ABOUT THE BOOK

Hailey Genest has seen most of her friends marry and have babies, and she's happy for them, but it was a lot easier before she hit forty. She's spent her entire life in Whitford, Maine, and if she hasn't found her Prince Charming by now, she has to accept she's probably not going to. When a new friend suggests they go on an adventure and embrace being single, Hailey agrees.

Surviving in the woods is game warden Matt Barnett's idea of a relaxing vacation. But when he meets two women in need of help, he leads them back to safety - a task that proves more fun than expected, thanks to a certain hot blonde. He can't resist pushing her buttons, even though she's made it clear that the rugged, outdoorsy type just isn't for her.

Hailey is glad to see the back of her tempting-tour-guide-slash-pain-in-the-ass. When he shows up in her life again, she's determined to avoid him, no matter how good he looks in his uniform. But that's easier said than done in Whitford, especially when he's renting the house right next door..


REVIEW

 Fun love story I’ve come to expect with this series. I loved getting a closer peek at what a small town lawyer’s life is like, and Shannon Stacey does an amazing job of getting into her characters heads so that the reader is able to feel what they are feeling and understand their actions. Matt and Hailey have a lot of very real obstacles to overcome, and none of them are contrived. Real life happens, and it was fun and interesting to read how they overcame it.

There are some laugh out loud moments, and a few honestly heart wrenching moments as well.


OVERALL RATING - 4.5 STARS!
MATURITY RATING - 18+ a little steamy
