  Title: Playing for Keeps Series: Hope Valley Author: Jessica Prince Contemporary Romance; Small Town Romance When it came to the men in her life, Charlotte Belmont was cursed. She’d known losers, cheaters, abusers, and criminals, so it went without saying, she stopped trusting her judgment a long time ago. Then Dalton came into her life; a good, dependable man who made her heart race and her body hot. When she felt herself falling for him, she did the only thing she could think to protect them both . . . she ran like hell.   Dalton Prescott was a protector by nature, so when the woman he’d been tasked to keep safe was almost killed on his watch, he carried that guilt like a weight on his shoulders. What made matters worse was that before everything went south, Dalton had started to care for Charlotte in a way that had nothing to do with his job.   She’s determined to ignore their attraction and keep him at a distance, but he’s playing for keeps and has no intention of l...

***5 Stars*** If I thought the previous books in the series were chock full of all kinds of crazy goodness, this one definitely puts those to shame, because boy does the author take us on one hell of a ride.  Not unexpected considering we are all geared up for the showdown with Theodore, but it was the little added extras that made this one epic finale. I have to say that while Tegan and Ethan are the main characters, and ones I really did like throughout out the majority of the series, I also fell in love with the motley crew of characters that made up their family ~ some by blood, some by choice and some by necessity (at least in the beginning). I enjoyed watching them all evolve and become more of who they were meant to be as they all worked together to fight Theodore. When I dove into this series I had no idea that this was actually one that she had published previously and had gone back to and re-branded it, so I cannot say if there were any significant changes made, but I can...
