Not a fan of the outdoors, Hailey Genest and her friend, Tori, end up lost in the Maine woods. A mountain man stumbles across them and leads them back to civilization. Matt Barnett is a Game Warden on vacation at his family's cabin. He finds the situation amusing, but Hailey doesn't share his humor. When Hailey next sees Matt, he is clean shaven in a uniform. He certainly cleans up well, but Hailey decides to keep her distance since they have nothing in common. That plan only works until Matt moves into the house beside hers.
This book is part of the Kowalski series. Even though she's not a Kowalski, Hailey has shown up in several of the previous books in the series. She's a good friend, always cheering her best friends to the altar. Now it is her turn for a trip down the aisle. I liked both Hailey and Matt, but this book lacked something I just can't put my finger on. There were a couple of funny situations, and the usual small town gossip about the couple. Matt had issues about an old girlfriend who didn't like that Matt's job kept him away at odd hours, and that he sometimes came home a muddy mess. Since the girlfriend hated some of the same things that Hailey disliked, he decided that Hailey would act the same way. I wanted to slap him at one point in the story, but happily he turned his attitude around at the end of the book. My rating: 3.5 Stars.

Shannon Stacy is much better writer than Robyn Carr. Very light and nice story.
