WARNING: Contains violence, reader discretion is advised
Colorado Summer Stars is a pretty standard "woman on the run finds love in small town, then her evil ex arrived" romance. The difference is the author managed to put enough polish to make the book enjoyable and characters sympathetic.
Nicole had enough of her controlling and constantly jealous boyfriend who always gets mad about her waitressing job in San Francisco. When that turned to violence and she got a black eye, she packed up and drove all the way back home to Peakview, Colorado to figure out her life... the place she had sworn she won't go back to, and ran into old high schoolmate... Rick "Scarecrow" Brady. But the thin awkward nerd was no more. Instead, Rick is now a hunky cowboy and a successful vet on his ranch. He had a crush on the most beautiful girl, Nicole, back in school, and now she's back... He went on to woo her, even as she wasn't quite sure she wanted another man in her life... Then her psycho ex appeared in town and made her life hell...
Pretty standard "protector" plot from there on. I'd say his ability to solve the final bit was a bit, shall we say, fortuitous, but it's a novel. We need an HEA. And we got one.
