My Thoughts:
Dave Metcalf is one of our unsung heroes – he puts his life on the line
in order to help others. He’s a divorced
father who has eyes for one woman. And
he has the ex from hell. Marissa Cortez
is looking to have a second chance at love.
She also has a mystery to solve. This
story starts off with us feeling sorry for Metcalf – this is a great way to
grab the reader’s attention. Marissa
just seems to be at the right place at the right time. On top of the mystery and romance, our author
puts in a little something that will pull at your heart. You’ll get a sense of some real emotion
especially when Marissa meets Ashton for the first time. He will have you wanting to give him a
hug. What I loved about Marissa’s family
is that her brothers can be royal pains and overprotective - they just want her
to be happy.
Once you start this story, you will find it difficult to put down. I’m not one for solving mysteries so I have
to keep reading. The connection that you
see develop between our two main characters is just icing on the cake. Another reason I had to keep reading were the
concerns that Dave had about Marissa. Once you see those concerns, you want to
find out if they are valid or if things work out. Then there’s Ashton – you want to know that
his world will be filled with love and happiness.
This being the first in a series and after reading this first book, I’m
going to have some high expectations for book two. Especially at the surprise the author puts
into the Epilogue – you’ll be smiling.
For this being my first book that I’ve read by Ms. Rivers, I’m most
impressed and looking forward to reading more.
I hope that if you take the time to read this book you will be impressed
too.
