A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Chris
Rebecca has had a tough time of it. She found out she was pregnant and had to marry her fiancé while he was in jail. He was arrested on a drug charge. Years and another child later, Becky finally divorced him and is now seeking to make a peaceful life for herself and her children. When the invitation comes to stay at her friends house during the ten year college reunion, the timing couldn’t be better. She’s interviewing for a nursing position and that will help out a lot financially. With her Aunt Mary’s admonishment to find her a good man ringing in her ears, she’s off.
Having her car breakdown was bad. The only good thing is it chose to breakdown at her final destination. When Joe Harris, who lived across the street from the house Becky lived in during college, comes out to help her, she’s left speechless. And her condition doesn’t improve when he announces his intentions toward her. Intentions he’s had since he was sixteen and fell in love with her ten years ago. In a state of shock, and a little turned on, Becky agrees to let him accompany her to the reunion. But she’s really agreed to a lot more than that. Aunt Mary will be so proud.
I just wanted to squeeze Joe Harris. What a sweety! He handled Becky with kid gloves when appropriate, but also treated her like a woman. Becky, though she’s had a hard time, was no shrinking violet. Their romance moves along nicely until Joe drops an unintentional bomb on Becky. Her interpretation of his comment makes for a tense moment or two, but Joe saves the day. And he saves Becky too, in more ways than one. A delightfully romantic and steamy read.
