BOOK REVIEW- TWO OF A KIND

 BOOK REVIEW- TWO OF A KIND-Felicia Swift never dreamed she'd hear a deep, sexy voice from her past in tiny Fool's Gold, California. The last time Gideon Boylan whispered in her ear was half a world away…on the morning after the hottest night of her life. Her freaky smarts have limited her close friendships, and romance, but she came to Fool's Gold looking for ordinary. Gorgeous, brooding Gideon is anything but that...   Black Ops taught Gideon that love could be deadly. Now he pretends to fit in while keeping everyone at arm's length. Felicia wants more than he can give—a home, family, love—but she has a lot to learn about men…and Gideon needs to be the man to teach her.
As these two misfits discover that passion isn't the only thing they have in common, they just might figure out that two of a kind should never be split apart.  AMAZON I gave it 4STARS

While the subject of how Felicia was raised was kind of unlikely and odd, I went with it.  It made for a different angle to her part of the story.   Like the book blurb said, she was scary smart but incredibly socially awkward.    It made for some funny times and conversations. She was just so darn likable, it made you wish the best for her. Even though she often left some of her new friends in Fool's Gold temporarily stunned, they came to really like her.  It was fun to watch how at times when someone was joking with her and she didn't realize it at first.  She was giving facts and then catching a clue here and there began to see that they were teasing.   
Gideon was numb.  Period.   It was a coping method that he needed to survive his time as a P.O.W. of sorts. He saw love as a weapon that been used against and destroyed the other men that were captured with him.   He was the only one that made it out alive, so it must be true right?  What a slippery slope.  He didn't know how to come out of that self protective place, wasn't even sure that he wanted to.  
But he hadn't counted on Fool's Gold-a town full of misfits.  Once you were one of theirs, they had your back.
