Very good book. Michael had come to Red Rock to try to talk his cousins into coming back to Atlanta and the family business. He met Felicity the first day he was there and felt an immediate connection to her. It really threw him because he'd never felt anything like it before. But he doesn't believe in romantic love and thinks it is a myth. He believes successful relationships are built on respect and friendship and having things in common. All his family members told him to leave her alone, that he was the type to break her heart. He hates being told he can't do something so he ignores them. Michael finds himself thinking about her constantly and wanting to do things for her. At first he does things like he would in Atlanta, but soon finds that those are not the type of things that appeal to Felicity. I loved seeing Michael as he starts thinking more about her than himself. Felicity is a successful businesswoman who knows what she wants. She is also a great believer in love. She felt the connection with Michael right away also and was convinced she had met "the one". She couldn't understand why everyone was warning her against him because she saw a caring thoughtful man. Both she and Michael end up with some issues they have to face before they can reach their happy ending. I really liked the way that Felicity stood up for herself and her needs. I also enjoyed seeing Michael as he came to realize that his cousins had no intention of returning to Atlanta and how he applied their feelings to his own life. I'm looking forward to finding out more about the reason that sent them all running.

This is a Harlequin special edition contemporary romance. This book was released in February,2013.
Michael Fortune has come to the small Texas town of Red Rock to convince his cousins to come back to work for the company their father and Michael's father runs. The cousins have all moved on happily, so Michael will have a hard time getting them to listen. But since he set eyes on Felicity, his cousin Wyatt's fiance' s best friend, he keeps looking for excuses to stay in Red Rock.
Felicity runs a candy shop with her aunt. She's a sweet girl next door type. When it becomes obvious Michael is attracted to Felicity, he is warned repeatedly to stay away from her. It's too late either way, because Felicity knows at first sight, Michael is her guy, despite his reputation.... until she learns his views on love.
Can the two learn to live with their differences?
I liked the way the story evolved. Michael has a lot to learn about love and romance. He is accustomed to taking charge and planning everything. That backfires on him at first.
Felicity is the one that ends up taking charge , however.
She had to decide if she was alright with what Michael had to offer or if she wanted to hold out for more.
The mystery of what causes the cousins to leave the company is an ongoing story line, so stay tuned.
I give this one a B +
