Publisher's Summary

Warning: Contains a sexy former Marine, a stubborn, independent woman, and an incurably romantic BFF with matchmaking tendencies.

Welcome back to Wishful, Mississippi, full of eccentric characters and Southern charm, where author Kait Nolan delivers another heart-warming story of a strong, successful woman and the equally strong man who learns how to be her partner.

Liam Montgomery is the last person who'd call himself a hero, but he does have a tendency to try to save the world. Now that he's left the Marine Corps and returned to Wishful, he feels out of place and unsure of what comes next. He does know one thing: The girl who used to look up to him like a brother is all grown up. No way he can see her as a little sister now. And she won't give him the time of day.

Riley Gower isn't holding out for a hero. In fact, a knight in shining armor is the last thing she wants. She's been watching her mother chase that fairy tale for most of her life, with Riley the one left to pick up the pieces of unhappily ever after. Running Wishful's downtown pharmacy is a dream Riley's worked toward for years. Now that the business is finally hers, the realities of the current economy have made it seem like the dream is falling apart. So when her mother calls expecting yet another rescue, Riley feels like she's spread thinner than the last pat of butter at Sunday dinner.

It's hard enough for a woman like Riley to admit she could use a hand, but mixed up with the embarrassment of a childhood crush and the devastating attraction sizzling between them? No way. Liam is determined to help, but taking down insurgents is less complicated than infiltrating Riley's defenses. This will require reinforcements. And a plan.

Engaging and Entertaining

If you want to listen to a book that will leave you happy and smiling, this is that book. It brings together a former Marine and a fervently independent pharmacist. They’ve know each other almost all their lives, but unknown to either is their shared longing for each other. Of course, there are a bunch of misunderstandings on both sides and a disaster or two, mix them all together and you have a wonderful, joyful tale peppered with humor. I will definitely be listening to this book, again.

The writing is sharp, humor-filled, and keeps you engrossed. The narration perfectly fits the story and gives distinct voices to each of the many characters. I’ve been so impressed with Ms. McFadden’s work that I’ve bought more audiobooks that she has narrated.

The ending of this book is sigh worthy in the best way. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in this book if you enjoy light romantic comedies. All around, this is an A+ listen.

I received this book as a gift from the author. All comments in this review express my honest reactions to this audio book. While I appreciate the author’s generosity, it had no influence on my opinions on this audio book.

Cute Southern love story.

Another cute southern romance by Kait Nolan! Well worth the read, very well written, and the damsel in distress is not over done.
