As a dying request, Shane Dalton's father asks him to visit Destiny, Ohio. Shane doesn't know why his father wanted him to visit this town, but he decides to stop there on his way to Miami for a new job. When a freak snowstorm comes up, Shane's truck slides off the road and he finds himself stranded. He walks to the nearest home and wakes up Candice Sheridan. Candice is reluctant to let him in, but finally relents. She thinks Shane is bad news and wants nothing to do with him. But she soon finds that the damage to Shane's truck means he'll be sticking around town until his wheels are fixed.
I finished Toni's Blake's Destiny series several years ago and didn't know she had added another book. I read the reviews and saw that many readers like this book. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of them. This story dragged for me. Shane seemed like a nice guy and I liked the other characters in the book, but I had problems with Candice's attitude toward him. Candice didn't trust Shane and treated him badly because her old boyfriend left her years ago and now she didn't trust men. She kept calling him a "scary stranger" for the first 100+ pages of the book. Finally, she decided he was a nice guy and she couldn't decide if she should have sex with him. Her inner monologue just went on and on about the situation until the middle of the book. The second half of the book was a little more interesting, but the reason Shane's father wanted him to visit the town was obvious from the start. My rating: 2 Stars.
