In the small town of Charmed, Texas, plenty of folks have found the path to true love. But now two outsiders have arrived to shake things up . . .
Never one to do things by the book, Micah Roman couldn’t just chalk it up to bridal jitters, or even quietly call off her wedding to her long-time fiancé. No, she has to high-tail it out of the church sporting a dress that cost more than her car, and jump on the back of a smoking-hot stranger’s motorcycle. Her knight in all-black is headed to a town called Charmed, so that’s where she’ll go and try to lay low. Except their appearance raises plenty of eyebrows . . . and a sudden, intense attraction she has no business exploring.
Who knew picking up a damsel in distress would lead to lust at first sight? Leo McKane headed to Charmed prepared to deal with some family secrets—including his status as long-lost brother. This runaway bride is an unexpected distraction his set agenda and loner lifestyle doesn’t include. She’s everywhere he turns, getting under his skin with her quirky, headstrong ways and eyes he can’t forget. But when Micah’s jilted ex comes looking for her and opens up his shady past, Leo knows he has a choice to make.
They both do.
Run to safer ground again? Or take a leap that their untrusting hearts are wary to take.
I love the Charmed in Texas series… each book and each character even better than the last. These books are the type of feel-good romance stories that just give you that happy feeling while you read and you ALWAYS close the book with a satisfied smile on your face. I do it EVERY SINGLE TIME. lol
Charmed at First Sight begins and we find Micah Roman at a crossroads in her life… does she continue down the aisle to marry her fiancé Jeremy after being with him for 8 years or does she jump on the bike of a stranger (aka Leo McKane) to get out of dodge to remember and find who she once was?
I have to say when she jumped on the bike I fist pumped for her strength to find herself, I loved that she trusted in her inner voice telling her that what she was about to do was the right path for her and I fanned myself knowing that we would be in for a freakin HOT RIDE meeting Nick’s older brother Leo. And boy, was I right.
Their chemistry and attraction were palpable from the get-go but I loved the slow burn of this book and Leo’s constant rescuing of our damsel in distress. Not only was he protective but he also held back and showed his patience being able to read Micah and recognizing her fight or flight mentality and always threading with care when it came with her seeing that she wanted her independence, she WANTED to be her own person while also showing her that he had her back.
I had so many questions and so many theories running rampant in my mind while reading this book and WOW when everything connected and I got my answers… just WOW. I love how the author is still able to throw in twists and turns while still packing in the romance and heat and love.
Sharla Lovelace is an author that I can rely on to write great stories… stories that touch my heart and without a doubt make me teary-eyed with emotion. I just love her words and have since the very first book I have read of hers. She has found a lifelong fan and seeing the preview at the end of this book for the next one, I CAN’T FREAKIN WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THE NEXT ONE! GAHHHH!!!
Sharla, you amaze me time and time again and I just LOVE this series (so much so that I wish I lived in it! lol)
