Hank Whitcomb returns to Maple Hill, Massachusetts after a twenty-year absence and successful career as a NASA engineer. Although his professional life was hugely successful, his personal life was lacking. Now he's started a small business called Whitcomb's Wonders, offering a variety of handyman services. When he relocates his business to City Hall, however, he quickly finds himself confronting the past.

Jackie Bourgeois still carries the scars of the past. Hank had been the love of her life although she married someone else after he left Maple Hill twenty years ago. Now widowed, the mayor of Maple Hill, mother of two, and pregnant, Jackie scarcely has the time or energy to deal with old wounds, or so she tells herself. She needs what Hank offers: love, commitment and family. But she also carries a secret, the reason she refused to leave Maple Hill with Hank twenty years ago. That secret threatens both of their dreams.

Author Muriel Jensen continues the Men of Maple Hill miniseries with MAN WITH A MISSION. These marvelous characters sparkle; from the fierce determination of the heroine to the snotty woman her father is dating. As political intrigue, pregnancy and Jackie's entrancing daughters keep the plot moving steadily along, readers will wish to linger in this wonderful community much longer. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars exciting contemporary romance, January 9, 2002

This review is from: Man with a Mission: The Men of Maple Hill (Harlequin Superromance No. 1033) (Paperback)

After spending almost three full days without any sleep because of a control problem with a deep space mission, lonely Hank Whitcomb decides to quit NASA. Following graduation from Southern California and fourteen years as an engineer at the space agency, Hank returns to Maple Hill, Massachusetts seeking to regain his lost spark for life.

When he sees his high school girlfriend for the first in all these years, Hanks knows why he could never emotionally connect with the women he dated. He still loves Jackie Bourgeois, now the mayor of his small town. He has to persuade Jackie that they belong together as adults. However, Jackie has a secret that she has kept from the only man she ever loved along with a pair of new dilemmas. She believes either one will end her only chance for happiness with Hank once he learns either truth.

MAN WITH A MISSION is an exciting contemporary romance starring two wonderful lead characters and a charming support cast. The story line goes as expected for a category yet seems warm and fresh because Muriel Jensen makes the relationship between Hank and Jackie feel real. That element engages the audience from start to finish, as the readers will want the lead duo to work out their differences even as things look bleak. Ms. Jensen has written an engaging tale that draws the audience into caring what happens to those citizens of Maple Hill.
