Tumble Into Love (Diamond Creek, Alaska Novels Book 5) Kindle Edition
A hot cop who rescues the girl? Oh yes! He’s also her brother’s friend. Oops.
Sometimes love happens in a crash—or at least that’s how Risa and Darren met.
Risa Holden often feels like her life is spinning beyond her control. On the heels of betrayal, she’s more committed than ever to making sure she doesn’t hope for too much, especially not anything like love.
When Darren Thomas, a smoldering and oh-so-hot cop, helps her after a car accident, she thinks a fling is in order. Just a fling.
Darren Thomas looks dangerously delicious in his uniform. When he meets Risa, the spark between them burns so hot and fast, he can’t think straight. After facing a tragedy, he retreated home to Alaska with plans to keep to himself.
Risa tests his convictions on every level. She’s sassy temptation wrapped in trouble and his friend’s little sister. Not exactly a smart move on his part to get tangled up in her.
Risa and Darren tumble fast—love might be the only thing can break their fall.
Darren & Risa’s story is perfect for readers who love small town romance, hot heroes, smart & sassy heroines, small town H-O-T cops, opposites attract, slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of swoon, and a broody hero.
*A full-length standalone romance.

Diamond Creek is a close-knit small town boasting a breathtaking variety of natural scenery, including mountains, glaciers, forests, and ocean. It is a popular tourist destination in the summer for hiking and camping in the mountains, and for boating, swimming and fishing in the ocean. In the winter, there are also terrific opportunities for downhill and cross-country skiing at the Last Frontier Lodge.
At age 31, Risa’s parents are hoping, for her sake, that she might find a kind and decent man to settle down with, but romance hasn’t been good to her over the years, up to and including her recent bitter breakup with a boyfriend who cheated on her with one of her closest friends. But suddenly, on her latest visit to her brother, she is rescued by a handsome cop, of about her age, when her car skids off the road, onto a steep incline, and lands in the branches of a huge tree. The attraction between them is immediate, mutual, and overwhelming.
What a memorable Meet Cute! Wow! I really liked the hero and heroine of this contemporary, romance novel. They are both honorable, compassionate people and, though the sexual chemistry between them is explosive, it is clear that they have far more going for them than a desire to have a cheap fling. The progression of their romance is compellingly done, and their HEA is very satisfying.
I am extremely fond of Diamond Creek, Alaska. I love the recurring cast of local citizens, and it is such a vividly gorgeous setting, I enjoy revisiting it again and again by reading and re-reading every one of the 15 books (so far) set in this fictional small town. Nine of the books are listed as the “Last Frontier Lodge” series, and six of the books are listed as the “Diamond Creek” series, but all of these books are in the same town. I have included a currently complete list of these books below, just beneath this review, for anyone who might be interested.

Heroine: 4 stars

that is until the heroine comes along. Visiting her brother from her home in anchorage, she is driving to Diamond Creek when a mother moose and her two babies appear in the road. Swerving to miss them, she runs off the road and stops in a group of trees. The first one to the scene is, you guessed it, our hero, the police chief. There is instant chemistry as they get her out of the damaged car.
There is LOTS of hot sex, humor, soul searching and HEA in this story. It is a very entertaining read and I definitely recommend it. All of these books are stand alone with HEA. A good read.
SPOILER - just a note. I found a lot of errors in the first part of the book. She when it should have been he. then she removed her shoes as she walks in the apartment, goes to the back of the house and returns, sits down and takes off her shoes again!! Then the name Ethan was used when I think it was suppose to be Eric. I have read several of these stories and didn't see the number of mistakes that this one had. So much so that it did get my attention. It did distract from the story a little bit in places but one just has to go back and read it over again to get it right. One last thing, I just didn't get why the heroine thought she was so unworthy. She was a successful career woman, attractive, good sense of humor, obviously pretty and sexy. So she wasn't a brain surgeon but her "issue" seemed a little over the top.
I was not paid for this review. I am not an author nor do I know one. I am not kin to this writer. I am a reader and this is just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. I did not put the 6 in my review. Amazon did that and I have no idea why. I don't use profanity or nasty substitutes for words. Sometimes I just don't understand t he Amazon reviewers at all.
Darren and Risa are a great couple. I want to see more of them.
