The man takes flirtation to a whole new level. And he does it shirtless…sometimes pants-less. He and his service school-dropout dog are impressively persistent. But she’s not interested in putting down roots. Not when fans tune in to watch her travel the country turning dilapidated houses into dream homes. A short-term fling on the other hand could fit nicely into her calendar. After all, Maggie remembers what fun is like. Vaguely.
As their summer gets downright steamy, Silas manages to demolish the emotional walls she’s spent years building, sending Maggie into a panic. He’s the wrench in her carefully constructed plans. With the end of the project looming, she has a decision to make. But how can she stay when her entire career is built on moving on?
Rating: 5 stars
Review: This enjoyable read has a lot going on, all of which I very much enjoyed: a sweetheart of a leading man who falls fast and hard, a tough leading gal whose trust in people needs to be rebuilt (and with very good reason), an adorable service-dog-dropout hound who steals the show, and a supporting cast that enhances the story significantly. While the book is indeed long, I personally think that's a good thing when the story moves along well and the characters are likeable (such as is the case here); I'm definitely not complaining about getting to spend more time in this world of Kinship that Ms. Score created. While this book is certainly built around the budding romance between Maggie and Silas, and it's got an interesting little mystery running through it, I'd say the most important aspect of the story revolves around the relationships being both developed and repaired. The plot is different and the ensemble cast enjoyable, ensuring that this story is one that will stand out in my memory rather than get lost among so many others.
