Review by Library Journal Review
Discovering she's pregnant on her wedding day and terrified of raising a child with her abusive fiancé, Darby Dixon gathers her courage along with her billowy wedding dress and escapes Fort Hood, TX, heading for Colorado Springs-and, with luck, a fresh start. Scott "Trex" Trexler, former U.S. Marine and FBI agent and now head of security (and back with his previous battle-scarred team) at a top-secret government facility in Colorado Springs, is in search of a new beginning as well-one that he hopes will include Darby. But Darby has no interest in dating, and soldiers, firefighters, cops, and other macho men are definitely off-limits-until she gets to know Trex. A heroine who reclaims her life and her self--respect and a hero who's at her side deal with raging forest fires, lingering trust issues, and a revenge-driven ex. The alternating first-person viewpoints between Darby and Trex give this a new adult/YA vibe. VERDICT Heartfelt emotions, serious social concerns, and exceptional character development result in a touching modern romance with inspirational overtones; a sure winner. Links to the author's early "Maddox Brothers" series will please fans. McGuire (All the Little Lights) lives in Steamboat Springs, CO. © Copyright 2018.
