Review : What I Love About You (Truly, Idaho #3) by Rachel Gibson



Book Blurb



New York Times bestselling author Rachel Gibson returns to Truly, Idaho, and to the fate of sexy SEAL Blake Junger

GIMMEE A B-R-E-A-K!

Ex-high school cheerleader Natalie Cooper could once shake her pom-poms with the best of them. But she's paid for all that popularity—her husband's run off with what's left of their money and a twenty-year-old bimbo named Tiffany. Leaving Natalie to manage a photo store and having to see some pictures she, well, really shouldn't.

GIMMEE A S-H-O-T!

Then she comes toe-to-manly chest with Blake Junger. Exiled to a remote cabin in Truly, Idaho, Blake wants nothing to do with anyone. Instead, he's determined to struggle with his demons and win—all on his own. But the last thing he needs is Natalie distracting him with her luscious curves and breaking down the barriers of his heart.

GIMMEE YOUR H-E-A-R-T!

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

Blake Junger is no longer on Seal Team 6. He is fresh out of rehab for alcoholism. As a result he bought a house in Truly, Idaho with a view of the lake. He needs some separation to maintain control. That ends up being impossible when you live next door to a curious five year old and her hot mom. It gets even harder when you are puppy bombed.

Blake becomes half owner of a black mutt of a puppy, sharing ownership with 5 year old Charlotte. He also wants to know Charlotte’s mom, Natalie, better. He pursues her and starts to fall into her life. Yet he still holds himself apart. When her ex-husband becomes an issue, Blake pretty much stakes his claim on Natalie. However, when things get a little too close for comfort and his control slips, he believes he does the right thing in continuing to separate himself.

I wondered what would happen to Blake after reading about his brother Beau. I was happy to see this next book come out. He obviously was still struggling with his demons and his sobriety. Yet that didn’t affect his alpha male attitude when he encountered Natalie. He became pretty arrogant and bossy. It was fun to watch her complete annoyance with him. However he got paid back when Charlotte decided he was her best friend. He had no idea how to deal with a five year old. I found myself chuckling at his reactions. I could just picture it in my head.

I really liked the characters in this story. Natalie had a really good head on her shoulders and was a strong female character. Her single mom status kept her focused. It placed that type of character in a positive light. She didn’t need to be saved. She took care of herself and her daughter, thank you very much. It was a good read and I give it a 4 out of 5.
