He doesn’t believe in love…
Traveling nurse Janie Atwood
has come to Cold River to uncover old family secrets and maybe, if she’s
lucky, find a new home. That the gorgeous, glowering sheriff next door
thinks her caring for his elderly neighbor is a nefarious scheme is a
bonus. Having never been anything but a good girl, Janie finds Zack
Kittredge’s simmering suspicion an excellent reason to try being a
little dangerous instead…
She doesn’t believe in squandering it…
Sheriff Zack Kittredge is okay with being… intense. He takes his loner
status as seriously as he takes his responsibilities to protect Cold
River. And he thinks cheerful Janie might be a threat to the town. But
the more he gets to know her, the more he faces the truth—she’s brighter
than sunshine and he’s like a moth to her flame. When Janie suggests he
could use a few charm school lessons, he surprises them both by
accepting. He doesn’t need help. But it’s clear he might need her…
Because the only thing hotter than the summer sun in the Rockies is the forbidden passion that burns between them…

Funny. And Janie and her nervous talking? Hilarious. Her clumsy accidents while embarrassing to her were smile worthy for me.
Zack was a VERY intense, private and kind of sternly forbidding man especially when he first meets clumsy Janie. But it was also so much fun to see them struggle with each other before the sexual heat took over. I did get a kick out of the title that he affectionately gave Janie, of "little outlaw." Janie loved it because she was so over being in the friend zone with men or simply overlooked.
There's plenty of emotions in the story besides just the Janie and Zack deal. And I fell totally in love with that "character", Damaris Gardiner. Janie was supposed to be her nurse but watching their relationship turn into friendship was so good.
I liked how the story finished as so many people working out their kinks in relationships. My final word on this story is that it was also "charming."
I received an ARC through Netgalley and these are my honest thoughts about it.
