Excerpt
“It’s not like that. Carter and I are friends. Just
friends.”
“I know you were out at his place the other night. I
thought—”
“It’s not like that,” she emphasized.
“Yes, it is,” Carter corrected, strolling into the room.
“Hey, Doug. Morning, Doc.”
She looked around for an object to throw at him. From the
wink Carter threw her way, she guessed he had a good idea of exactly what her
intentions were. He wasn’t that charming. She refused to smile.
“No, it’s not,” Henley argued. Doug stood there, his
expression miserable. The grin Carter wore implied he found her amusing. She
eyeballed the stapler and wondered how much damage it could inflict if
propelled.
“You know, Doc, hitting an officer of the law is as much a
criminal act here as it is in Cleveland.” Yeah, he had her number.
“Take off that star then.” Turning up her nose, she sat with
as much dignity as she could muster.

This was my first book by Becky Flade and I was pleasantly surprised by have captivating I became with this story. The circumstances that brought Henley to Tapper's Cove was compelling, the things she's suffered pull at your heartstrings. Considering everything that she's been through, Henley is a lot stronger and braver than she ever gave herself credit for.
Carter can be arrogant, cocky, funny, and charming, but it's his heart that makes him unbelievably appealing. His past brought him to Trapper's Cove, but his drive to protect those around him is always there. His captivating sense of humor will have you equally laughing and swooning.
I enjoyed this story and everything it had to offer. It's funny, suspenseful, soul searching, and endearing. This is a romance story that will have on the edge of your seat waiting to see what will happen next.
