Hangin' by a Moment by Susan May WarrenMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
I enjoyed this visit to Deep Haven, meeting up with Colleen (who we first met in the first Deep Haven series in
), seeing her all grown up and trying to learn from the past and make better choices. She is hard on herself, but also don't back down from challenges and enjoyed seeing her learning to be a flight nurse and how she was in her element when she faced emergency situations.I was a teeny bit frustrated that everyone still referred to Tucker as bad boy Tucker, because come on, he grew up and so much more than his teenage reputation!
- yes I have a soft spot for him!Jack, here was another "bad boy" with so much more to him than meets the eye. I loved how the author shown the reader glimpses of the past and filled it in as the story developed. I totally understood why Boone was in his corner - he really got a raw deal.
The chemistry between Colleen and Jack was there from the start and I enjoyed their relationship development.
I loved the small town vibe and how the family looked out for each other. I was a bit disappointed with Adrian, but he redeemed himself again a bit later.
The romance was sweet, the action and emergency situations brought in at the correct times. The author also surprised me of when and how Jack's past was revealed.
If you enjoyed Susan May Warren's previous books set in Deep Haven, you will also enjoy this one.

About the book:
He just wants to erase his past.
The day Jack—formerly Winston Stewart—walked out of jail, he vowed to keep his conviction a secret. After all, it wasn’t like he’d committed a murder. Just a terrible mistake, and he did his time. Now he wants a new life in a sleepy town where no one knows his name. Deep Haven is the perfect place to start over as a chef. The last thing the former pararescue jumper wants is to get involved. But when Boone Buckam—his friend and the one guy he owes for getting him out of the slammer—asks for help, how can Jack refuse?
She can’t seem to escape hers.
Colleen Decker has already escaped evil once—as a teenager, she was kidnapped by a murderer. But she’s put all that behind her as a trauma nurse in Minneapolis. Or maybe not, because a freak mistake in the ER sends her past crashing down on her. She needs a timeout in her hometown of Deep Haven. She doesn’t plan to stay—even when she’s roped into the job of flight nurse for the town’s Crisis Response Team chopper. Colleen’s not sure why she’s drawn to danger, but she’ll be safe enough. After all, she’ll need training, and her teacher is a handsome former pararescue jumper. What could go wrong?
But facing the past might put their future together in jeopardy.
When Jack said he didn’t want to get involved, he especially meant his heart—but being with Colleen feels like a fresh start. He’ll even climb aboard a chopper again, despite his vows. They’re headed for a happy ending…
But secrets never stay buried in a small town. And when disaster strikes one snowy night, they’ll both have to decide if the past will destroy them…or if it just might lead them home.
Cozy up to this perfect Deep Haven drama about discovering a season of second chances.
