Pumpkin pie and cinnamon had always been Dax’s favorite autumn smells. Not death and regret.
Detective Daxton Wilder only wants one thing—to see Boston mob boss Richard DiNoble behind bars. After spending time undercover in DiNoble’s organization, Dax is close to reaching his goal. Only DiNoble is a step ahead. When Dax wakes up, he has two bullet holes in him from the mob boss, and his twin brother, Harris, has dumped him at Liberty Hill Nursing Home. Pissed at the bucket of suck his life has become, Dax vows to get out of Liberty Hill as fast as he can.
Until his physical therapist walks in.
Shaylee Keene, Liberty Hill’s top physical therapist, can only charm men eighty and older. That much is clear. Her last boyfriend delivered the painful news that he wasn’t attracted to her anymore. Out of the blue. As if it had just occurred to him one morning that she no longer satisfied him. What if she couldn’t satisfy any man? What if she was destined to be alone forever? What if no one ever wanted her?
Now she has a new patient.
As Shaylee works with Dax and the pair tries to avoid DiNoble’s revenge, they find that nothing mends a broken body—and lonely hearts—like falling in love.
An interesting spin off from the original start of the series. I went into this thinking we would get a story for Adam's sister or maybe one of the cops from the last book. I was surprised by the book taking place in a whole new state and city, even introducing new characters. It was not a bad thing at all and the story still had some visits from past characters. Detective Wilder is hurt and has to go to rehab at the Liberty Hill Nursing Home. Home to the older variety humans, Wilder is a bit out of place as he is the youngest patient there. But when he meets his physical therapist Shaylee, his stay doesn't seem so bad. This book has a bit of danger and adventure to it. Wilder is a strong character with a intense personality. Shaylee's character is nurturing and caring. She is sweet and lovable. Her friends are quirky and fun. I love patient and doctor romances. I find them to be sweet and endearing. This book has that and so much more. I loved that plot and the way the author laid out the story, keeping it interesting with some fun twists. The danger level is about a 5 out of 5. With some very gruesome details involving murder and kidnapping. Overall this book was a wonderful story with an amazing character line up. It has a bit of every emotion you could think of including fear and love. The book is a steady paced adventure and a page turner. I can not wait to see what is next in this world of Maple Leaf.
