About this ebook

Independent and outspoken, Grace Burgess is everything her conservative parents think she shouldn’t be. To their way of thinking, she should be settling down, not dreaming of adventure. But Grace wants to visit new places and see new things, without having to worry about her parents or being tied down to a man. Then she meets Ray.

Ray Bedford isn’t looking to meet 'the one'. He’s perfectly content to continue his bachelor ways and to work his job as a firefighter with the Gatlinburg Fire Department. But when he meets Grace, he's more than willing to reconsider his single guy status.

There's no doubt that there's a spark between Grace and Ray. And though Grace feels it, she's determined to live her life on her terms, even if means pushing the charming firefighter away. Her resolve is tested when Ray is involved in a near-fatal accident on the job. Facing the thought of losing him, Grace is forced to confront her feelings and decide which she wants more: her independence or the man she loves.

Ratings and reviews

Trite and full of cliches. There were a lot of grammar mistakes and typos that made reading it difficult at times. The main female character has some spark... But there is no real conflict. It's just the story of a very young couple who have a perfect and loving relationship. It was a bit boring, to be honest.

Wonderfully written book! I enjoyed reading this one and loved it!

A very nice book .I loved reading it . Thank you .
