Summary: She vowed to never trust a man again
Review: Cassie Tremont had been burned badly by her first husband's deception. While Cassie had been the loving and devoted wife, Tom had neglected to tell her that he was already married to another woman. Now, with Tom dead and his deception still fresh in her mind, Cassie is determined to steer clear of men. But when she is about to give birth on the side of a road and the only helper available is a man, she has to rethink her plan to keep men out of her life, especially this good looking sheriff who makes her heart flutter!

Sheriff Noah Wheeler was a notorious commitment-phobe, but when he helped bring Cassie's beautiful twin girls into the world, he couldn't help but feel an instant connection with them and their gorgeous mother. Still, Noah knew that he wasn't what Cassie and her twins needed. She needed a forever kind of guy, a man who wasn't afraid of commitment, and that just wasn't Noah. He'd already experienced one bad marriage, thank you very much, and there was no way he was willing to walk down the aisle again, no matter how much he adored Cassie and her daughters!

Quite frankly, this book was not very good. The only redeeming graces in the entire book were the characters of Noah - a truly good guy, who was determined to do right as much as he could - and Brenda, a feisty waitress who stuck up for Noah when no one else in the town did. Cassie was a real jerk, I never grew to like her. She was a man-hater, through and through, and although I may be able to understand why she would be upset, that's no excuse for treating Noah worse than a dog.

The entire support group for Noah's ex-loves was childish. Apparently it was supposed to be funny, that Noah's exes all got together and commiserated about how evil Noah was, but honestly, it wasn't funny at all. It was completely petty. Noah seemed to have a tendency to date psychotic women, and I felt quite sorry for him. His exes were so bitter towards him because he didn't marry them, but I can't see why he would want to marry them! One of his exes complained that Noah had strung her along by preferring to stay at home instead of double-dating (his ex said Noah was supposedly trying out 'married life' by doing so) and by taking her to an event where there was children (his ex said Noah was supposedly trying to show her how good he was with kids). Umm, hello? What planet is this woman from, and how did she ever arrive to those conclusions when Noah had meant no such thing? This book gave women a bad name.

The fact is, all of the women in Noah's life KNEW that he was marriage-shy, and yet treated him like he was the scum of the earth because he didn't marry them. I felt incredibly sorry for Noah, especially since most of the town seemed to agree with his psychotic exes. Even worse, Noah started agreeing with them on how horrible of a person he was because he wasn't married. This book is really geared toward those who hate men, and although I am many things, I am definitely not a man-hater. The only reason I could give this book two stars was the fact that I liked Noah's character so much. This is definitely a book I'll never read again, and I can't recommend it for anyone else to read, either.

Summary: A heartwarming story!
Review: Sheriff Noah Wheeler decided long ago that commitment wasn't his style until he finds himself at the side of the highway with Cassie Tremont, a woman about to deliver twins!

Noah sees himself as the protector of this vulnerable new family. Cassie is not so sure about that. She was badly hurt by her ex-husband and is determined to raise her daughters alone.

This is a heartwarming story of two commitment shy characters who belong together. The secondary characters and the support group of Noah's Ex's add an additonal touch of humor to this book.
