Two years after her husband's accidental death, Charlotte Delaney will do whatever it takes to save her cafe from foreclosure, even accepting a marriage proposal from her late husband’s boss. That is, until an appealing stranger insinuates that her husband's death was no accident and the person responsible could be the same man who's asked her to marry him. The attraction between Charlotte and JT is instantaneous and explosive, making her question everything she thought she knew about herself and her life.
Together, the two battle against an unquenchable desire while scrambling to thwart a terrorist act that could thrust the country into epic tragedy. The closer they get to the truth, the higher the stakes, with Charlotte at risk of becoming collateral damage. Now, both will be forced to put everything on the line: for life, liberty, and love.
By Chapter 5, I gave up.
JT Malone's character started out great. Ms. Drennan portrayed him as experienced, yet apprehensive going into his new assignment. All good stuff. Charlotte Delaney's character, though a bit flat, was believable at first too. A widow of two years, she still loved her husband and found it hard to move on. More good stuff.
What curled my lip was how both characters went from JT's ambition of catching the bad guy and Charlotte's desire to save her beloved cafe, to suddenly both having Fourth of July sexual fireworks and wanting to spank the monkey in her front living room.
One minute she's crying in her deceased husband's untouched-since-he-died office to tongue wrestling outside that very door. The flinging of eye-rolling emotions moved faster than a reader kept up with and eventually left me in the dust with a bad taste for this book.
I had such high hopes from everything the blurb promised. Sadly, this book couldn't keep me interested.
