Felicia Swift never dreamed she'd hear a deep, sexy voice from her past in tiny Fool's Gold, California. The last time Gideon Boylan whispered in her ear was half a world away...on the morning after the hottest night of her life. Her freaky smarts have limited her close friendships, and romance, but she came to Fool's Gold looking for ordinary. Gorgeous, brooding Gideon is anything but that.
Black Ops taught Gideon that love could be deadly. Now he pretends to fit in while keeping everyone at arm's length. Felicia wants more than he can give-a home, family, love-but she has a lot to learn about men...and Gideon needs to be the man to teach her.
As these two misfits discover that passion isn't the only thing they have in common, they just might figure out that two of a kind should never be split apart.
What I really liked most about this book in the 12th book of the Fool's Gold series was the heroine. She's a total genius. She doesn't know exactly how to fall in love and when she realizes she is in love, her thought process on how that happened is fascinating. She almost seems so smart that she lacks common sense but that's not the case at all and we see that develop throughout the book. I liked Gideon as well. He's a hero in every sense of the word. Served his country, was held captive by the enemy and rescued and accepts Felicia for who she is. But I really enjoyed a good, strong heroine. She's not the only one who wants a happily ever after and Felicia helps Gideon get there.
Where I think the book could have been better was for Gideon to not have a secret teenaged son just pop up out of nowhere. I felt like it forced Felicia and Gideon together when they could have gotten there all on their own. It did give Felicia's motherly instincts a chance to kick in and it confirmed that she could eventually make a decent mother but I just didn't like it.
I give it 4/5 stars and I dropped a star for the secret teenaged son.
