uneasy and her thoughts go to the stalker she thought she left in Baltimore. The people involved with the show don’t know about it and she wasn’t going to enlighten them either.
When it’s revealed Clay is to be the next to wed, Nora is certain she just can’t marry him. There’s not enough time to get to know him well enough for that.
Very unsure of the outcome of courting Nora, Clay approaches Boone and asks him for a month to convince Nora, but to find a backup bride just in case.
Things escalate very quickly in this book with many disturbing things happening.
I laughed, cried, and held my breath more than once as this story unfolds. I loved every interaction Clay has with Nora. These two are so right for each other.
I am already reading the next in this series. I can’t seem to stop.
Clay believes in love at first sight; Nora doesn’t. What will he have to do to convince her? A sweet romance with a side dish of thriller. X-Rated scenes.
A good addition to the Chance Creek line up. Ms Seton did an excellent job at portraying Nora as someone who has been dealing with a stalker for a while. The fear and insecurity always trying to take over, among other traits.
Didn’t feel like it was realistic
