KISS OF A STRANGER:
Wow…what a WONDERFUL story! I loved the location, characters, dialogue, and story – I can think of nothing negatives to comment on at all! What a seamless story that builds in intensity and strength – I could not stop once I began reading!
Gabe is an ex-con with revenge and clearing his name on his mind when he enters Lost Coast Harbor. One of the first people he meets is Maddie and there is chemistry between them from the very beginning. Maddie has a past that has led her to err on the side of caution rather than take risks and Gabe seems like a big risk to her in so very many ways. Their relationship grows steadily and strengthens as situations appear and then are dealt with. Maddie’s friends are interesting and will no doubt be in future books of the series – I certainly hope so anyway.
Gabe…what a hunk and sweetie and sort of damaged and a skilled lover and expecting so little from others and yet he has so much to give. Maddie…what a strong woman willing to be there for her friends and ultimately do what is right…and hot for Gabe although he goes completely against her five year plan for the future.
Again…WOW…I loved this book and would give it more than five stars if I could!
Lost Coast Harbor is a place I would love to visit! It is a small town with a lot more going on below the surface than expected. The mystery about just what is going on and who is involved with the criminals is explored a bit more in this novel as Erin Grady and Will Patton meet and get to know one another.
Erin is an emergency room nurse who knows her stuff and applies it inside and outside the hospital. She is competent, unflappable and very skilled. She has not had an easy childhood but it has increased her independence, resilience and nurturing personality. When Will literally falls at her feet while she is jogging she snaps into ER nurse mode and gets him taken care of… while also scoping him out a bit.
As the story progresses so does the federal investigation of Lost Coast Harbor. Who is corrupt? How to find them? Who to trust? What does the future hold in store for Erin and Will AND will it be what they both had hopes for at the beginning of the story.
Good…really, really, REALLY good!
Declan and Annabelle – WOW – they are so much more than what they appeared to be on the surface! Peeling away the layers of who they had been, currently appeared to be and could be in the future was an adventure that I could not put down!
Declan, one of the devilish Donnelly family is the black sheep for a charming and different reason. Why? He has chosen a straight, narrow and very controlled path in an effort to avoid all that the rest of his family is known to be. Annabelle is a phenomenal baker and liked by all but carrying a burden that keeps her from being the carefree woman she remembers once being. There is definitely attraction between them that has simmered since they met three years before. What happens in this book brings the simmer to a boil with a very interesting outcome. Pure dynamite!
