My Thoughts

Love comes at the most unexpected times.

 Colby has been jilted once before and has no intention of falling in love again. However, when he finds Naomi and rescues her from an attack he starts to become unsure. Slowly, but surly this woman is turning his whole world upside down. Naomi wants to trust Colby, but fears he is sent by the army to arrest her for a crime she can't remember. This is a story of hope, love, and second chances. The romance was nicely paced and there was definitely some mystery surrounding Naomi. I had a great time figuring out what had happened to Naomi and seeing these two slowly fall in love.

Naomi is a frightened young girl with a strong heart. She has been through some rough times, but still fights for her life. She was sweet and kind I had a great time getting to know her. I also liked seeing her grow as a person throughout the story. She was fun and courageous and it was easy to see how Colby could fall in love with her.

Colby is an honorable man who has not had the best luck in love. He is tough and works hard for what he's got. I really enjoyed getting to know him and seeing his softer side when it came to Naomi. He was a tough one to crack, but eventually he was head over heels for Naomi. They are a great pair and I loved seeing them together.

For a sweet romance and fun mystery check out "To Have and To Hold".
