This book was a little boring.  This is the story about Maggie & Chase.  Maggie is an attorney who goes to a Lodge in Maine by herself to get away.  She hurts her ankle on a hiking trail and Chase, a retired Navy Seal and doctor helps her.  Chase is staying at the same Lodge with his girlfriend Kimberly.  The majority of the book is Maggie being clumsy & falling and getting hurt & Chase trying to help her.  Most of the time she pushes him away saying "i'm fine".  I think she says "i'm fine" more than anything in the book.  There is not much between Chase & Kimberly except after a few days he says he sent her home and they will never be in a relationship.  You get very little background of characters, however the scenery described off the coast of Maine is great, probably the best part of the book.Maggie's character is very annoying how she keeps falling, getting fevers, getting trapped.  She is supposed to be an attorney but I couldn't imagine that.  There is an ex husband who was mentioned that hurt her but than nothing else about that. Chase for some reason that is unknown feels like she is "the one".  I am not sure how he felt this since she was always "the patient" needing to be taking care of.  Their falling in love at first sight did not feel real.There are a whole other list of things that just didn't add up in this book, one being at one point the main character Maggie was called Kate, editing error.  I won't list anymore because that would give away the story.  But I have to say the one thing that bothered me is at end when Chase & Maggie finally got together, there was no condom or mention of one.  Now all in the same vacation week Chase was in that same room with another girl that he "sent packing" but you know he was with her as well.  I just didn't enjoy the book, felt no romance connection and felt it was too repetative.
