Review # 1 was written on 2018-12-03 00:00:00 Joanna English Reading the reviews here makes me wonder if it's the same book people are talking about because I, for one, freaking loved it! A close knit town in the edge of nowhere (literally!), a quaint charming B&B, not one but two sexy Marines to save the day, a lovely widow and her adorable potty mouthed twins, hottie ex-nun, nosy matchmaking natives, pretty decent mob background (almost every thug with a covert plan to kill the other was, for the lack of better word, riveting) and a solid plot. But most importantly, a LH hero who blushes!! What's not to like???!!

As an avid fan of Linda Howard's novels, I was so excited that I finally got my hands on this book and I was more than ready to dive into it. And when I already did, I found the story, for the most part, to be immensely gripping, thrilling, and fun to read. However, if compared to her other early works, I wouldn't say this is a stellar one. While the romance part was perfectly delivered that I couldn't help but swoon over the hero, the suspense part, on the contrary, was fairly far-fetched and seemed to get in the way. I must admit, I didn't expect these bad guys to be so dumb, so much so that they came up with the stupidest and craziest plan ever. As far as I can see, there were many sensible alternatives for them to get what they wanted without dragging the whole town involved. Weren't they supposed to be careful not to draw any attention to themselves? *Shakes head in disbelief* Well, let's get back to the best part of this book'the romance. You can't go wrong with LH when it comes to sizzling chemistry and intense sexual tension between the main couples. Although there were only a few romantic scenes of Calvin and Cate together, they were all great! I loved how Cal patiently waited until Cate got over the grief of losing her husband and ready for a new relationship. It took her three long years to finally see him as a man, not just Mr. Harris, the community handyman. And for Cal, it was worth waiting for her no matter what because the outcome of his patience was very sweet! "I'd been here a couple of weeks and was getting ready to move on when you moved in. I saw you, and stayed. Simple as that." *Loves* Speaking of Cal, he was the most surprising surprise for me. I can tell he was the first LH's hero who didn't strike me as a pure alpha male. He was painfully shy, blushing and stuttering whenever Cate was around. That was so cute! My actual rating is 3.5 stars but I rounded it up to 4. I might be a little biased, but what can I say? LH is one of my favorite authors and I absolutely loved both main characters in this book. Four stars then. All in all, this was an enjoyable read. Recommended for fans of this author and fans of romantic suspense.
