While I was attending The Tennessee Valley Author Event , a very well known author pulled me aside.  She said, “There is a book I want you to read.  I want you to promise not to look at the cover.  Just read the book.  It’s very good.”How could I not read this book.  My curiosity was piqued.When I opened this book, I tried very hard not to look at the cover.  From the very first paragraph I was drawn into the book.  I could not put this book down.  This book has everything a reader looks for in a good book.  The story is fast paced, loaded with humor, full of red-hot chemistry and sexual tension, romantic, and hair raising suspense.  And as a bonus the author created delightful, quirky characters that wiggle their way into your heart the moment they are introduced.When I finished this book I was very satisfied with the time I had invested in it.  I was heading straight to Amazon to one click the second book in this series.  Finding Jordie did not end on a cliffhanger that forced me to buy the next book.  I just wanted more of these characters and more of their happily ever after story.Jordie Spagnato is a strong woman.  She is a business woman, tough bar owner, single mother, and widow.

When she finds out that man is the hottest Hollywood star, it doesn’t change her opinion of him.Nathan Harper is enthralled with Jordie Spagnato.  She looks at him as a man and not a superstar.  She treats him like she treats her friends and loved ones.  How could he not fall in love with her?Just as they are about to take the next step in their relationship a nasty stalker makes his presence known.  The danger is just beginning.  The suspense will escalate and keep you on the edge of your seat.This book had every element I look for in a book.  It is well written and fast paced.  H.J.
