Dr. Meredith Quinn always planned to return to Gossamer Falls to practice dentistry. Now that she's back home, she's made it a point to offer clinics to children and adults in nearby underserved areas. Unfortunately, those same areas are known to harbor drug traffickers, and Police Chief Grayson Ward suspects that local law enforcement is looking the other way.
After too many losses, Grayson has closed off his heart. But when Meredith enters his life, his walls crumble, and he's left exposed and vulnerable. To keep her alive, he must keep her close, but that makes it impossible for him to retreat and rebuild. Will she be the one who finally helps him emerge from isolation? Or will this force of nature leave him shattered?
I love the entire Quinn gang and the cozy small-town vibe of Gossamer Falls. Meeting up with Cal, Landry, Bronwyn, Mo, and Meredith again was so much fun and getting to know Gray the chief of police was very cool. I loved Meredith's heart of gold and her tendency to run headlong into trouble. Gray with his stoic, steadfast presence was the complete opposite of Meredith's bubbly nature but they complemented each other nicely. The suspense component of the plot was riveting with lots of twists and turns. The brother's best friend trope (or in this case cousin's best friend) worked well to bring Meredith and Gray together. I enjoyed the faith thread particularly in Gray's life where he had to reconsider what God's will for his life might be. Seeing Cal and Landry incredibly happy after their harrowing experience in the first book was a bonus; I can't wait to read about Bronwyn and Mo next!
