A review by dianed
Adam by Roxanne St. Claire

3.0

I love a series where several authors get together and create a set of individual stories around a certain theme. In this case, 7 soldiers who grew up in Eagle Ridge will come home to settle down and find a life and love and happiness in unexpected places.
In book 2 of this series, Roxanne St Claire tells the story of Adam Tucker who owns a rafting and kayaking tour company with his twin Zane. As part of the comapny, Adam wants to use a warehouse on the property to create a bunk house. He wants to use it to host summer camps for troubled young people. The only problem is that he only has 3 weeks to finish the renovations. Luckily, an interior designer just happens to drop into his lap but she's got more secrets than the CIA. She's on the run from a drug-lord and is under the protection of the FBI.
He needs help and she needs a job - together they work to complete the project but also to help each other get over damaging events in their past.
Roxanne St Claire does a great job with her descriptions of the environment - the mountains, the river, the raging storms... She does an even better job with the dialogue between Adam and Jane/ aka Jayden. They each have their secrets and yet they haven't been able to open up to anyone before. For two people who are so independent and closed off it is even more exciting to see them get their Happily Ever After.
