About this listen
One morning, the B&B's only guest inexplicably vanishes, leaving behind his personal effects. A few days later, Cate is shocked when armed men storm the house, demanding the mystery man's belongings. Fearing for her children's lives, Cate agrees to cooperate - until Calvin saves the day, forcing the intruders to scatter into the surrounding woods.
The nightmare, however, is just beginning. Cate, Calvin, and their entire community find themselves cut off and alone with no means to call for help as the threat gathers intensity and first blood is drawn.
With their fellow residents trapped and the entire town held hostage, Cate and Calvin have no choice but to take the fight to their enemies under the cover of night. While reticent Cal becomes a fearless protector, Cate makes the most daring move of her life...into the very heart of danger.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Sweet Romance with likeable characters
I liked the people in this small mountain town. The twin boys are cute and funny. The widow mom is sweet and appealing. The hero, former soldier and handyman is strong and romantic. The Retired Major and former nun are two wonderful additions to the storyline and their romance as satisfying as the widow and handyman. There is much tension when town and widow is threatened by a group of villains and saved by the hero.

Howards most laid back Hero~ I like it~ 4 STARS
Widow Cate has twin boys to raise in Trail Stop. When Handyman Calvin stops 2 men from holding her at gun point we soon know some one is out to GET Cate. When a Guest at Cate's B&B disappears along with the mysterious FLASHDRIVE he carries along with him. Cate and the entire town of Trailstop are soon under siege with a para miliary gang who want the flash drive at all costs. This is a fun. Cate is clueless that handiman Calvin one of the most laid back of all Howards stud hunks is hopeless in love with her, and he is barely on any ones radar. When he drops 2 men with guns to save Cate we learn the quiet guy is ex military. The shy handiman turn hero is very good in this one. I give this 4 STARS for first rate story and characters and very good reader~ and one of the more interesting characters Calvin who shows us sometimes the quiet ones are the most fun.

Intriguing story
I’ve loved this book ever since I read it so many years ago. I love that Cal was a quiet presence in Cate’s life for so many years until she was finally ready to move on from her dead spouse. The action and drama in this story is the perfect blend. The dual narration by Joyce and Dick is very good. They give all the characters good distinctive voices. Don’t skip this one!

Great. Exciting.
I loved the character Cal - his shy side and then his Rambo side.
I read this book at least twice in the past and just now finished the audiobook. The audiobook was fantastic. It’s read by Joyce Bean and Dick Hill, with each of them narrating the female vs male parts. (And you don’t hear their breaths - yay!)
STORY BRIEF:
Layton is accountant for bad guy Bandini. Layton has a flash drive with evidence against Bandini and asks for blackmail money. Bandini hires two killers (Goss and Toxtel) to get the flash drive back. They follow Layton's trail to a small town in Idaho. They pull a gun on Cate. Cal saves her. They didn't get the flash drive and they want revenge on Cal. They hire more killers to help them. Cal and the town fight back against unbelievable odds.
Narrative mode: 3rd person.
Genre: romantic suspense.

Years later, this is still one of my fave Howard books. Sandra Brown is prolific but Linda Howard does this kind of romantic suspense so much better. Other faves are Now You See Her, Mr Perfect, After the Night, Shades of Twilight. I also like the character of Jenner in BURN - specifically the before part of the story. Some of LH’s earliest books were Harlequin and they were great!
I really like Joyce Bean as narrator for this story. Hill just added.

The performance was great, story? Not so much
I normally love this author but this one was a bit drawn out. First, the good things. The main characters were great. Cate was a wonderful but strict mother who loved her kids and her bed and breakfast. Cal is a heroic man who can't help but blush everytime he's near Cate. Their relationship was adorable and her kids were hilarious. They reminded me so much of my own. The plot was an interesting concept, but I wish it was written a bit better
Now for the bad.
There were too many details. It really drags the story down. The readers are smart enough to figure out what the author is saying instead of explaining every little single action and feeling to the point that we want to fast forward until we get the story going again.
She focused a bit too much on the antagonists situations rather than Cal and Cate's relationship and interactions. It got to the point that I skipped almost all the antagonist's scenes and I was still caught up. It only proved to me that the antagonist's story just wasn't as important to the overall tale.
And last but not least, the love scene. I was so excited to read the culmination of all the sexual tension between the two main characters. But when the scene finally came, I was so disappointed. It just didn't give their relationship justice and it seemed more awkward than anything.
For all these reasons, this book just wasn't on my list of favorite books. I had such high hopes but they were slightly dashed.
