Hero has saved the President's life from an attempted assassination and is hiding out from the press. Heroine is a single mom and a writer. It was pretty good but after finishing it I have decided I like her historicals better. (Grade: B-) (  ) reneebooks | Sep 8, 2009 |  Good Beach Read ( ) KC9333 | Jun 6, 2009 | Very interesting book. The start of it was a bit hard to get into but once I pushed through and was a couple chapters in and the setting was constructed alongside an interesting plot line I read it fairly quickly. I have suggested it to a few people who want an interesting, light read to we their reader apettite. And have recently purchased another book by Susan Wiggs, "Just Breathe" I am going to read next. ( ) Pheonix | May 23, 2009 | This story starts with Jordan Donovan "JD" Harris who worked as a special force medic. On Christmas Eve as the President of the United States is coming to visit the wounded. Before JD can blink in a moment everything for him changes, when he puts his life on the line for the President. Overnight JD becomes a true American Hero and his life is no longer his own. The media exploits him in every light from his saddened childhood with his reformed alcoholic mother who has a relapse due to the meida. Also, with his good looks women are calling 911 and committing stupid acts to be saved by him, that actually lands one woman in the hospital on her death bed. JD cannot take this anymore, so his friend Sam has a cottage up on the lake that is remote and out of the way so JD turns to solitude for the summer hoping the media will lose interest in him. Kate Livingston single mother to nine year old Aaron has recently been fired from her job as a fashion editor and with school out for the summer heads to her family vacation cottage to escape life herself. I was actually enjoyed the story until these two meet up immediately there is no chemistry between Kate and JD, the interactions with Aaron are more real. The book is to long and spends to much time on everyday happenings that don't mean anything to me. This is my first contemporary by her, but I will give her others a try. http://historicalromancemel.blogspot.... (  ) ancestorsearch | Aug 6, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
Each summer, Kate Livingston returns to her family's lakeside cottage, a place of simple living and happy times -- a place where she now hopes her shy little boy can blossom. But her quiet life gets a bit more interesting with the arrival of an intriguing new neighbor, JD Harris. Although she is a confirmed single mother and knows little of JD's past, Kate is soon drawn into the sweetness of a summer romance and discovers the passion of a lifetime.
JD has good reason for being secretive. In a moment of sheer bravery the Washington, D.C., paramedic prevented a terrible tragedy. Overnight the intensely private man became a national hero. He's hardly able to remember who he was before the media frenzy . . . until he escapes to this lovely, remote part of the Northwest. Now Kate Livingston and her son have rekindled the joy of small pleasures and peace, something he thought he'd never have again. But how long will his blissful anonymity last before reality comes banging at his door?
