Theo MacLeod wasn’t supposed to be the one.Tall, dark and handsome suits me just fine, but the cocky grin, know-it-all attitude, and mammoth ego? No thanks. I only hired him so I wouldn’t have to sit at the singles table again. It was just pretend.He wasn’t supposed to kiss me. My heart wasn’t supposed to pound. We weren’t supposed to spend the night together—the hottest night of my life. One … together—the hottest night of my life.
One night turns into a snowed-in weekend away, and even the blizzard of the century can’t cool the fire between us. I can’t get enough—of his smile, of his body, of the way he makes me feel.
We’re nothing alike. He’s a daredevil, and I’m a nervous Nellie. He’s a drifter, and I want to put down roots. He’s an opportunist with a checkered past, and I’m a Girl Scout volunteer.
But none of it matters when I’m in his arms.
I know he’s made mistakes. I know his wounds are deep, and he doesn’t trust easily. I know he doesn’t believe he could ever be enough to make me happy, but he could.
All he has to do is stay.

What a beautiful and heartwarming story. I enjoyed all three of these books. I definitely recommend this author, this book and this series.
3.75 stars
The two main characters had good chemistry. I enjoyed the book, a quick read, a sweet romance, a little sex and a HEA. I will read this author again.
Loved this book. Well written.
I loved this book! It is a wonderful story of finding love later in life. And so what if you find him on the internet! Great heartwarming and steamy story!
A nice easy enjoyable romance. I love Claire and Theo. They are real
life type characters!
Liked the strong, sassy female character not at all whimp nor a cry-baby.

So,so
Not what I expected. Good story
Overall, this was a good book. Fun, sexy, and sweet. But not too realistic toward the end, because the male character did not seek or explore professional help for his hang-ups. Pie-in-the-sky story.
Was good, the end was just ok.
My first book of hers and I’m glad I read it! Melanie is now an auto buy for me.
Characters were not fully developed but the story though predictable was interesting
Fun read
Great Read!
I loved the premise of this story! Claire and Theo’s chemistry was off the charts!
I felt like there was so much history for Theo but it didn’t go it out much detail or deal with it much. Just mentioned his past and how he stopped doing illegal things and straightened up. It felt sudden and was like bam it’s all fixed.
The ending was too cute and I just love them together.
This is a great take on opposites attract. Claire is hearts and flowers and Theo is a man with a shady past. They meet when she hires him to be her date at a wedding (she’s tired of sitting at the singles table.) They hit it off and he leaves and breaks her heart (and he does this more than once!) But she brings out the best in him…and he wants to be the kind of man she deserves and works hard to get there. Small spoiler moment: when he shows up at a cabin in the woods during a snow storm…I LOVED it.
I love this book
Theo and Claire were wonderful together. They both grew emotionally as they fell in love. They each had to address their own insecurities to be right for the other. It was a great book. I would definitely recommend it.
