Romance
Poppy's family thought she was crazy when all she wanted to
do was fix up the old family resort. Poppy's family has
always said that the resort was cursed. Poppy never
believed that and was on a mission to restore it. The more
she tried to fix it up the more problems popped up. Poppy
also has a son Mason out of wedlock. Mason's father wanted
nothing more to do with her once he knew she was going to
have a baby.
Ryan was a teenage idol, now an adult with a lot of baggage.
Ryan has given up acting and is now working behind the
scene. Except in March. Why you might ask? Ryan had a
small fling with an actress, out of that affair came his
son. When his son was four, he passed away in the month of
March. Since than, Ryan can't deal with the month of March.
Ryan needs a place where he can wait out March, and comes
across Poppy's resort. Poppy is not ready for a guest, but
Ryan offers her a great deal of money to rent one of the
cabins for a whole month. Both of them are keeping
secrets, Ryan his past and Poppy the fact that she has a
child.
The sparks begin to fly when the two of them are trapped in
Ryan's cabin after a storm blows though and Poppy's roof
caves in. Both are trying to ignore their feelings for each
other. Ryan Takes Poppy' breathe away. Somehow the news
gets a tip that Ryan is hiding away and now are stalking
him. They take off to Ryan's house to try and escape the
media.
In the mean time Mason's father, reads the news and because
he is in the need of money feels that he can get easy money
from Poppy. Poppy is trying very hard to keep this info
away from Ryan. Ryan finds out and does his best to help
Poppy. Ryan is trying very hard not to get involved in
Mason's life. It is just too hard, because he is about the
same age as Ryan's son when he died. Christie Ridgway writes a great story line. You get
everything you need for a great summer reading. Christie
combines romance along with a little suspense. There are
several smaller story lines in the book, which I feel will
probably be in one of her next stories.
SUMMARY
From USA TODAY bestselling author Christie Ridgway comes a
sparkling new series set in the California mountains, where
Hollywood glamour meets rustic charm, and the sparks fly
among the unlikeliest of couples… Poppy Walker has a plan to restore the family resort, and
she's sticking to it. So when a good-looking guy with plenty
of cash rents one of her half-repaired vacation cabins, she
figures he's just what the handyman ordered. But when a
storm blows through, it takes down some trees, her roof and
then…her self-control. Even though she's been burned before
by a wealthy passer-through, she can't stay away from the
brooding but gorgeous stranger in the bungalow next door. Former teen idol turned Hollywood exec Ryan Hamilton wants a
private place in which to endure his very personal
heartbreak. Finally, at this rustic mountain cabin, he has
all the seclusion one man could want—until sparks begin to
fly with his sexy, formerly chilly landlady. By the time the
weather dies down, they're both hot, bothered and certain
they're still wrong for each other. But there's no telling
how they'll face the new storm brewing on the horizon….
