Oh how I love these McLaughlin books!Yes, I'm biased, I am a friend of Shelli's, and I live on Whidbey Island, but I really do like these books!So. Colin and Hailey... Where to start. Colin is a good man, looking to settle down, with a big chip on his shoulder about Hailey. And his ex-fiancee, who left him at the alter. He has a attitude! And he's a cop, so that comes with the territory.Hailey has some family issues. Serious family issues! Her mother is a drug addict, and Hailey has fought to not follow down that path, and to keep her brother out of it as well. As a high school girl, she made a really bad decision, and took money to say she'd slept with Ian, (from book one in the series)to break him up from his then girl friend Sarah. The McLaughlin clan has been angry with Hailey ever since! It started to calm down in book one when we learn why Hailey did what she did, but Colin can't let it go.On to their story! Colin is a stubborn snot, Hailey is a proud girl. This makes for a wonderful, fun, hot story! Throw in a nasty ex-boyfriend of Hailey's, and Colin's interferring family, and you have a fabulous book.I've read a bunch of Shelli's books, certainly not all of them, but a good handful. I've liked them all, haven't disliked any, but these two are by far my favorite. Yes, I know, they are set on my island, but the writing in these is just excellent. I think she's really come in to her own as an author, and I am so proud of her!
