3.5 StarsI really don't know what to say about this book. Is it good? Was it enjoyable? The answer would be yes to both. There is just something I can't explain as to why I can't rate it higher than three and a half hearts. Let me try to explain. Hmmm...The story starts out with Grace at home with her niece, Ruby. Ruby falls and gets hurt and Grace has to rush her to the ER. It is there that she meets Dr. Cole Tierney. There is an instant attraction between the two, and Cole is determined to get to know her. He books an appointment to get his car serviced at Grace's father's shop where she also works. Their relationship blossoms from there.All the characters were very well developed. Each one had distinct personalities. I found them fun, and just well, solid. I was able to connect emotionally with each character. I hope that each one will get their own stories, because, yes, I would continue reading this series.For the most part, the storyline is flawless. It has a really good flow and kept me interested. Until a certain point. I got frustrated with where the story went. Did I see it coming? Yes, I did and that is what frustrated me. I almost added this book to my dnf shelf. However, for the sake of curiosity and loyalty to the characters I really liked (don't judge, I know you get attached, too), I pushed through. I'm glad I did. After the hump, it ended up being good and enjoyable again.One problem I had with the plot is the suspense aspect of this story. I guess someone is stalking and is obsessed with Grace. HOWEVER, we only get a few snippets of this "stalker." This story felt like more if a contemporary romance, but then the author decided she wanted it to be a romantic suspense so she threw those parts in. To be honest, the first snippet the author included intrigued me. Romantic suspense is actually one of my fave genres, so I was actually a bit excited. But then nothing really happened. So each subsequent glimpse of stalking(?) just felt thrown in and threw the story off for me.This book is not the end of Grace and Cole's story. There will be another book, or at least I hope there will be. The author leaves us hanging at the end and I need to know what happens!
