J. C. Barnett worked hard to put Salvation, Texas in her past. She is successful, immaculately groomed, cool and sophisticated. There are no more days of others pitying her circumstances or ridiculing her station in life. Definitely no more mooning over Rafe. She is an event planner for a successful firm, but life is about to get messy.Rafe McCord is the newly elected mayor and he wants to revitalize the town. If they can pull it off, they'll win the Texas Vacation Spot award and the Texas rodeo will come to town. But they need an event planner to make it happen, and they can't get one. They are either too expensive or too busy.A dog, A mailbox, and an accident changes both their lives. Sentenced to 30 days community series as the much needed event planner, including living in town, throws them together.Rafe doesn't want a permanent relationship with a woman. The death of his wife guarantees that. Besides he must only think of his daughter now.J. C. doesn't want a man, but she wouldn't mind having Rafe.The push and pull of this relationship is fun to read. Every excuse Rafe uses, J. C. logically compromises and blends. Finally out of desperation, Rafe pushs her away with stern words. Rafe flounders, wondering if he made the right choice.The reader could follow the story easily. Empathy with J.C.'s plight against Rafe's stubborness was easily felt. Rafe's dilemna was understood on more than one level. Through it all, the daughter tugged at your heart strings. She was easily loved by everyone.An excellent read! I would recommend this book!
