Opposites attract. My new favorite small town is, Lost Harbor. Dr Bethany Morrison is new to town and the last person she wants to date is fireman, Nate. All of a sudden she needs a fake boyfriend, and he is it. As their friendship develops they can't deny the sexual chemistry that they share. Both with pasts that they must over come to go forward in their relationship though. Loved this book, perfect read with plenty of sexy romance. Lots of banter and fun. Loved the side story of SG too. I highly recommend this book.

A steamy, funny and wonderful addition to the Lost Harbor series by Jennifer Bernard. I had hoped we could get to hear Nate's story and he met his match with Dr. Bethany. I could relate so much to both characters, Bethany who is always trying to please her family and Nate who holds on to some deep grief. The humor, the passion and the wonderful imagery of Alaska, make this the perfect story to curl up in your favorite reading spot and devour in an afternoon (like I did). Each story can be read as a standalone, but do yourself a favor and read them all. Read everything Bernard issues, you won't be sorry.

Dr. Bethany Morrison was always the smart, serious sister, and a people pleaser to a fault. New to Misty Bay Hospital, Bethany tries to catch the eye of a world renown neurologist. Bethany believes if she dates and eventually marries someone wealthy and successful, then her father would be proud of her—finally! But life doesn’t always work out as planned. Bethany requires the help of local firefighter Nate Prudhoe. A moose scared her and she is naked and locked out of her house. Nate’s interest is sparked, but he knows he’s not the man for Bethany. Nate Prudhoe, firefighter and town playboy, doesn’t believe in happily ever after. Through no fault of his own, he’s experienced love and loss. He’s placed walls around his heart so that he doesn’t have to ever experience that kind of pain again. Until Bethany...Nate finds a runaway who’s injured and he needs assistance in caring for her. The more time he spends with the good doctor, the more he starts to care. He doesn’t like that she’s pining away for the neurologist, but isn’t sure he’s what she needs. Loved, loved, loved this novel from the first page to the last. It was humorous, angsty, and suspenseful. I enjoyed Nate and Bethany working together to help the runaway, even putting their jobs on the line. When Nate took Bethany’s dad “golfing”, I about died. Hilarious! Bethany’s struggle to win her dad’s approval was so realistic. Everyone wants their parents to be happy and approve of their decisions. It’s equally sad to realize that sometimes, that’s never going to happen. Nate was supportive and loving to Bethany. I also enjoyed his interactions with her sister. I loved that Bethany was able to help Nate work through his grief. Awesome story! One of my favorites in the series. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.
