Stirring Attraction: A Second Shot Novel Kindle Edition
A sexy, suspenseful standalone in the Second Shot Series . . .
When Dominic Fairmore left Oregon to be all he could be as an Army Ranger, he always knew he’d come back to claim Lily Greene. But after six years and three career-ending bullets, Dominic is battered, broken, and nobody's hero—so he stays away. Until he learns Lily has been the victim of a seemingly random attack. He’ll do anything to keep her safe . . . even go home.
Lily is starting to find a life without Dominic when suddenly her wounded warrior is home and playing bodyguard. But she refuses to play the part of a damsel in distress, no matter how much she misses his tempting touch. He’ll leave as soon as she’s safe and Lily knows her heart will never heal.
But as attraction stirs, danger closes in. With more than Lily’s heart at stake, can Dominic draw a line between protecting Lily and loving her?

Then his sister's significant other, Noah, came to him and told him that Lily needed him. She had been attacked with a knife and had been pretty cut up. She felt it was a personal attack but no one believed her. She was told by all that it had been a random attack. She now didn't feel safe anywhere. She was paranoid. Noah wanted Dominic to come home and see if he could somehow help Lily. Everyone was worried about her.
Dominic had never loved anyone like he loved Lily and he was still in love with her. He would do anything for her. He went home with Noah and there the story begins. Follow these two on their journey to a HEA. It is one you won't be sorry you took. This is a great book and there is no cliffhanger!
Stirring Attraction is a quick easy reading second chance romance that can be read as a standalone.
Dominic has always wanted to be the best man he could possibly be in order to give Lily the life she deserves, but he had to escape their small town of Forever, Oregon and enlist in the Army in order to have a chance to do that. Six years later, he never expected a terrorist bullet ripping through his hand to destroy his future as an elite Army Ranger and to rip his identity away in the blink of an eye. Now after being declared unfit to continue on active duty due to his injury and receiving an honorable discharge, he is adrift and unsure of his future as he hides away from the world in his apartment in Georgia. He has no desire to return to his hometown to pity stares and gossip that will only increase his feelings of being an utter failure, especially the one woman he has ever loved will treat him the same way, until one of his best friends arrives to put an end to his solo pity part with the news that Lily is in danger and needs his help.
Lily never gave up on Dominic through his various tours of duty, but when he was injured and still refused to come back home, she reached the end of her patience with him. She gave him every possible opportunity to come back to her but she doesn't want to leave their small town any more than he wants to return to face the suffocating gossip and scrutiny. Her anger is keeping her going until she is brutally attacked on a jog through the local park, but when Dom walks through the door of his brother-in-law's bar to declare himself her new bodyguard until she is out of danger, she isn't sure if she wants to kiss him or hit him so she settles for throwing her wine glass at him instead.
Neither one has ever gotten over their love for the other but the struggle to find their way back to each is not easy. Dom can't find a way to get over his feelings of failure and fear for the future, and Lily is afraid to give into the hope one more time if she is going to have her heart crushed again when he decides to leave town. His hero complex and her need to be a caretaker clash at times but they find a way to fight through as Dom searches for a way to keep her safe.
As I mentioned at the start of this review, Stirring Attraction is a quick and pretty easy read. I will be the first to admit that my view of this book may be colored by the 2 stories that I read immediately preceding this one which were much more complex and emotionally heavy, but it just felt as though the drama between them was a bit contrived at times. The same feelings and denials were retread a few too many times for me and I started to skim a bit once it got to that point, but again my perception may have been skewed by my recent reads before I started this one. If you enjoy a second chance romance with some sweet, a little heat and a little bit of suspense, then give Stirring Attraction a shot.
A book I highly recommend.
