“Well paced, well-written, a romantic delight.” -Lori Wilde, New York Times bestselling authorThe Garner brothers are poster boys for the ski resort town of Glory Junction, California. But as much as they love outdoor thrills, they know how to create indoor thrills, too . . . Colt Garner thrives on adrenaline. As Glory Junction’s police chief and the co-owner of … Junction’s police chief and the co-owner of Garner Adventure, he knows where to find danger and excitement. Unfortunately his new neighbor, fussy, transplanted city girl Delaney Scott, is anything but a thrill, even if she is as gorgeously curved as a killer ski slope. They have nothing in common but a shared driveway they’re arguing over . . . and a mutual attraction neither of them can fight.
Starting over was not in designer Delaney’s plans. But now that her rotten ex has walked away with the rights to her brand, she needs to reinvent herself, and fast. It’s not easy with bold, brash Colt next door, too handsome for his own good, and, she’s sure, too unreliable for hers. But as small town life throws them together again and again, Colt and Delaney find that simple romance may be the most exhilarating gamble of all . . .

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Loved the hero. Loved the heroine. Characterization was great and a darn good plot, too. It kept me reading, and sometimes that’s hard to do. But not in this book!
This is the first book I have read by Stacy Finz and what a delight. I received this ARC from the author and I am already searching libraries to find her other books since I absolutely loved this one. I do not believe in retelling the story in a review or giving a synopsis of books I read since anyone can get that from reading the cover of the book. In my opinion a good author can get your attention right at the beginning of the book and keep it all the way through to the last page. Stacy Finz does that in Need You. Once I started I couldn’t put the book down. The characters are believable, interesting, varied, and Finz has the gift of writing in making the “bad guy” character non likeable and irritating. There are not so many characters that you lose track of who’s who and how they are related to the story and main characters. I found myself wondering if there will be other stories about the characters in this book besides the Garner brothers as so many of the people were interesting to me. I love the setting of the town and can totally picture it from Stacy’s descriptions. This was a wonderful contemporary romance story and I am truly looking forward to reading all of Stacy’s books and the rest of the Garner brothers’ stories. Thank you Stacy Finz for sending me this copy of Need You, I couldn’t put it down!
After her marriage implodes, and a nasty divorce battle ensues, Delaney Scott retreats to her home in Glory Junction for a little a peace and quiet. She is hoping her stay in the calm little town will give her the much needed break she needs, and possibly help provide some inspiration for her new clothing line, but her little plan falters when her grouchy, but oh so sexy, neighbor waltzes into her world. She is no where near ready for a round two in the love department, but the more time she spends with the good chief, the more the idea starts to grow on her!
Police Chief Colt Garner is too busy for love, the last time he wandered down that path some famous starlet left him with a broken heart and that is just not something he is willing to repeat… it’s not like he has time to date anyway! Between keeping the town safe, doing a gig here and there and working at his families adventure resort he barely has time to catch a few hours of shut eye before he is up and going again. But when his irritatingly beautiful new neighbor comes crashing into his world, hijacks his parking spot, and impedes on his few hours of sleep with her annoy bright lights, he stars to see the appeal making time for love!
I love a good small town romance story, and I have to say the folks of Glory Junction charmed their way into my heart, and treated me to a very delightful literary escape. As soon as I met the good chief and his lovey neighbor I knew something special was about to happen, neither of them were really in the market for love, but fate decided it was time for them to find it!! What started off as a good neighborly battle soon blossomed into something neither of them saw coming… a partnership that gave both of them everything that they needed, but weren’t really searching for, and boy was it fun to watch unfold! This was my first encounter with this author, and I have to say I was quite pleased with what I found, her heartwarming story totally hit the mark, and left me anxious for another visit to this charming little town! Highly recommend you meet the folks of Glory Junction, they’ll pull you into their world and have you never wanting to leave!!
