I loved the opening of this book but it went against the grain. I've been working on improving my writing skills and one of the things I've learned is that you should always start with the heroines point of view (POV) and that you she should be in a pro-active vice re-active position.

Well, with over 30 books to her credit, Lenora started this book with the hero's POV and he finds the heroine, Stella sitting there, bawling her eyes out. She's definitely re-acting to her circumstances. This proves that with writing, you have to follow your own instinct and not always rely on a pre-determined formula.

This is book one in the Brotherhood of the Badge series. Sawyer Kincade met Melissa Teague when he was undercover on an assignment almost a year ago. He helped to put her abusive ex-husband in prison but now Ace has escaped and his obsession with Melissa has put her and he young son in danger.

I had been going back and forth about reading this book.  The character is Sophie Bellamy, she is the absentee mother of Daisy and Max and the ex-wife of Greg (H of the last Lakeshore book).  How could such a woman be a heroine?  Well, I should have remembered ever story has two sides.  Soph

Courtney Collins, a single mother readily accepted the  invitation to stay with her reclusive aunt in Hidden Cove. But upon arriving she's pressed with her aunts "strange" behaviour. When Courtney meets their landlord Neil Ellsworth her days in Hidden Cove seem to brighten.

Score: 3.5

Stef Ann Holm is a new to me author.

Wow! Fiona Harper has written a really witty fun filled book.  I will be watching for her books in the future. This is a really great book. I really liked the last line.
