At first I believed I wouldn't like this story all that much. It seemed predictable but I think in the end that was what I liked about it. It was a sweet story. I liked the relationship between the hero and heroine. The small town setting was a riot. Burton's writing had me engaged and it had just the right amount of sexual tension. I hope to see more of Will and Jane in other Hope books because they were very likable characters. Will Griffin is a hot highway patrol officer He's in the gym when he sees his ex-best friend's ex-wife, Jane Kline. Her husband took off two years ago leaving her and their two kids in the lurch. Now, Will's feeling guilty he didn't help out. Especially when he notices Jane's legs in her swimsuit. Of course, Jane thinks she's a dumpy mother but Will sees her differently.An okay story, especially considering it's a novella. I think Burton fans will like it.
Sweet, short read.The h's insecurity was totally understandable.
