The battle of wills between Willow and Duncan is outrageous and at times, hysterical and totally romantic. Some parts of this were laugh out loud funny. He is the perfect man and right along with Willow, you couldn't help but fall in love with him. Willow was fiery, tender and easy to relate to. A truly romantic novel with danger, adventure, lobstermen, cops, lawyers. A real round robin of characters.
Janet Chapman does it again. Not as good as the first few books in this series but well worth the read. Really remarkable characters in both Willow and Duncan.
Great book! Should read the Seductive Imposter first!
Assistant Attorney General Willow Foster is as committed to protecting Maine's lobster industry as she is to avoiding falling in love. Maine transplant, Scotsman and pub owner Duncan Ross, has her hometown betting on if she'll marry him. As Willow hunts for eco-terrorists, she finds herself caught up in a simultaneous battle with Duncan for her heart.

When an old friend contacts Willow Foster clandestinely regarding a problem with local lobsters, the assistant attorney general decides to investigate, even if it puts her back in contact with her romantic nemesis Duncan Ross.
Everyone in town knows that Duncan has set his sights on Willow, and there's even a betting pool on the outcome. But Willow has serious commitment issues and is leading Duncan on a merry chase. Events take on an ominous air when Willow realizes that someone has been dumping toxic substances near Thunder Island.
Discovering who's doing this and stopping them becomes a priority, but Willow is up against more than she knows. Whether she likes it or not, Duncan is getting involved—he's not about to let anyone threaten his future bride.
It's back to Puffin Harbor for the second Foster sister to get her romantic comeuppance. One thing that Chapman does so deftly is meld great characterization, sparkling humor and spicy adventure into a perfect blend. This is rip-roaring good fun!

ANOTHER CHAPMAN HIT! SHE HAS THE KNACK OF WRITING A BOOK THAT IS VERY INTERTAINING,
Nora Roberts stand aside. Scottish, Paranormal and romance in one grab you and keep you wanting series....

Chapman delivers again in this sexually charged mystery/thriller! If you liked Rachel's story, you'll love her sister Willow's story. It has it all mystery, intrigue, love and a man with a Scottish brogue!

One of the best romance books I have read this year. I was wondering how Janet Chapman would do with contemporary romance, and this book is just great.
