Completely Smitten by Susan Mallery

From Barnes and Noble:

Haley Foster had lived her entire life in a box. Guided by her preacher father and the residents of her tiny hometown as to what to do, what to wear and even who to marry, she'd lost herself along the way. But no more. Now she was going to live on her own terms and do all the things good preachers' daughters didn't do. Starting with Kevin Harmon.

The injured U.S. Marshal needed a ride from Kansas to his home in Texas. Haley had a car. She figured she owed him a favor. And he knew a lot more about being bad than she did. A few days, just the two of them, in her tiny convertible and intimate hotel rooms…It would be fun, it would be passionate, it would be an experience.
At least, that was her plan. He just didn't know it yet.

I just love Susan Mallery. I haven't met a book I didn't like, in my eyes she can do no wrong. She tells completely sweet stories about people that I like and they have one big bump and then smooth along. I love reading books that are fun and can make me laugh. I love when I like the people in them. I love when they grow and learn become better people by the end. I love when the hero takes up for and saves the heroine. Really, I do just love her. I also have this thing with guys in uniform (obviously). So I generally like stuff with police, fire, military, something uniformish in one of the characters.
I just loved Haley. She was great. She was naive, yet somehow not completely dumb. She views thing in a refreshing way. She shouldn't have made a strong female character role that I would like, but somehow she did.
I liked Kevin. He didn't come in and take over. He saw what she needed and let her do what she needed to. He took over when he deemed it necessary, but mostly he let her work her own stuff out. That's pretty important.
Loved it, not my favorite, but I still enjoyed it a whole bunch!
