     I wasn’t looking for forever.
    Especially not with the town’s new nurse who stirs up more trouble than I can handle.
    Jessie King is stubborn, wild, and too beautiful for my peace of mind.
    I told myself we were just fun.
    A dance here.
    A kiss there.
    But then she showed up on my doorstep in the middle of the night…
    And I realized she wasn’t a fling.
    She was everything.
    Problem is, I broke the one thing she doesn’t give easily—trust.
    Now it’s up to me to prove there’s no one else I want to come home to.
    Even if it means risking the heart I swore I'd never put on the line again.

    While part of the Woodbrook series, Pete and Jessica's story is a standalone romance.

     

     

    MY REVIEW- 5 STARS Title: OFF THE CHARTS GOOD !!

    I loved the dual POV'S of Jessica and Pete. I loved all the "sparkling" conversations between them. Funny and at times intense. At least Jessica was intense, lol. I loved how Pete had developed a "love",for limeade. Jessica, smirks and is arrogant with Peter, repeating over and over that SHE is the nurse, so Pete get out of my way ! I may be new in town but I work at a clinic here and I know my job!! Pete is the calm guy in the story ! He just lets her steam and work it out . I loved that and the fact that you could just tell there was more to Pete than she saw at first glace. ! When she found out he was a hairdresser by profession? Oh, boy ! She let him have it !!
    Jessica is the Firecracker as he often tells her. It's funny ! Pete was adorable, calm, multi-skilled and not easy to offend. But trust me, Jessica finds a way ! And finally hurts him in a big way ! He walks away. This is not the first misunderstanding that they've had but this one is huge. So big that the town is almost placing bets on are they on or off as a couple ! The emotions throughout the book are great, the angst and then this last blowup kept me even more dialed into the story.
    Their friend Paisley and her Greek fiance, were front and center in the story with them and I loved the interactions. And not to forget Helen, Nick's Greek mother. She doesn't speak English? Jessica is beginning to think that's not he case. At one point even calls her a sly fox. Helen quickly became one of my favorites after we got through her crusty exterior. It was funny how NO ONE dared cross her. Her son, Nick was a BILLIONAIRE and he still never said NO to her. It got Hysterically funny ! Especially when Helen became the silent(?) unwanted matchmaker between Jessica and Pete !

    The ending was spectacular. There is also a preview of "Falling for the Coach". Oh no. Now I want to read that one too !
