Melinda Curtis (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Super Romance | Publication Date: April 11, 2006

Where her heart is concerned, Rachel isn't about to take any risks

Pilot Rachel Quinlan is fearless fighting forest fires, but on the home front it's a different story. She's still not completely over her crush on Cole Hudson, love of her sister Missy's life—and he left Eden eleven years ago. Not that it matters, because now she has Missy's kids to raise and her family's failing business to run. But that's before the past collides with the present—and an accident brings Cole to the rescue.

Rachel wants to know if what she feels for Cole is adolescent fantasy or adult attraction. But how can she spend time with him when she has so much to hide?

BACK TO EDEN by Melinda Curtis
May 4, 2006


Amazon rating 4/5


"For those who have read EXPECTANT FATHER, BACK TO EDEN returns to the group of fire-fighting Hot Shots who spend months out of the year taking out huge blazes in Montana and neighboring states, risking their lives every day. Cole Hudson is one of them. While on duty, he rescues a woman, Rachel Quinlan. She was piloting a plane that was helping put out the fires, but it crashed. Her partner Danny dies, but Rachel survives in critical condition.

Rachel also happens to be Cole's childhood friend. She's the younger sister of his first and only love, his high school sweetheart Missy Quinlan. Missy married the mayor's son despite her love for Cole. What Cole doesn't know is that the one-night stand he and Missy shared just before her wedding to Lyle resulted in a daughter, Jenna. Missy died in a car accident five years before the story starts, and Rachel has kept the secret of Jenna's paternity. Another secret Rachel's been keeping is that she had a childhood crush on Cole which never went away. So when Cole offers to take care of her while she recuperates, Rachel panics." - Complete review at BookLoons - M. Lofton

BACK TO EDEN was an enjoyable Harlequin superromance with a lot of emotional drama. Part of a series of books focusing on the "Hot Shots", I liked this one a lot better than the previous novel. Recommended.
