Sam fills the Big Bad Wolf persona with his surly attitude, yet Cricket sees past that image to the broken man inside, which sets up the slow burn of their relationship. Sam's past adds a suspenseful element, as well as providing the catalyst for an opposites attract scenario. Misty Bottoms is an ideal location for a contemporary romance because it acts as a character in itself, capturing the essence of a small southern town to perfection. - RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars EVERY BRIDE HAS HER DAY by Lynnette Austin is a romance that has it all!
