Here’s what reviewers say about Gentle on my Mind

 

"...an entertaining romance starring Brooke Kincaid, aged 43, a recovering alcoholic living with bipolar disorder, and redeemed mother of the first book’s hero. Dedicated to keeping herself stable, Brooke is shaken when RCMP corporal Jake Brannon crashes through her fence on his motorcycle, bleeding from a gunshot wound. He needs help with a drug-related murder investigation; she knows Caribou Crossing, British Columbia, and can give him valuable inside information. Their inconvenient attraction is swiftly resolved by sex that demonstrates Brooke’s increasing self-confidence and Jake’s unconscious desire for family despite believing himself incapable of love. Jake sees Brooke more clearly than she sees herself, and Brooke teaches Jake that he is worthy of affection. Their realistic romance is emotionally engaging”

"Fox’s latest is a heartfelt romance set in the tranquil town of Caribou Crossing. Brooke is wonderfully flawed, very real and very relatable, and the romance between her and Jake is as genuine and sweet as their attraction is intense. The author’s expert storytelling, combined with a tender plot, brings warmth to the heart.

Just as ex-alcoholic Brooke Kincaid has gotten her life together, a man on a Harley crashes through her white fence and into her life. Cop Jake Brannon is wounded and in need of cover. He is also handsome and full of raw masculinity that stirs feelings inside of Brooke that she thought had disappeared. Though Jake reminds her of her ex-boyfriend physically, she senses that he is a more decent man. With sizzling passion raging between them and her heart softening toward Jake, change has come — but will it be for good?”
