"A preacher and an ex-prostitute? A perfect match!"

Cynthia Potter no longer wants to turn tricks for a living. A teenage runaway who grew up on the streets, Cyn knows that it's time to change her life for the better. For some reason she feels compelled to begin her new life in Visitation, North Carolina. So she packs up her bags and hits the road.

On his way home from visiting friends, Bruce Kelly is sitting at a roadside diner when he sees a woman getting harassed by a truck driver. He's a preacher but he's also a good man who doesn't like seeing any woman manhandled, so he rushes out to intervene. After Bruce gets rid of the truck driver who had assumed he deserved more than a "thank you" from Cyn after giving her a lift, Bruce offers Cyn a ride to Visitation. Cyn accepts, but is wary of Bruce and his intentions. She isn't used to people who just want to help without wanting anything in return.

When Cyn arrives in Visitation, she starts making friends, finds a job and is astounded when she realizes that she is falling in love. But will her newfound happiness end when someone from her past begins threatening her?

Cyn may not have the same work experience as your typical heroine, but she's not ashamed of the life she has led. She's a survivor who finally decides to make her life better and takes action to improve it. And what an improvement it is! Bruce is such a sweet man who doesn't back down from a fight when the people he loves are in danger. He has a heart of gold and Cyn is a woman who makes him feel like no one has in a long time. He certainly fits the bill of a hunky hero in my opinion. Bruce and Cyn are two very likable characters who have wonderful chemistry together and I felt the love scenes had enough sizzle to satisfy. Ms. Foster is a pro when it comes to writing sensual love scenes! The suspense was well done and I wasn't exactly sure how that part of the story would play out. It's always a pleasure to see the characters from Ms. Foster's previous books set in Visitation. WHEN BRUCE MET CYN is a sexy, heartwarming romance that you won't regret adding to your to buy list. I'm looking forward to the next book in Ms. Foster's Visitation series.
