Hook, Line and Shotgun Bride
As a trained lawman, Shane Gibson was known for remaining calm, cool and professional, regardless of the situation. But when it came to the danger his best friend's widow and her little boy found themselves in, things became incredibly personal....
Angela Hawthorne's life hadn't exactly gone as planned, but Shane had been there for her even in her darkest days. This time, desperate to stay one step ahead of those threatening to harm her, Angela wasn't sure that relying on Shane was a risk she should take. Though he claimed protecting her was all part of the job, the way his heart raced when he held her said otherwise.

About the author
Cassie Miles
309 books65 followersCassie grew up in a small town at the very tip of southern Illinois. A tomboy, she spent most of her time outside and got into big trouble for breaking the trellis while climbing out her second-story bedroom window.
When her family moved to L.A., major culture shock ensued. She discovered that grapefruits grew on trees, television offered more than two channels, and all the other girls had breasts. While hiding out and waiting for her chest to develop, she read voraciously, raiding her mother's bookshelf for Mickey Spillane when she finished all her Nancy Drew novels.
Another move took her family to Denver, the place Cassie still calls home.
She graduated from North Central college outside Chicago, got married, and returned to Colorado where she worked in personnel at the Denver Post and lived in a mountain cabin without running water. Upon learning she was pregnant, a return to civilization seemed prudent. She settled in Denver, raised two amazing daughters, and started writing for Harlequin. After her divorce, she took a break from romance and wrote straight suspense.
During her frantic years as a single mom, writing books and working odd jobs to supplement her income, she hardly had time to breathe, much less to dream. Then something remarkable happened. She fell in love with a tall, sexy man who was an aerial photographer and the author of tough-guy mystery novels. Fortunately, he loved her back. She found her real-life hero, inherited three more grown kids and three grandchildren.
Cassie started writing romance again, loving every minute of a life filled with laughter, crazy road trips, sailboats, and journeys to Oregon with long walks on rocky beaches.
Not too long ago, the love of her life developed inoperable pancreatic cancer. With supportive friends and family standing by, he died at home.
Cassie now lives alone, surrounded by beautiful memories. She has no regrets and considers herself lucky to have found her soul mate, the man with whom she shared a perfect love.

Angela, the heroine, is a widow and about to re-marry but is having doubts about it. She's also been suffering from anxiety and insomnia recently. When her long term friend Shane, the hero, arrives she feels more relaxed. However Shane finds signs that Angela is being stalked and vows to protect her and her son. When events start taking a strange turn and it looks like Angela's fiancé may be involved, Shane realises that Angela is in more danger than they thought and he takes them to safety. During this time Angela and Shane discover that she was a baby from a genetic engineering IVF program 25 years ago and that her son may also have been created like this, without her knowledge. Angela and Shane also grow close and discover that they have always had feelings for one another.
This is a more serious book compared the the previous book in this mini-series (Lock, Stock and Secret Baby), and was quite enjoyable. The plot was able to focus more on the relationship part since the 'superbabies' plotline was explained in such detail in the last book. But this book also suffers from moments that are rather baffling, that really let down the story. It didn't help that it was so bloody obvious what was going to happen and who was involved.
An OK read, with an original plot.

Just lost interest in this a little over half way through. I guess the ending just became very obvious and it obviously wasn't so intense I needed to finish it. Decent writing and interesting storyline. I just put it down and read some other books intending to get back to it but never did.

Als je er goed over nadenkt, is het allemaal grote onzin, wat er in het boek gebeurt.
Dat is wel bij meer dingen zo.
Voor mij was het heerlijk lezen, met wat vermakelijk scènes.
Een paar maanden later weer gelezen (nadat ik een ander boek was doorgeploeterd) en nu ik de plot wist, was het extra heerlijk.

Hook, Line And Shotgun Bride by Cassie Miles is an enjoyable read. This well written book is fast paced and full of lovable characters, drama, action and sexy bits. I look forward to reading more from Cassie Miles in the future. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
