While there, mysterious threats and dangers suddenly enter her life that bring about an unexpected man of her dreams--Michael Callahan.

MY REVIEW / THOUGHTS:

I have been in a reading slump lately, but was so excited when I was contacted by the author and asked to review this book!  I got me out of my funk.  It was so good.  I love love stories, with mystery involved.

Jenna has been avoiding her hometown for quite a long time.  When the airline she is working for sends her back to Montana and her hometown she starts to realize that family is more important.

Jenna was in a bad relationship and was on the verge of deciding to keep it going because it was comfortable or moving on.  When she meets a handsome man named Michael.  Micheal is yummy.  He comes with baggage, but boy is he yummy.

While at a wedding, Jenna was talking to an Aunt and she told her that someday her "real" father could maybe walk her down the isle.  Jenna had very few memories of her father, and thought her Aunt had misspoke.  Then she proceeds to tell her that her mom was pregnant before she married her dad with someone else's child.  

This opens up a who new book for Jenna.  She is determined to find out who her birth father is.  Once she starts looking strange things start happening to her.  She is getting followed, people are running her off the road, and getting strange messages.  Jenna has no idea what she has done to attract such attention.

The story just gets better and better the further you read.  I love mystery, and when love is involved it makes it an even better book.  This has such a great ending!  I loved this book from the very beginning to the very end.  

If you are in the market for a romantic mystery, you should pick this one up.  The writing is beautiful, and the setting is so lovely.  Just an all in all good book.
