The Blurb
Is going back Robyn’s only way forward?

American-born Robyn Matthers is going home. With her dad in hospital, his roadhouse in ruins and the ice hockey team slipping down the league, she needs to take charge. But does she have the strength to do it? 

Cole Ryan is a hockey player on a personal mission. He’s tall, dark, hot and Robyn’s noticed! But can she trust her feelings - or his? And what will Cole do when he finds out the truth about her?

Robyn returns to Michigan and things aren’t quite the same. Her best friend has grown up and is thinking about marriage and babies, the ice hockey team is no longer the life blood of the community and her father is engaged!

When Robyn’s twin cousins drag up past events that hold painful memories for her, she and Cole are forced together. But are either of them ready to start something new?

With an ill father, a trailer trash almost step-mom and ex-boyfriend Brad desperate for another chance, does Robyn have time to contemplate a relationship? Does she really want one? And is it physically possible for two people to fall in love in just three days?

Robyn has been living in England for 9 years. Her father is ill in hospital.  She returns home to Michigan to take charge of her father's roadhouse business, ice hockey team and her past.

At the airport she meets Cole Ryan, man of many talents, and the pair click immediately.  Little does she know how much this chance meeting will change her life.

Robyn is a strong woman and very forward.  She is not afraid to take chances or speak up.  

Cole is the hunk of the story, but he is not just a pretty face. He is a talent scientist and a mean ice hockey player.

The chemistry between these two lead characters makes for a hot read. They just fit together so well, and in a short space of time.

Although the author, Mandy Baggot is English, I believe she spent some time in America and has written Taking Charge giving the real American life feel.

There are some difficult issues for Robyn to deal with and this has been written with sensitivity.  


A hot summer read for 2012!


4.5 out of 5 for me! I loved it!
