Two of a Kind by Susan Mallery Review

Two of a Kind (Fool's Gold, #11) - Susan Mallery

Felicia Swift never dreamed she'd hear a deep, sexy voice from her past in tiny Fool's Gold, California. The last time Gideon Boylan whispered in her ear was half a world away…on the morning after the hottest night of her life. Her freaky smarts have limited her close friendships, and romance, but she came to Fool's Gold looking for ordinary. Gorgeous, brooding Gideon is anything but that.

 

Black Ops taught Gideon that love could be deadly. Now he pretends to fit in while keeping everyone at arm's length. Felicia wants more than he can give—a home, family, love—but she has a lot to learn about men…and Gideon needs to be the man to teach her.

 

As these two misfits discover that passion isn't the only thing they have in common, they just might figure out that two of a kind should never be split apart.

 

Review

I picked this one up for the genius heroine an was not disappointed. I loved her. She is a logistic expert and applies her knowledge to everything. She is sweet and self aware. She is also trained in fighting and no push over.

The hero is struggling to acclimate after being a POW. He has sought help but doesn't feel that he should love.

 

There is a surprise twist the plot that adds a lovely layer to the love story and he comes around just in time.

 

All the secondary characters and the town are great. Because this is an on going series which is designed to make you rush out and grab the next book (which I did). I am never fully happy with the HEA. We will get more of this couple in future books but while the end is good here it isn't outstanding.

 

A lovely romance all in all.
