REVIEW: Cole Westmoreland, freshly retired from the Texas Rangers, has decided to move to Montana and go into business with his siblings and cousins. But his decision to show up three weeks early as a surprise causes him pain instead when he is involved in a car wreck. When Patrina Foreman, the town’s OB/Gyn, and the widow of the former Bozeman sheriff, happens upon a semi-conscious Cole in his wrecked rental car she takes him home. Cole awakens in pain, in a bed and a room he doesn’t recognize, but he does recognize Patrina. She is the one woman who has managed to captivate him each time he’s come to Bozeman, to visit his family. And Patrina realizes Cole is awake without ever turning around, because she has been able to feel him since they first laid eyes upon each other a year ago. Will Cole be able to win her heart after she’s vowed to never get involved with another law enforcement officer again? Cole thinks that with help of a blizzard that he may just succeed.
In COLE’S RED-HOT PURSUIT, Cole has a “take no prisoner’s” attitude when it comes to Patrina, and because his relatives are already aware of his feelings for her, they are encouraging even though they feel he’s fighting an uphill battle. I liked the fact that Cole knew what he wanted, stated his case and then did everything he could to get her. I understood Patrina’s fears, but I felt like she should have gone to counseling to help her better deal with her husband’s death; instead of putting herself “on the shelf”, as Cole called it. After all she is a doctor and knows better.
Ms. Jackson married off the last of Corey’s triplet’s with a bang. Two of my friends called me because we were reading the book at the same time and all each of us had to say was, “the kiss”. If you haven’t read it, you’ll have to do so to find out what that means.
