Chelsea Crawford Collier is your typical goody-two shoes.  A high school history teacher, she always does exactly what is expected of her.  By her friends, her neighbors, and especially her mother.  For this reason, she is on a collision course with Marietta's newest property owner.Jasper Flint has never done what was expected of him.  His whole life he was told exactly where he couldn't go, and what he couldn't be, and he delighted in proving everyone wrong.  So when a prim and proper local gets her nose in a twist about his latest real estate transaction, he can't help but take up the challenge of tempting her...and proving her wrong about him.While this was a quick read, it was a delight.  With this story we get our first real glimpse at the world of Marietta, Montana, a small town steeped in history and situated in the shadow of Copper Mountain.  It's the type of town where kids grow-up either dreaming of leaving it behind or knowing for certain that they never will.Chelsea in one of the latter, and for that she comes off more admirable than sad.  She might have harbored a few fantasies of far off places, but in her heart she knew where she belonged.  Her mother is a nightmare, and her ex-boyfriend deserves a slap upside the head, but all of this adds to her character, and to that of the book.Jasper's character is pretty much what holds the whole story together, so it is hard to give too much insight on who he is without giving too much away.  We'll just say he is much more than even he gives himself credit for.Overall, the book was satisfying and fun to read.
