Synopsis:
Penny
The whole world knew me… but I didn’t know myself. When I wasn’t performing–my life was sterile hotel rooms, lukewarm room service, and binge-watching cooking and home improvement shows on cable. I did what I was told to do and went where I was directed to go. I don’t know what made me get in my car and drive to Sunnyville that day. Was it fate? Destiny? I’m not sure. Maybe. Everything in my life changed that day, and I finally learned who I was meant to be.
Carson
I grew up in a small town. My life was planned–the job, the house, the girl. Even the dog. As a firefighter, I knew how fast things could change, and yet I wasn’t prepared for what began that Thursday. There was no Defensible Space–no buffer that protected me from the loss of everything I thought was my future. Instead of facing my fears, I packed it up and headed to Sunnyville. Some might have said I was running.
Running.
Funny–That’s exactly what I was doing when I ran into Penny Anderson while chasing my wayward dog.
At the time I didn’t know it, but she found me when I was lost.

My Review:
This one definitely had me interested from the start. Even had me wanting to go back and read Grady’s story from Bromberg’s original series. I liked the characters a lot as well. Both had great back stories and were very well flushed out through the story. I like that even when things were brought in as the dramatic problems to overcome, the characters were able to take a minute to think about it, and realize that they either overreacted or needed to put effort out to fix it. Without taking a long time or needing a big push from someone else to do it.
The story kept me involved and it was a quick read as my interest was held the whole time. The only complaints I had were that there were some things that I feel were left out and would have made for good scenes in the story. Like when Penny’s best friend came to visit, we only got a tiny bit of when he first arrived, and then no time spent with all of them as he stayed. There were a few other events like that as well. The steamy scenes were good, although also needed maybe just a bit more? Some of the way they talked during those scenes didn’t fit exactly for me as I read. But overall, this was a really good story, and I hope to read more by this author in the future!

About the Author:
Lane Martin lives in Northern California with her husband of over twenty-five years. She has two children. Her daughter recently graduated from American University in Washington, DC. Her son is attending the local junior college to become a firefighter. Lane learned about Fanfiction after reading a little trilogy written by E.L. James. After reading many of the stories, she decided to give it a try and posted her first one-shot story in July of 2013. It was the first thing she had written since graduating from college in 1993. She remembered an English teacher had once threatened to beat her up if she wasn’t published by the time she was thirty. She soon had many stories on the site. Blessed with great readers and a supportive family, she decided to write her first book. She wishes she knew then what she knows now, but don’t we all. Lane enjoys reading and listening to romance novels when she isn’t writing her own. She likes traveling to new places to meet other authors and readers.
