The Rulebreakers #2
The Lone Rider Takes a Bride
Ben Palmer was tall, dark and very dangerous to a woman like Amelia Russell -- a prim, proper teacher. For the tough, strong loner awakened feelings Amelia didn't even know she had. Her whole life changed during one unexpected night with him. And though she knew Ben desired her, the bullheaded man claimed she was the kind of woman a man married... and the he wasn't the marrying kind!
But Amelia was becoming a new woman. One who was ready to break some rules of her own. And that meant doing more than just dreaming of meeting her bad boy at the altar!

Ben Palmer: a bad boy, tall, dark and dangerous to a good girl like Amelia
Amelia Russell" prim, proper teacher. Wary of bad boy, especially who ride motorcycles.
But Amelia was becoming a new woman, just as Ben was a different man than he use to be.
A great story proving that opposites do attract, and have a chance together, at least for
awhile. 5 stars.

This is one of the books on my keeper shelf. The beginning of the story is very funny and relatable, the heroine's angst over her mother's disappointment because she's not yet married, and the unlikely hero she falls in love with. Leanne has had a lengthy writing career, so pick up any of her novels and you won't be disappointed!
