Is it fair to judge a man by the size of his…wallet?After a humiliating divorce, Lucy Harris decides to put love on hold while she oversees a B&B in Honey Springs, Arkansas. Then she meets the drop-dead sexy Noah Bennett and a hot fling might be just the thing she needs to move on.Millionaire Noah Bennett just wants to date a woman who’s not lusting after his money. So when his car breaks … lusting after his money. So when his car breaks down in a rural area, he’s surprised to meet the attractive and independent Lucy, the first female who doesn’t seem to care about his success.
As scorching kisses turn into passionate nights, Noah realizes he wants more from this beautiful, intelligent woman. Except steamy sex doesn’t erase Lucy’s doubts over rich men or mend her self-esteem, especially since Noah’s exactly the type of man she wants to avoid.
But if there’s one thing Noah likes, it’s a challenge. He’s determined to win her heart. Even if it means taking apart her defenses and slowly earning her trust.
When Lucy’s ex-husband breezes into town and Noah’s jealous stalker becomes fixated on tearing them apart, they find their lives hopelessly entwined. If they want a shot at a happily-ever-after, Noah and Lucy will need the courage to face their problems and decide whether they’re just a series of one-night stands—or starting something real.

(Review with spoilers)
First book I read by the author. I loved this nice romance and I recommend it.
Noah comes from a humble family, but he and his siblings have managed to create a successful business. Women come to him for his money. And what once seemed right to him, only sex and nothing else, has begun to weary him. He wants to know someone who is interested in him, who wants to know him, who sees him as he is, someone to connect with and aspire to have everything. That’s when he meets Lucy.
Lucy left her town to go to college and came back when her marriage failed. She mistrusts men because of the treatment she received from her ex-husband and cannot approach anyone. Noah calls her attention when they meet, but there can be nothing between them. Or so she believes.
I love Noah. He is affectionate and caring, he wants to be with her, he listens to her, he wants to know what she thinks. He feels comfortable with her from the first moment, as if they knew each other all their lives. He wants to be in a relationship with her, and he understands that she is afraid. It hurts him that she doesn’t trust him, that she doesn’t see that he’s not like her ex.
It’s been harder for me to like Lucy. She feels something for Noah, but she is afraid. They hardly know each other, he’s rich like his ex, she’s afraid he’ll treat her like him. She’s been trying to regain her self-confidence for some time, but she hasn’t succeeded yet. She has to learn to trust, Noah, and her too. She is not the same woman she was when she was with his ex. She’s brave, she works hard, she fights for what she wants.
I don’t like that Lucy mistrusts Noah, that she doesn’t get him a chance to explain himself. He deserves to be listened to before judging him. When she acts like that, she does the same thing they did to her. He sees her for who she is, and she lets her prejudices influence her opinion.
I love them together. They have only known each other for a short time, but the bond between them is very strong.
I love Lucy’s friends. They support her, they want to protect her, and they also want her to be happy. They see, before her, that Noah is not like her ex, that he will take care of her and respect her.
I also love Noah’s family. I love her father. He doesn’t need to know anything about Lucy to accept her into their lives. If Noah thinks she is the woman he wants to share the rest of his life with, she is, and they will love her.
She wants nothing to do with men since her bitter divorce. She is working when a man comes in and he is handsome. She wonders if a fling would help her. He sets out to win her heart but he has a stalker and her ex appears. Can they work together so they can be together? See how they get on

A great read from new author Marlene Riggs. I was pulled in to Lucy and Noah’s story straight off the bat.
Noah is this hot and sexy millionaire and Lucy owns her own B&B. When Noah finds himself Honey Springs and meets Lucy sparks fly but Lucy is a little closed off. Her past is causing her to guard her heart but can Noah break down her barriers and show her the way to true love.
A great story and I’m looking forward to what comes next.
This is the perfect romance to curl up with for the afternoon. After her divorce from a man who only married her to get back at his parents, Lucy has sworn off men with money so when she meets Noah at her bed and breakfast she is determined to steer clear but the attraction between them is strong he just loves that she does not care about his money. This is a super sweet read and I really enjoyed it
The book is a good small town romance read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry.

While this story was sweet Noah & Lucy sure burnt up the sheets! So if your not into a lot of hot scenes look elsewhere. Noah was a good guy but nothing like her ex. Lucy did get on my nerves a bit as her past stopped her from moving on.
This is a small town story where the locals look after their own & they even had trouble accepting Noah until he saved the day for her. Well twice actually as anther ex appeared on the scene too.
Overall a nice feel good read.
