All dreams of happily ever after—or Nora Roberts Land as her mother calls it—went up in smoke. But when her family asks her to temporarily help their Dare Valley, Colorado newspaper, she decides it’s time to change her life and prove her ex wrong. She’s determined to find her own small-town Nora Roberts hero, prove that true love exists, and publish a story about her quest. War correspondent Tanner McBride has just returned stateside to work for a major newspaper, and the last thing he expects is blackmail. Yet, before he can even unpack, he’s headed to Colorado. His assignment? Make his boss’s ex-wife fall for him and then break her heart. Her article about discovering love à la Nora might air dirty laundry about her marriage to the media mogul, threatening his senate run. The mogul wants Meredith stopped, and he makes sure Tanner has no choice in the matter. When the two meet, the sparks between them are undeniable. Meredith, who vowed never to date another journalist, begins to succumb. Could Tanner be her Nora Roberts hero? As they work together to uncover the truth behind a suspicious death, the depth of their feelings unfolds and both realize they’ve kept their secrets for far too long. But before the truth can be revealed, their investigation takes a deadly turn, one that might make Meredith’s personal Nora Roberts Land go up in flames.

"...they hugged like two long-lost pretzels." What the hell does that even mean?
To be perfectly honest, I was prepared to hate this book by the end of the first chapter. The main character got on my last nerve early on with her annoying inner dialogue, bustier touching, and hair pulling. If you haven't read the book that sentence doesn't make much sense but if you have read it, you know what I'm talking about. But, I kept reading because, as a card carrying Nora Roberts fan for the past 25 years, the premise interested me. And I'm glad I did because in the end, I really enjoyed the story and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
