Defending Hearts by Shannon Stacey

3.0

I liked this and it was a quick fun read. It's just not my favorite Shannon Stacey book. I liked Gretchen and Alex and I always enjoy the realism in Stacey's books. It's a romance so you know they'll end up together but I like that people have to take jobs, houses, family, way of life, etc. into account before they end up together. Maybe it's a New England thing but I always feel like her books are populated with people I know. I liked Gretchen and Alex but they were both kind of subdued personalities so there was less, kookiness for lack of a better word, than in some of my favorite Kowalski books. But I do enjoy this series set in a very realistic small New England town and I'm looking forward to the next one.
