Love Him or Leave Him was one of those reads I just love. It's filled with characters that are passionate and complex, there's drama and unwavering heart and small town quirkiness--complete with hot chocolate contests. It's just a sweet romance that kept me smiling and entertained.Becca and Connor. I don't know. They just made me smile and really touched my heart with what they'd been through. There's a lot of heat and fire between them--though there's not really much on page action going on. Lots of history that has to be overcome and well, not everyone is always quite on board with getting all romancy. But they're so good for each other you can't help but want to see them together in the end.Connor. Oh damn. He is my kind of hero. Yall, this man. He is dreamy. Sexy, sweet, dedicated and passionate about his town and being a good Sheriff. But what got me was how he took care of the little old ladies in town. He dotes on them and it is just so damn cute how he has a relationship with his little senior citizen neighbor who he realized was lonely years earlier and chats with every morning. It's a total *girly sigh* kinda thing. lolBecca was great too even if she was a bit of a health nut and all about fitness and eating right. I know it's really, really bad but damn the girl had me wanting a donut something fierce. I so can't relate to the love of fitness but I loved that she cared so much. That she wanted to take care of everyone. She's had a hard few years and often I felt like just reaching in and hugging her. She so sparked the mama bear in me.All in all, Daniel's created a wonderful small town romance. She had me falling for Becca and Connor and wanting to spend more time with them. I loved watching them deal with the past, with her dream of leaving town and discovering a new path, with his struggles over his time in the military. It all made them feel so real. The added mystery of who was causing havoc in the town added a nice element that kept things even more interesting. It was a great time and has me wanting to read more from Daniels in the near future.
