About the Book:
Can first love turn into the real deal in a sizzling new Fool's Gold story from New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery? Isabel Carlisle thinks she's cursed in the romance department. Her teenage crush, Ford Hendrix, ignored all her letters. Her husband left her for another...man. So Isabel has come home to dust off her passion for fashion and run the family bridal shop until her parents are ready to sell it. Then she'll pursue her real dreams. At least, that's the plan, until sexy, charming Ford returns and leaves her feeling fourteen all over again....
Seeing Isabel all grown up hits bodyguard trainer Ford like a sucker punch. Back when heartbreak made him join the military, her sweet letters kept him sane. Now he can't take his eyes—or his lips—off her. The man who gave up on love has a reason to stay in Fool's Gold forever—if three little words can convince Isabel to do the same....
My Thoughts:
A friend suggested this author (any of her books), and I happened to see that my library had this one of hers. I am so glad they happened to have it! Super cute story, love the town of Fool's Gold from the book, and love all of the great characters. My only complaint is that the book ends rather abruptly, but that seems to be the standard with romance novels. I got the ending I was hoping for, but I hoped for a little more to the story after it. I know that this is a pretty big series of books featuring the people of Fool's Gold, though, so I assume a little more of Ford and Isabel's story will be in other books in the series maybe. I plan to read more of them and look forward to it.
Also, want to note than I am not normally a big fan of romance novels. It's just not the genre I usually choose from. The really smutty ones tend to embarrass me a bit honestly, and often there's not much to the story beyond what takes place in the bedroom. This book had an actual story with developed characters. I really appreciated that, and I plan to read more of Mallery's books because of that. So, if you are hesitant to read romance novels, try out some books from this series. I bet you will enjoy them!
