Stopping over in Sun Valley Lodge, for the first time ever, Kate forges ahead and propositions a hunk at the bar. The last thing she expects is to be turned down flat and left in humiliation.

Working in her grandfather's store is the last place she expects to see the item of her embarrassment. Every woman's fantasy dream, Rob Sutter, is a retired Hockey star after an injury from a bullet from a crazy woman of a one-night fling; said fling also ended his marriage and leaves him an absentee father to his baby girl, Amelia.

Eventually their estranged acquaintance grows into a genuine friendship complete with sizzling hot sex in the store aisles. Rules have changed and Kate wants someone that will commit to love her for a lifetime. With his history with women, Rob cannot commit. Kate will not try to change his mind for what he believes and walks away permanently. It takes some real alone time without Kate to make Rob admit he loves her and cannot live without her in his life, forever. Maybe Kate will finally have a Valentine's Day complete with forever love!

Rachel Gibson's fantasies will be hard to beat. I so enjoyed this very heart- warming tale of two souls finding their way to true love. Once I picked THE TROUBLE WITH VALENTINE'S DAY up I had to fight myself to put it down. This is a truly wonderful story filled with compassion, love but definitely not least - - hot, sizzling sex to heat the blood. Rob is every woman's dream!
