When he stepped in to help out a city girl, no one expected a “pretend” rescue would lead to something real.
When Glory McCallahan’s cousin moved to Hoker, Kentucky, she felt like she’d lost her best friend. Then, Callie fell in love. To help with wedding arrangements, Glory joins her, but after, the plan is to get back to her perfectly ordered life. Glory has always played it safe, keeping her polished smile in place and her heart on lockdown. No way is she going to let the rugged, too-handsome younger brother of her cousin’s new husband mess with her plans. No matter how infuriating, irreverent, and impossible to ignore Kam may be.
Kam Norwood sees past Glory’s flawless surface, and when he notices she’s being accosted by a wedding guest, he gallantly steps in. What starts as a pretend rescue turns into a night of unexpected sparks. Kam’s not afraid of Glory’s sharp edges—or her secrets. So when the rejected guest turns out to be Glory’s angry ex and things escalate, Kam’s protective instincts kick in big-time.
Turns out, the sizzling attraction may be the one thing that can keep them both safe.
When I First Met You is the sequel to Let Me Be the One. This is Kam and Glory's story. I was really looking forward to reading their romance and I was not disappointed. I really loved this story. It's adorable how Glory and Kam navigate falling for each other. We get to know Glory a lot more and find out that she is a lot different than she seemed in the first book. She just wants to be accepted and part of a family. That is what resonated so much with me in both of the books in this series...the theme of found family. It is often the best kind of family.
Kam, too, starts to realize that despite his origins, people in the town really respect him. That is another great theme in this book. How we often have misconceptions about people, until we really get to know them. I do have to say that my favorite character reversals is that of Liz later on in the book. I won't spoil it, but it's a great scene! If you haven't picked this one up yet or even the first book, what are you waiting for?
