“What is so effing special about this man?”Cara Carson is a thirty year old, independent and although she may not think so, strong woman. She has seen her share of tragedy and has sworn off love and men for life. Instead she has “married” herself to opening her own business, Cara’s Kitchen, where she will serve her grandmother’s fabulous recipes. After two years of planning, it is finally time to start the renovations. The place will look beautiful with that old willow tree as a focal point. Oh No!  The tree. . . . did she forget to leave instructions to leave the tree?Morgan Wood’s hadn’t planned on being at this job sight, but between his father and his regular operator being sick, he had no choice. He didn’t want to take down the old tree, but he was being paid to do a job and the instruction didn’t say leave the tree so down it went. Now he’s got two machines stuck in the immense amount of mud and a huge headache coming on when he notices a woman, also stuck in the mud, waving and yelling at him.“She couldn’t sidestep this distracting attraction between them, maybe she needed to take hin to bed and get it him out of her system.”I have read all of Lizzies Ashworth’s books I believe and besides being a wonderful story teller, she is an incredibly steamy s-e-x scene writer, OH MY! Lizzie has created two wonderful characters in this book. Morgan has commitment phobia and will never settle down, but there is depth to him. He has feelings that stem from his childhood (a real person?) and throughout the book, we get see who those attitudes developed. I have to admit, it brought tears to my eyes and I really do NOT like crying. Cara too is wounded and her back story is a bit weepie, but because I love Lizzie as an author so much I will forgive her for the tears she caused. This was an incredible love story full of passion, emotion, tenderness and strong connections. I really hope Ms. Ashworth continues with some these characters in another book. I give Faint Heart 5 STARS and 5 hands down the pants.
