Cat's Books: Romance

Isabel Beebe thinks she's cursed in the romance department. Her teenage crush, Ford Hendrix, ignored all her letters. Her husband left her for another…man. So Isabel has come home to dust off her passion for fashion and run the family bridal shop until her parents are ready to sell it. Then she'll pursue her real dreams. At least, that's the plan, until sexy, charming Ford returns and leaves her feeling fourteen all over again…..

Seeing Isabel all grown-up hits bodyguard trainer Ford like a sucker punch. Back when heartbreak made him join the military, her sweet letters kept him sane. Now he can't take his eyes—or his lips—off her. The man who gave up on love has a reason to stay in Fool's Gold forever—if three little words can convince Isabel to do the same.

Review

I purchased this book right away after reading Two of Kind. I really want Kent's and Consuela's romance. I was disappointed that they weren't getting their own book but the love story is split pretty evenly between charming ex Navy seal Ford and the witty Isabel and Kent, sexy math teacher and the Kick ass Conseula so in the end I was pleased.

Both romances are lovely with Consuela's being a bit more angsty and Ford taking a lot longer to understanding his feelings. The town and secondaries are wonderful and Fool's Gold is a great place to be.

I love Warrior Women and I love that she wanted a mellower kind of guy but that Kent was still complex.

With Ford and Isabel, we get the whole town involved and this is a good time in this pretend relationship trope.

I think Consuela and Kent deserved a few more scenes and couple time though.

I do have a question: What is there water on all these covers? Is there a lake I am missing near the town?

You don't have to have read the whole series to enjoy this one but I do suggest picking up Two of Kind for a richer read.
