He has left three women stranded at the altar and since then has adopted a three date rule on himself. When Shelby walks back into his life, his views slowly change and while he fights and denies it...you can't help who you fall in love with. Declan came back to Magnolia Bay to take care of his Dad. He has some medical issues and Declan, even though he remembers what a hard childhood he had growing up, still cares for his father. Shelby knows he isn't husband material and she also knows she should stay away from him. But she can't help herself and Declan pursues her hard!

There were warm, heart tugging moments that had me holding my breath. Though there weren't a lot of hot sizzling moments, the romance felt real between Declan and Shelby and I found myself cheering for them and hoping they could let go of the past. If you're looking for a cozy, perfect romance, you'll will enjoy CAUGHT UP IN YOU.

When ever I see that Kim Boykin has a new book out, I run to it. She has a talent of pulling the reader right in from the very beginning and never letting go.
