Wishful Book 2
Welcome back to Wishful, Mississippi, full of eccentric characters and southern charm, where author Kait Nolan delivers another heart-warming story of a strong, successful woman and the equally strong man who learns how to be her partner.
A grown-up Boy Scout
Liam Montgomery is the last person who'd call himself a hero, but he does have a tendency to try to save the world. Now that he's left the Marine Corps and returned to Wishful, he feels out of place and unsure of what comes next. He does know one thing: The girl who used to look up to him like a brother is all grown up. No way he can see her as a little sister now. And she won't give him the time of day.
Queen of Doing All The Things
Riley Gower isn't holding out for a hero. In fact, a knight in shining armor is the last thing she wants. She's been watching her mother chase that fairy tale for most of her life, with Riley the one left to pick up the pieces of unhappily ever after. Running Wishful's downtown pharmacy is a dream Riley's worked toward for years. Now that the business is finally hers, the realities of the current economy have made it seem like the dream is slipping through her fingers. So when her mother calls, expecting yet another rescue, Riley feels like she's spread thinner than the last pat of butter at Sunday dinner.
The impossible mission he can’t resist
It's hard enough for a woman like Riley to admit she could use a hand, but mix in the embarrassment of a childhood crush and the devastating attraction sizzling between them? No way. Liam is determined to help, but taking down insurgents is less complicated than infiltrating Riley's defenses. This will require reinforcements. And a plan.
My Review:
I'm a sucker for a military hero. And when he's as sweet and sexy as Liam, I just melt. Riley's strong and capable enough to be a military officer in her own right, so she's a perfect match for him. Watching these two work past their misunderstandings was both frustrating and a joy - I just wanted them to get to their Happily Ever After so badly. It was a shame that interruptions like work and sleep kept interfering with my ability to finish the book in one sitting. The characters are complex and real, completely believable. And the situations they find themselves in, while often funny, are things that most of us have experienced at one time or another. The world of Wishful is a living, breathing entity in my imagination and I can't wait to go back and read more about her residents. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.
