This book is a solid "meh" in the romance department. Sara Stone is driving down a highway in blinding rain when she loses control. Rescued by a large dog and his owner, ex-cop Adam Callahan, Sara finds herself trusting this man and falling in love.

Love doesn't take a few days, as in this book. My willing suspension of disbelief only goes so far. Also, Sara is running from an abusive boyfriend. At one point, she knows that he has followed her into the small town in the Ozarks where Adam lives. Instead of waiting for him to escort her to a church social, she goes with a 13-year-old whom she's befriended. Stupidity like that should be painful.

The characters aren't all that memorable and, while the scenery described might be nice, that doesn't make up for the distinct lack of plot. Hansen has written other books that I've liked, particularly "The Perfect Couple" and her sense of humor again shows here, but this book feels rushed.
