What happens when a career first woman meets up with a playboy who has decided he needs to date the right girl & settle down? Lots of tender emotional scenes, misunderstandings & hot, intense chemistry! Jade Johnson is in Cedar Springs to oversee the project her client, Gwen, is involved in. From the moment she meets Mitch, they share an intense chemistry that will not let them ignore or stay away from the other. Jade feels men are nothing but trouble. Her mother has pushed the point that men & children interfere with your plans & career from the time Jade was old enough to remember. So why can't she stop thinking about Mitch?

Mitch McCormick is a teacher & a former player who had decided it's time to settle down. He's determined to find a nice girl, not his usual type. So why is her so attracted to "a stiletto-wearing, designer bag-toting, full-fledged, first-class, high-maintenance city girl? She's not the type to settle down in a small town & raise a family, is she?

The characters of Mitch & Jade are wonderful! The emotions in the scenes leap off the page at you. Jade's sorrow & jealously are easy to sympathize with. Mitch's honest reaction to Jade' surprise was extremely realistic. To see him honestly grapple with his emotions & decisions & fight his way to a decision adds dimension to those scenes. By bringing in Ian & Gwen throughout the story, the reader is kept up on their story but it adds emotional depth to Mitch & Jade's, too. This book can easily be read as a stand alone but if you read Book 1, you have an added understanding of certain scenes. I loved this book & cant wait to see what the writer brings to One More Moment! ( )
