Blurb:

How can you imagine forever with someone who’s leaving everything behind?

Callahan, a former army sniper, wants to make an escape from his past and everything he experienced at war, but most of all, just not feel. Feeling leads to pain and he’s suffered enough. When he inherits a house on South Carolina’s Kiawah Island, he packs his bags, lured by the peace and seclusion he thinks it will bring. But, Callahan never counted on meeting anyone like Trinity . . .

Trinity has always been the cute, and funny one, who most guys overlook in pursuit of her “hot” friends. She became used to being everyone’s pal, until the day the young man she was attracted to, was drawn to her in return. He became her first great love, and first crushing heartbreak when she found him in bed with one of her closest friends.

To move forward, and to carry out her commitment to helping those in need, Trinity enlists in the Peace Corps, but not before returning to Kiawah for one last memorable summer. She just never imagined it would be so unforgettable.

Callahan doesn’t want to get close to anyone—let alone Trinity. He finds her perkiness insufferable and her attempts to entice a smile distracting. After all, he’s in Kiawah to leave all feelings behind. But when it comes to Trinity, who feels everything, it’s hard not to feel something.

Neither expected to fall in love. And no one could have predicted how inseverable they’d become.

Review:

Trinity is bubbly, fun-loving, patient, and sweet. All traits that Callahan finds it difficult to ignore. Although he’s struggling to rebuild his life and to deal with PTSD, he finds her presence surprisingly refreshing. At first he tries to push her away – in his own kinda-gentle way, but when she doesn’t take the hint (a hint she’s aware of but chooses to ignore), he finally succeeds in getting her to back off. Unfortunately, he can’t deal with that either.

She breaches his defenses and scales his emotional walls, bringing her close-knit group of friends right along with her. However, she’s keeping a secret that has the power to destroy him.

I’ve read other books by Robson; and although I enjoyed them, I must say this one is my favorite so far. I found myself laughing out loud several times. Trinity is a very unique character, and partnering her with the brooding Callahan was pure genius. I loved the whole superheroes thing; and although there was a little drama here and there, there wasn’t anything too dramatic. I was drawn to all of the characters, not just the H/H and the way the subplots are intertwined showcased Robson’s talent. The age difference (nothing obscene, of course) between them and the fact that Cal had experience a lot more life than Trinity helped balance them out. She showed him how to live a little and her actions fit her age. She wasn’t immature, but didn’t act older either.

The sexual tension and flirting between them were the optimum prelude to their physical intimacy. The climax is strong without being “too much”, and the ending wrapped up everything exquisitely. There’s a hint at what’s to come next. Not a cliffhanger, but more than enough to keep readers interested and anxious for the sequel.

Rating system: Cups of Coffee (the less the better)

0: You won’t need any coffee to stay up for this one. It’s intriguing enough all on its own.
1: You’ll stay up late, but not all night. Brew one cup.
2: You’ll read as long as you’re not tired. If you are, two cups should do the trick.
3: I hope you got plenty of rest; you’ll need it, or at least 3 cups.
4: If the cable goes out, read the book. It’s better than nothing, I guess. Oh, don’t forget your brew!
5: Find anything else to do- it doesn’t matter what it is. Don’t waste your coffee. Too much caffeine is bad for you.
