Ex P.I. Kate Hamilton leaves Las Vegas to stay with her
grandfather Stanley in Gospel, Idaho to heal and reorganize
her life. Kate vows that Valentine's Day sucks after being
dumped by her boyfriend and the disastrous outcome of her
last case leaving her re-evaluating her life. Stopping over
in Sun Valley Lodge, for the first time ever, Kate forges
ahead and propositions a hunk at the bar. The last thing
she
expects is to be turned down flat and left in humiliation.
Working in her grandfather's store is the last place she
expects to see the item of her embarrassment. Every woman's
fantasy dream, Rob Sutter, is
a retired Hockey star after an injury from a bullet from a
crazy woman of a one-night fling; said fling also ended
his marriage and leaves him an absentee father to his baby
girl, Amelia.
Eventually their estranged acquaintance grows
into a genuine friendship complete with sizzling hot sex in
the store aisles. Rules have changed and Kate wants someone
that will commit to love her for a lifetime. With his
history with women, Rob cannot commit. Kate will not try to
change his mind for what he believes and walks away
permanently. It takes some real alone time without Kate to
make Rob admit he loves her and cannot live without her in
his life, forever. Maybe Kate will finally have a
Valentine's Day complete with forever love!
Rachel Gibson's fantasies will be hard to beat. I so
enjoyed this very heart- warming tale of two souls finding
their way to true love. Once I picked THE TROUBLE WITH
VALENTINE'S DAY up I had to
fight myself to put it down. This is a truly wonderful
story filled with compassion, love but definitely not least
- - hot, sizzling sex to heat the blood. Rob is every
woman's dream!
Kate Hamilton should know. Dumped by her boyfriend, stressed
out by her job, she's returned to Gospel, Idaho, for some
rest and small-town fun. But when her first attempted
seduction of a hunky stranger is completely rejected, she
wonders what else could go wrong?
Well, for starters, she quickly realizes that the Mountain
Momma Crafters' original poetry readings is about as good as
it gets on a Friday night. Then she comes face-to-face with
Rob Sutter, former ice hockey madman, owner of Sutter
Sports--and the hunky stranger who told her to get lost.
Rob's been more than burned by love--but then he and Kate
find themselves in an ultra-compromising position in the M &
S Market after hours, giving the phrase "clean-up in aisle
five" a whole new meaning, and causing a whole lot of gossip
in Gospel...
Excerpt
Just like the first time she'd seen him, she wondered if
thinking about the man had conjured him up. Only this time,
there were no warm tingles. Just that funny feeling in her
head like she might faint.
She was sure he was recalling every detail of the night
she'd propositioned him. Then night he'd made his rejection
of her look like the easiest thing he'd ever done.
"This is Rob Sutter," said Kate's grandfather, over the buzz
in her ears. "Rob, this is my only granddaughter, Katie
Hamilton. I don't believe you've met."
The silence between them seemed to stretch forever as she
waited for him to imform her grandfather that they had
already met. To tell him his granddaughter was a drunk...or
worse.
"No. We haven't met" he said. A curious smile turned up the
corners of his mouth. "It's nice to meet you, Katie."
