O.K. Ladies....if any of you are looking for a new book boyfriend, allow me to introduce you to Clay Mathers... In her novel, Hearts in Harmony, author Gemma Brocato has Pippa Sanders and Clay Mathers first meeting under not so auspicious circumstances when Pippa is accosted by a member of one of those disgusting radical groups who make it their life's work to protest at the funerals of soldiers killed in action.  As the widow of a soldier, Pippa is paying a visit to her husband's grave after attending services for a friend.  Clay is also visiting a grave nearby and is quick to come to Pippa's rescue.  Since the death of her husband, Pippa is used to taking care of herself and her children without the help of a man and rather than being grateful to this stranger who sends the nasty protester packing, Pippa is determined to show Clay she is quite capable of defending herself and show him she does. . .however, her fancy maneuvers backfire and the carefully constructed walls she has built around herself begin to crumble. Pippa has a full life working with clients as a music therapist, raising her children and providing support to military widows like herself. Her chance meeting with Clay Mathers, who works for one of those government acronym agencies and is in town temporarily, has her dreaming dreams of this green-eyed hunk.  And the attraction is definitely mutual.How much more attractive could Clay be??  He's beautiful to look at, he loves children, and he's good to his mother.  I think readers will find Hearts in Harmony a pleasure to read.  I know I certainly did!  It's the second book in a series and although I found some of the back story on the other characters to be missing, it was likely clarified in the first book and did not seriously detract from this book.  Actually, it made me want to read the first book Cooking Up Love.  Hearts in Harmony is very well-written with engaging characters and a story that is touching, funny, steamy and will bring you to the edge of your seat before it concludes just the way it should.
