Eloise is headed back to Duval Springs, where she spent much of her childood, but it's the last place she wants to go. Twelve years ago, she left because of her relationship with Alex Duval, and she hasn't looked back since. She's made herself into a rule-abiding CPA and enjoys her structured life.
Alex is a dreamer, but he's never forgotten the spunky redhead who stole his heart. He's been committed to saving the town, but he's lost. Now, the town's scheduled to be destroyed to make way for a reservoir. When Eloise shows up to help buy off the town's residents, Alex doesn't recognize the icy person in front of him.
These two are complete opposites, but they still have a spark. Unfortunately for Alex, Eloise has no intentions of staying with Alex. When they come up with a plan for the removal of the town, Eloise donates her time to the dream, but she still plans on returning to her structured life. Unless Alex can convince her to trust him and be a bit daring. There's also a snitch in town feeding information to the town's most hated man, and sabotage threatens Alex's plans.
I liked this book, and I liked the characters. I like the way Alex's impulsiveness balanced out Eloise's straight-laced nature and vice versa. I also appreciated the research the author did, because it shows. Nick and Rosalind show up, but you don't have to be familiar with A Daring Venture to keep up with what's going on.
I'm glad that I stuck with this series, even though I wasn't a huge fan of the first book. This book was entertaining, and I enjoyed reading it.
