Reed Sisters: Holding out for a Hero #2
Hero for the Asking
She has never met anyone quite like him.
Her sister's friend, Clay McEntire, expresses his offbeat humor in a quirky wardrobe and outrageous flirting, leaving more conservative optometrist Spring Reed wondering if she can believe a word he says. Though she is tempted to indulge in a vacation fling with this sexy, and very eligible bachelor, she can't imagine that anything lasting could come of it.
Impulsive, fun-loving Clay is serious about his work with troubled kids, but very little else … until he meets Spring. He can't help wondering … if he follows her home to Arkansas after her San Francisco vacation, will she keep him? Or send him back to California with his heart in pieces?

Again very average read. Our hero chases the heroine when she comes to meet her sister. They both have lives and commitments elsewhere and the hero gets scared and backs-off. Some months later he visits her & HEA. Again not very compelling.
