Love By Design Book 3
Whittaker Jones could have funded the Interior Department’s conservation budget with his own pinup calendar.
The last thing this sexy forest ranger wanted was to go on a search and rescue mission for a stubborn college co-ed throwing a temper tantrum. He’s got a hot date manning his front porch like a grumpy old man in his rocker with a carton of take-out for dinner.
Amelia Rae Faust hates the outdoors, man buns, and lying, crush stealing roommates.
A hike in the woods turned into an existential vision quest for the girl without a plan. She wasn’t supposed to get lost, or have a one night stand with the surly forest ranger. His body heat is far too tempting and a night of survival becomes something more.
Book three in the Love By Design series of stand alone contemporary romantic comedies.
Heartburn is written to be read as a standalone, but many readers prefer to read the series in order. Love Under Construction (1) Unlovely Things (2) Heartburn (3) Tailwind (4)
My Review:
I like Whit. I think I’ve always liked Whit. There’s just something special about his brand of ‘strong silent type’. It works for me. I liked Lia too. I’m twice her age and I still feel like I haven’t made any more headway deciding what to do with my life than she has. I can totally sympathise with her. They have the kind of meet-cute that romance novels are made of. Case in point. But there’s a whole lot of fuss and bother over the eight year difference in their ages. Too much for what the difference really deserves. And calling quotation marks “commas” has the grammarian in me throwing a temper tantrum. There’s actually several little spelling and grammar things like that which made me twitch, but since it’s light years better than the first two books in the series, I was able to overlook most of them. Whit and Lia were able to bring me past the jaw clenching frustration the first two couples left me with. Now I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store for Chase. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
