During
the annual Montana festival of Midsommardagen, a law enforcement
official must protect a beautiful nurse from her past, thereby breaking his own
vow to never risk his heart.
SYNOPSIS:
Erik
Lindstrom never had much faith in love. He saw his parents’ marriage collapse
and vowed to avoid the same anguish himself. His fiercely protective nature
drew him to a career in law enforcement, where he’s managed to keep himself and
his heart safe…until now.
Katrin
Svenson is in danger. After leaving her home in secret, her only hope for
safety seems to lie in the hands of a man who has steeled himself against her
deep blue eyes and sunny smile. But sparks fly between the nurse and her
handsome protector, and those sparks become fire as Katrin melts the ice
surrounding Erik’s heart. That fire will ward off the dark force determined to
keep their sweet midsummer nights from being an impossibly perfect forever.

I can't express how much I just adore the books that this author writes. She truly is an inspiring person, and I am so glad to have the honor of calling her a friend. Books really do bring people together! :)
This is such a sweet, sweet story, that
will have anyone who reads it, fall absolutely head-over-heals in
love with it! Midsummer Sweetheart is the second book in the Heart of
Montana series that focuses on Katrin Svenson and Erik Lindstrom, if
you've read the first book in the series By Proxy, you'll
recognize this is Jenny Lindstrom's brothers story! What's also
great, is that Katrin is Jenny's husband Sam's cousin! I love reading
books that have returning characters, and that we get to keep up with
what's going on in their lives!! Kind of makes it feel like the book
doesn't completely end...okay maybe that's just me. :)
I adored Kat's character, everything
about her! She's strong, witty, playful, smart, and extremely classy.
There needs to be more characters like her in our real world, that's
for sure.
I felt such a strong connection with
Kat from this book, namely because it seems she and I sort of share
the same history. We both were in a long-term relationship with our
high-school flames, both which ended pretty nasty, although mine
wasn't in a violent manner like hers was. I just wish I had some
tall, blond, Nordic man to whisk me away on an adventure like she
did!
And an adventure they had!
Erik Lindstrom is your run-of-the-mill
player who likes to have his fun with women, but doesn't like the
idea of commitment or the old ball-and-chain. That is, until his
friend Ingrid, asks him for a favor - which involves driving Kat up
north to a new town, new job, and a new life away from her violent
ex-fiance, Wade – who in the beginning of the book, we see that he
is a belligerent alcoholic who doesn't know how to let go of Kat –
it's not like the drive is out of Erik's way, since he is starting a
new job close to the area of Kat's destination. So he sort of
begrudgingly agrees to play chauffeur, but then his childhood
friend/Kat's sister-in-law tacks on the idea for Erik to also check
in on her once a week...
And let the romance begin!
I really enjoyed seeing Erik open up to
the possibility that love does, indeed, exist. From their first
handshake upon being properly introduced, to when they were in the
car on their way up north, and she would she would touch his arm in a
friendly manner, there was this sort of spark, this gravitational
pull, something he couldn't explain, yet he knew that he wanted more.
Then, once he did drop her off at her temporary house and met her
new boss. It was a whole new ballgame for Erik Lindstrom. Or just a
new game of Finders Keepers,
lol!
The
text messages Kat would receive from Erik actually made me giggle out
loud like I was the one receiving them. I loved their witty and
flirtatious banter. What really made me laugh in the beginning was
how Erik was basically trying to tell hims elf he didn't need to get
involved with Sam's Plain Cousin, Poor Little Thing.
She's too vulnerable after a wretched heart break, etc...then he sees
her all dolled up, as this sexy little blonde. Now it's Erik's turn
to say to himself Poor Erik. Poor Thing...
I died LOL, how true was that? His heart never stood a chance for not
falling for Kat!
This book had me grinning from ear-to-ear the entire time, I love it
when I read something and it actually makes me sigh out-loud, or
voice an opinion out-loud. Getting lost in stories like this, is why
I love to read.
Also
PPS...
Yes,
Ms. Regnery, Hallmark Channel should look into making a movie out of
By Proxy *grin*
