★★★★☆
What happens when Mr. Slow and Steady…

The forecast is smooth sailing for Oliver Chancellor, scion of Galveston’s premier financier. Destined to take his place in the hallowed marble corridors of his family’s bank, Chance is content with the future that’s been mapped out for him, right down to his upcoming engagement to a prim debutante enthusiastically approved by his socialite mother.


Finds himself on a collision course…


But when beautiful Rory St. Claire crosses his path, Chance recklessly plunges into uncharted territory with nothing but his heart to guide him-and a beautiful woman to tempt him…


With Ms. Full-Speed-Ahead?


Propelled by a lifelong goal to buy the island home reportedly haunted by her colorful ancestors, Rory desperately needs Chance’s help in securing a business loan, and she won’t take no for an answer. In the midst of convincing the hesitant blue blood to take a chance on her dream, Rory unexpectedly lands in Chance’s arms, stunned by his red-blooded passion-and her own awakened desire. Now, the mismatched pair can’t keep their hands off one another, and something tells Rory she’s headed for trouble-trouble in the name of love… 


I have to admit... I usually choose (or don't choose) books partially based on their covers.  So shallow, I know!  :)  The cover of this book made me think of 'corny romance novel,' but it had a ton of good reviews over at bn.com.  Plus, it said "USA Today Bestselling Author"... so I decided to give it a try.  I really, really liked Falling for You!  It wasn't a corny romance novel at all!!  The setting is awesome, an old historic home on Galveston island that Rory wants to convert to a bed & breakfast.  Both the setting and the storyline are unique.  I love Rory and Chance.  :)  This book is part of a trilogy, and I most definitely would read the other books in the series.  Recommended!
