PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The residents of Clifton Bend, Tex., discover love when least expected in bestseller Thomas's emotional third Honey Creek romance (after Picnic in Someday Valley). Clifton College biology professor Virginia "Jenny" Clark asks standoffish colleague Dr. Benjamin Monroe for his assistance on a research paper on sexual attraction. Benjamin agrees—and soon realizes that Jenny is the stranger with whom he enjoyed a weekend-long fling during college, though he doesn't believe she remembers him. Meanwhile, Benjamin's research assistant, Ketch Kincaid, a student and former Army Ranger dealing with a difficult breakup, meets and falls for Tuesday Raine, a lonely bartender with a caring heart. And when Houston cop Hank Norton comes to town and accidentally hits librarian Amelia Remington with his motorcycle, he feels compelled to care for her as she recovers. As all three pairs navigate their relationships, a series of bomb threats ups the stakes. Thomas's memorable, refreshingly candid characters are sure to resonate, especially the strong female protagonists. Series fans will be delighted.

Good book
The ending was rushed & left a lot to be desired after an otherwise good book.
