A hunky rich guy who knows too well how to "seduce&destroy" the ever-willing females. A naive goody-two-shoes girl who aims to serve him a dish of revenge because of him tarring her mother's good name for being the pilot driving his parents on their last journey, ending in the crash.
Can the said jerk be a reformed guy? Can a sweet, good girl enter his heart? Yah, in the movies, maybe.
But...in this novel this setup truly works.

I was expecting something else - a sugar-coated, ill-written novel, I confess. And boy was I wrong!
Ms Alexander did a splendid job with this redemption story, or better a redemption series of Misty Willow (where this book is a second one of the trilogy). The characters are confronted with very deep issues: Brett has been a true womanizer, Dani was deeply hurt by her unstable bringing-up; Meghan both suffered and tried to use the situation for her own good; Amy has issues and even Aj&Shelby from the previous novel were given their own portion of problems. The characters's issues are real, relatable and serious. There is no sugar-coating. But there is grace. As much as you see their brokenness, you can palatably feel a Hand doing the heavy lifting of their burdens for them to help them to heal. And this is a true gem of writing - because to see the realistic, believable healing is a rare bird.
Here, I was sold.

When Love Arrives is the continuation of the story that was started in Where She Belongs. This time the focus of the story shifts from AJ and Shelby to Brett and Dani. Dani Prescott is a new character and from the very beginning she's one that I wanted the best for.

Dani is torn by her past and has a plan to set the record straight. Her target is Brett. He is pretty much enemy number one but the more she gets to know him personally the harder it is to keep her anger and need for revenge at the forefront of her mind.

Brett has his own set of obstacles that he needs to overcome. I won't do a spoiler but if you read Where She Belongs you already know what weighs heavy on his heart. After meeting Dani by chance he tells himself he's just not interested but he is continually pulled towards this intriguing woman.

Just as the first book had a bit of mystery as well as romance so does this one. It was interesting to watch things unfold and come to a head. When all was said and done I was satisfied to know a bit more about the ongoing storyline and I am eagerly anticipating the next book to allow us to venture a bit farther down the path with these characters.

I received a copy of this book to facilitate my review.
