Georgie Quinn has been back in her hometown of Newport, RI, since she hurried home to care for her mother. When her mother died after a short illness, Georgie finds herself stuck working as the director of the senior center her mother founded until a replacement can be hired. Grief stricken and wanting to get back to her life in Atlanta, Georgie has a one-night stand with the gorgeous cop, Nathan Caldwell, that jogs past her house every day. But Nate has other ideas. He doesn't want a one-night stand...he wants a relationship. Now it's up to him to change Georgie's mind.

This is a standalone contemporary romance and one of Marie Force's older titles. Georgie made it known from the start that her staying in Newport was a temporary situation. But she kept giving mixed signals to Nate who was only too happy to try to convince her to stay. The whole thing got a bit tiring.

Other parts of the book were very good. Georgie's two roommates, Cat and Tess, hooked up with Nate's brothers, Ian and Ben. I actually liked these secondary romances better than Nate and Georgie's story. We also got to meet some of the people who frequented the senior center. Good Gus and Bad Gus were two of my favorites.

Overall, this was an okay contemporary romance with a lot of interesting secondary characters making it more appealing. My rating: 4 Stars.
