Kate Hamilton did her job correctly and got innocents
killed. Then she finds out her ex-boyfriend is getting
married. On her way to spend some time with her grandfather
and think about her life, she comes on to a good-looking
hunk at a ski lodge...and gets turned down flat. Mortified,
she retreats to her room and hits the road first thing the
next morning.
Helping her grandfather operate his store, she's settling
in and is prepared to meet his newest business neighbor,
Rob Sutter, only to find out he's the good-looking hunk
from the ski lodge. And he definitely remembers their all-
too-brief encounter.
Picking up a Rachel Gibson novel is never a chancy move.
You can always count on her stories to give you hours of
fun-filled escape. With winter in full-out freeze mode,
it's a good time to curl up with a good book. And this is a
good book. Kate is a take-no-nonsense go-getter, but she's
met her match in Rob. Add in the antics of a small town in
the Midwest and you have a definite winner.
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."
I'm reading this book NOW... what a trip to open the Fresh Pick Newsletter and see the book I'm currently reading featured front and center... I've always enjoyed Rachel Gibson's sense of humor and this book is no exception... Warm and witty.. and great couple of characters... looking forward to them finally getting it all together!
