Emotional in the best of ways, but sweet and sensual I loved You Send Me! ~ Slick, Guilty Pleasures
Blurb:
Jordan Velsor didn’t want to need anyone. After dumping her cheating fiancé, caring for her sick dad, and nearly being crushed along with her car during a violent storm, she’s pretty much at her breaking point. If anyone needs some luck, it’s Jordan, but the last thing she wants is gorgeous Nick Rinaldi, her landlord’s grandson, hovering over her while she nurses a bad cold. The wounded Navy doctor seems too good to be true… which means he probably is.
Nick Rinaldi left the Navy broken and adrift, wondering if he would ever practice medicine again. When his grandparents’ tenant is almost killed by a falling tree during a storm, he discovers Jordan is not only in shock, but suffering from pneumonia. Not one to miss an opportunity to play white knight, Nick arrives at her cottage to take care of her during the storm… But the lovely teacher has a a fierce independent streak, and as he learns more about her, he wants to do more than merely help.
Can Jordan and Nick let go or their separate pasts and seize their future together?
Two people broken in their own way are forced together during an illness and a storm where their friendship blossoms into more following a
misunderstanding and a whole lot of town gossip in You Send Me the second book in author Jeannie Moon’s Compass Cove series.
The night before her wedding to a prominate attorney in town, Jordan Velsor finds her fiancé screwing his secretary on his desk and despite is and his family assuring her that she was overreacting and “these things happen” and he was just a “red blooded man” Jordan knew she would never be the kind of wife who overlooked her husband’s affairs even if her father wanted to see her settled and happy. I admired her dedication to her ailing father and the love she had for her students, landlords, and friends.
HOLY HOT GOOD GUY HERO ALERT….whew, despite Nick Rinaldi’s baggage he is so my kind of hero. One of those men who always puts other’s first, had everyone’s best interest at heart, and while he wants everyone else to share their troubles with him, he is a vault when it comes to his own life. I adored his relationship with his grandparents and they way he cared for Jordan when she was ill despite her protest.
I honestly loved this book from the start and the way their relationship was on a slow burn despite their almost immediate “engagement.” I did get a bit tired of Nick’s refusal to share his load and Jordan’s demands that she needed him to open up to her, it seemed like we were continually beat over the head with the argument. Bless Nick’s grandparents who also happen to be Jordan’s landlords for their meddling and good hearts. There was just something so refreshing about this book and while there were moments of sadness and grief, there was also a lot of joy.
