Oh this was a great story! One of the very first scenes still leaves me chuckling ~ rather like a loon I'm afraid ~ but it just defined the whole of the interactions between Hallie and Marc throughout the story: Hallie doing the very unexpected, and Marc reacting in very, to him, mysterious ways.
The humour is rich and tasty while the problems facing Hallie and Marc are, very often, vexing in the extreme. But once again Diane Pershing has written a story that is very much character-driven ~ and what wonderful characters they are!
This is another fantastic example of just why Diane Pershing rates so high on my favourite authors list. VERY, VERY, VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

FROM the BACK:
I NEED THAT PAY PHONE...
She was a polite person, normally. But Hallie Fitzgerald was expecting a call ~ on the pay pphone outside the hardware store ~ from the burglar who'd robbed her. The same phone a gorgeous former marine, and the town's new police chief, currently occupied!
NOW
By-the-book lawman Marc Walcott sensed the petite and feisty Hallie knew more than she was telling him about the stolen museum pieces. Marc was determined to employ all sorts of new interrogation techniques to uncover the truth ~ including an in-depth investigation of her lips...no matter how many kisses it took!
