I think I need a paramedic! A hot sexy one named Aaron. I really don't care that Devon is the heroine of this story - I'll step in in a heartbeat! 

When guilt and pain hit you after the devastating news that your husband has been killed, what do you do? If you're Devon you hightail it out of there and try to run from all the pain. But when Gigi dies she's forced to return to the place she's been running from for 5 years.

A couple of nosey community members, a scraggly dog, a hot paramedic, and Gigi's will are all working against Devon's goal of getting out of dodge as soon as the will's terms have been fulfilled.

If you like a mixture of sweet, spicy, and downright HOT this is the book for you.

I want to thank Ms. Pepper for her character portrayal of the mindset of a widow. It wasn't glossed over, made to seem trivial, and wasn't meant to be annoying and full of angst. Her accuracy lent such credibility to this book.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review - and here ya have it! <3
