Wow! It's been a busy month already, and my mind must be on overdrive as I had forgotten to publish two posts for today (including this one). I read Trust My Heart by Carol J. Post several weeks ago, so my memory is a bit rusted; resulting in me rereading the novel this afternoon.

Trust My Heart centers on a high-profile lawyer named Grant McAllister who travels to Murphy, North Carolina to sell a mansion he had inherited from his late grandparents. He had recently went through a nasty divorce that unfortunately had gotten the media's attention; so his plans is to sell the property as soon as possible and head back home before anyone finds out he is there.

Sadly, wishful thinking is just wishful thinking, as somebody already knows Grant is in town. Her name is Jami Carlisle, an aspiring reporter looking for that "one big story." Well, as you can probably guess, she's found her first big assignment - a story about the McAllister estate. Her plan is to introduce herself to Grant and start investigating everything she can find out about his family history.

Of course this is a love story, so you can probably figure out that sparks fly between Grant and Jami.

Final Thoughts: I don't read very many contemporary romances, but for some reason or another this title appealed to me. By the first line alone, "Decision making's a bear," I was automatically interested in the narrative. Both the main characters are well-written and likeable, which is major plus for me. At first glance the plot does reminds me of a made-for-Hallmark Channel movie, but less cheesy. Actually, I thought the plot was intriguing, and the author did a marvelous job with the descriptions and dialogue.

Overall, Trust My Heart is a wonderful romantic read.
