Another enjoyable story in the "Everyday Heroes" series. Each story is read as a stand alone, although in this story you will meet the main character in the next book ("Storm Clouds").

He show more also discovers her fears when she overreacts to seeing him at work. From there on, Josh will try to get her to trust him and open up to what she is running from. But Lily doesn't want anyone else hurt because of her.

After realizing she has been found, she will have to trust Josh and he will have to let go of his past and realize that he can protect this woman he has fallen in love with.

This was a "heartwarming inspirational romance" just like the front cover says. I finished it in one evening, as once I started, I couldn't put it down until I finished. Have enjoyed all 3 books in the series very much! show less

"In today's society, all she'd really have to do was say back off and he'd have to, or else he could get slapped with a harassment suit."
Damn modern society! Giving women autonomy and rights!

"... Dad insisted my mom let me get the wildness out of my system by encouraging me to take some classes at college."
Higher education in women = wildness. Got it.

"How many times did one of her cheeky little sayings about the equality of women pop up on your [computer] screen ..."
Silly feminists!

WOMEN, RIGHT?
