The Awakening
IT TAKES A VERY SPECIAL MAN TO WIN THAT SPECIAL WOMAN...
Use-em-and-lose-em bounty hunter Flynn quickly sized up handy bystander Sara Marie McAllister: a sweet, shy, small-town woman who buried her bountiful curves and slumbering sexuality beneath baggy sweats and a passion for the piano. In short, the spinet-playing spinster was an easy mark for Flynn's impressive repertoire of five-finger exercises...
So how did 'that nice McAllister girl' so thoroughly sabotage his cynical serenade? Butting into an ambush, she ended up in his arms. Whoa! Was Sara some she-devil in sheep's clothing...out to outfox the feral Flynn?
THAT SPECIAL WOMAN! She's friend, wife, mother -- she's you! And beside each Special Woman stands a wonderfully special man.

Sara lives in a small town where everybody knows everybody and her life is an open book. When she takes in boarders to meet expenses, she unwittingly rents a room to an international criminal hiding out from a bounty hunter, John Flynn.What follows is a wild ride where Sara discovered that she is anything but boring and predictable.

Just found this book in an old box and I remembered that it was one of the last book that my great grandmother read before she died. It was one of the things I have in common with her. The passion for reading. So I decided to read it.
First of all great grandma loved here stories and let me tell you this one is quite a steamy one. Not sure what I like the best the story or me thinking about my great grandma reading this book. She was the kind of lady that would help any body and did and she also went to church every day until the day she died. Many times I laughed out loud.
I just saw that they had made a movie for TV based one this book. I will have to check it out! It's the perfect book to read on the beach or a long car ride.

I love this book - if I hadn't seen the film I would have given it 5 stars. But seeing the film first ruined it for me, Really good book though
