"A Lori Foster book is like a glass of good champagne--sexy and sparkling " --Jayne Ann Krentz WHEN OPPOSITES ATTRACT . . . Bruce Kelly has spent most of his life helping people who are down on their luck, guiding them toward making better lives. He understands that everyone makes mistakes, even if he's never actually done anything but color inside the lines. Nobody's perfect, but Bruce is about to meet a woman who's perfect for him, even though she's everything he's not. He's determined to show her he can be trusted. If that means being an absolute gentleman at all times, so be it. No matter how many cold showers it takes . . . JUST GET OUT OF THE WAY Cyn Potter is a survivor, with a sassy, gallows wit and a fierce independent streak to show for it. She's used to men wanting only one thing, and she's done with big bad wolves in sheep's clothing. But Bruce is different. Totally hands off. Sometimes she sees a hint of fire in his eyes, but he treats her with the respect she's always wanted. Yet, truthfully, he's a guy worth letting down a few defenses for . . . along with a few other things. Maybe somebody needs to help Bruce discover just how perfect being imperfect can be . . .
an amazing story of survival and healing, against all odds.

Based on my (admittedly limited) previous experience with Lori Foster's books, I was expecting another light-hearted and funny basic chick-lit story. Wow - did this book deliver so much more than that, with a deep story of substance! Cyn admirably escapes a childhood of neglect and abuse by running away at age 17. She survives the next five years supporting herself the only way she knows how - by selling her body. With fierce determination, she saves enough money within 5 years to move to small-town North Carolina and reinvent herself, find an honest job, become a productive member of society, make friends and fall in love with the town's understanding and nonjudgmental preacher. Her relationship with Bruce is threatened because it's difficult for her to trust any man, and she feels unworthy of the love of a good man. Cyn's abuser eventually catches up with her, and starts stalkin, threatening and tormenting her. With the love and support of Bruce, and the protection of the entire community, including a mysterious clairvoyant character, Cyn finally finds safety and much deserved happiness.
Another great book by Lori Foster!

Finally, we get Bruce's story. This book is one of a series but can be ready by itself. In Bruce's story, we watch him try to win over Cyn with love and patience. Cyn has had a hard life and it takes someone as special as Bruce to win her love. I loved this book! Lori Foster did a great job with resolving the issues that were keeping the characters apart. The book was a delight to read. I'll be sorry when this series ends, they have all been great stories.
A Sweet, Sexy story! Loved It!

Another Winner !!!What happens when an ex-hooker and a preacher meet in a truck stop in the night? With Lori Foster as the author you know it?s got to be good. And I was not disappointed. Bruce is the twin brother of Bryan from The Secret Life of Bryan. The heat was there as in all of Lori?s stories, but this one was just a little different. This book has a little bit of everything- mystery, romance, and suspense. It has jumped right to the top of my favorite Lori Fosters books. And very near to top of all romance/suspense books on my favorite list. If you a fan of Lori Foster?s books you will enjoy the trip back to Visitation N.C. and revisit Joe and Luna from Say No to Joe? Bryan and Shay from the Secret Life of Bryan. Of course there is Jamie Creed.Lori Foster know how to make you want revisit Visitation again and again.
