Contemporary Romance
Date Published: 8/30/12
Everyone needs to be rescued sometimes.

Everyone but Hannah Montgomery, that is. She just needs a vacation. Three weeks in New Zealand to sort out her life, figure out what she wants, seems just right. Oh, and to relax. She should definitely put that on the agenda. She certainly isn't looking for a fling with a professional rugby player, no matter how attractive he is. Hannah doesn't do casual. But maybe just this once. . .

Drew Callahan is happy to help Hannah find all the fun she's been missing. But as much as he's shared with her, he's kept one very big secret. And learning the truth, now that she's back home again, has made Hannah warier than ever. Drew knows that she's right for him. But how can he convince her to let down her guard enough to explore what they could have together?


First Thoughts After.......

Good conclusion.  My mind isn't wondering what is to come.


How Distracted Did I Get?
Hannah has had a rough life.  She raised her brother and sister and has had responsibility on her shoulders since she was 14.  She doesn't know how to let anyone help her or take care of her.  Just this once has it's ups and downs and stressful moments.  The book is a story of sweet, true love and you find yourself rooting for the unlikely couple.  Drew is a hottie mctottie Rugby player and he stole the book!  I fell in love!  As much as Drew distracted me Hannah drove me crazy a bit.  The kids actually got a full cooked meal for once, no frozen food (LOL). ;)  I give Just This Once.............

3 BASKETS!!!!!!!
