When Bruce Met Cyn
2 journalers for this copy...
From the back cover:
When opposites attract....just get out of the way!
Bruce Kelly has spent most of his life helping people who are down on the luck, guiding them toward making better lives. Compassionate and kind, Bruce undersands that everyone makes mistakes, even if he's never actually done anything but color inside the lines. Nobody's perfect, but Bruce is about to meet a woman who's perfect for him. He's determined to show her that he can be trusted. And if that means proving it bybeing the absolute gentleman at all times, then so be it. No matter how many cold showers it takes.
Cyn Potter is a surviver, with a sassy gallows wit and a fierce independentstreak to show for it. She's used to men wanting only one thing, and this girl is no longer taking applications from big bad wolves in sheep's clothing, thank you very much, drive through please and keep on going. But Bruce Kelly is actually different. Totally hands off. Sometimes she can see a hint of fire when he looks at her, but the guy treats her with the respect she's always wanted. Maybe too much respect because truthfully, the guy is fine. Worth taking down a few defenses for and a few other things. And maybe somebody needs to help Bruce start over and discover just how perfect being imperfect can be.

Based on my (admittedly limited) previous experience with Lori Foster's books, I was expecting another light-hearted and funny basic chick-lit story. Wow - did this book deliver so much more than that, with a deep story of substance!
Cyn admirably escapes a childhood of neglect and abuse by running away at age 17. She survives the next five years supporting herself the only way she knows how - by selling her body. With fierce determination, she saves enough money within 5 years to move to small-town North Carolina and reinvent herself, find an honest job, become a productive member of society, make friends and fall in love with the town's understanding and nonjudgmental preacher. Her relationship with Bruce is threatened because it's difficult for her to trust any man, and she feels unworthy of the love of a good man. Cyn's abuser eventually catches up with her, and starts stalkin, threatening and tormenting her. With the love and support of Bruce, and the protection of the entire community, including a mysterious clairvoyant character, Cyn finally finds safety and much deserved happiness.
This is an amazing story of survival and healing, against all odds.
