From New York Times and USA Today bestselling romance author Jean Oram…
One shattered war hero. One hippie. Two very unlikely lovers.
Evander de la Fosse believes he’s only good for one thing: stopping bullets meant for others. But as war-torn hero Evander shadows single mother Daphne Summer he finds himself wishing for the one thing war took from him—a life worth living. Daphne, with her … from him—a life worth living. Daphne, with her bright and upbeat disposition, possesses a pull on him he can’t deny.
Believing in the power of love and destiny, Daphne figures fate must have a wicked streak for sending her polar opposite—Evander, a well-armed bodyguard—into her life. She doesn’t need him, nor does she want him or his military ways seeping into her world. She has a life to live, a daughter to raise, and a family cottage to save in less than two weeks. The last thing she needs is to get involved with another Mr. Wrong. But the steely-eyed, former military hunk refuses to leave her side after a confrontation with the enemy ends in threats.
Daphne, determined not to add fuel to the fight, tries to convince Evander to back down. But Evander knows Daphne needs him—needs him for more than just protection. Will the two find a way to see eye-to-eye as well as heart-to-heart before the enemy takes them down?

Wonderful story! Great series! You will be completely entertained by this story!
Evander and Daphne’s tale is heartwarming and cute. I liked all the characters but I really loved Evander. He’s this big, strong man who can be very intimidating but also gentle and loving. The way Evander engaged with Tigger and made her feel special just melted my heart. I loved watching their bond grow as Evander took on more of a fatherly type role.
I adored Evander, Daphne and Tigger’s story.
Could a mother’s love cause dangerous consequences? The Summer Sisters are back to stir up some trouble. In the most delightful way. Love and Danger has all the heart of the previous novels, but Daphne’s story has an undercurrent of danger. Daphne is a single mother with a tender heart and a fierce determination. When the choices of her past, cast a cloud on her present, she’ll stop at nothing to make things right. Even risking her own safety and exposing her beautiful heart. Evander is her biggest frustration and her greatest temptation. He trusts no one. Can she convince the wounded warrior to take a chance on her?
Give me a military hero every time and I am lost in the story. I am so glad this man found Daphne. She is one of my favorites of the sisters trying to keep their cabin on Nymph Island, as well as her spunky, little daughter, Tigger. Evander is hired to be Daphne’s bodyguard while their is a threat on the family. Development is coming around the island threatening the environment, and being headed by Tigger’s father, and as a result Daphne’s emotions are high. She feels she can deal with everything on her own, keep her positivity and find a happy medium. But Evander is in her way, constantly following her, carrying a gun and sticking himself to her hip. Will these two ever see eye to eye? I loved their story. Opposite attract, and these two seem like opposites but find their common ground. Love Evander’s mom, what a sweetheart and Evander with Tigger is just heart melting. Give us more of this family and the magic of Nymph Island where love blooms!
Vanessa Moyen is the voice of the Summer Sisters and I am so glad she has continued the narration. She is consistent with her voices between books which for me is such a plus! She voices Daphne with that over the top excitement to help get her point across and the next breath has Tigger and her unending energy and attitude. Love it and look forward to the next in the series.
“I’m Not Perfect–I’m A Single Mother”
If you’ve been following this series you know that four sisters are trying to save the family heritage, a 100+ year old cottage, and Nymph Island, on which it sits. Each has agreed to try to come up with 1/4 of the back taxes owed and their money making schemes (and, incidentally, romances–a Nymph Island specialty) have been entertaining me mightily as I storm through the series. However, if this is the first of the books you’ve stumbled upon, it can stand alone, although it would constitute a bit of a spoiler for the previous tales.
This one focuses on Daphne and her bouncy daughter, Tigger, whose sugar antics have been a constant in each of these LOLs (Laugh-Out-Louds). The secondary(?) plotline involves a big, bad, development company which is all about the (Canadian) dollars and screw the environment. Tigger’s “baby daddy” is one of the bad guys and has made custody threats. Enter the bodyguard . . .
Now, I could go on and relate the rest of the story to you, but I’m no where near as entertaining as Ms. Oram, especially as her prose is cheerfully narrated by Vanessa Moyen.
I love me a military hero. L. O. V. E. Love! That means that Evander was already well on his way to being on my series favorites list before this book even started. From the first time we met him, really. Daphne was absolutely crazy-making to me. I admire her peace, love, and sunshine outlook, but I’m more of the “if you want peace, prepare for war” school. So, her refusal to consider her safety seriously baffled me. I loved the way the saga of Trixie Hollow and Nymph Island wraps up here, but the path it took getting there left me wanting to tear my hair out for so much of the story.
