She tried to fight against his powerful grip but realized immediately she'd only waste her strength. So she stopped fighting and stiffened like a corpse in his arms. Her senses swirled as his masculine scent swarmed all around her. God, he smelled so good. Silly to think such a personal thought when she was about to be murdered. But she couldn't help it. Her mind desperately clung to the delicate combination of leather, spicy soap and the hint of tangy woodsmoke. His bristly cheek brushed erotically against the side of her face, making her feel as if they were chained together in achingly seductive dance.
"Don't scream." His voice sounded low and hoarse in her ears. Ragged, as if caught in the grips of a massive cold. But soothing too. " I'm not going to hurt you. Do you understand?"
Sara nodded weakly, almost believing him. He removed his hand from her mouth, leaving the other one to linger steadfast around her waist.
He held her close. Oh so close. His body heat slammed into her like a furnace. But through the magical spell this man cast upon her, Sara could feel something hard and cylindrical pressed firmly into the small of her back. A gun!

The overview is incorrect this is a completely different story...It is about a man who has amnesia and a widow with a tragic past. He finds his way to the Inn and things go from there. This was a great mystery romance with some spicy romance to go with it...I couldn't put it down will be looking for more from this author.

The details are written wrong. Its noteven about that. Completely different story. Its really about this man who has amnesia who wanders to this country home where a young widow helps clean his wounds and they work together to find who hurt him and why. Great story. Some explicit sex scenes but not overly so. Overall a great who's did it story.

I actually enjoyed the story idea and twist and turns but be forwarned it get into too much sexual situations to really be an added help to the plot. Didn't need to be that sexually informed so just jump over that part and you should enjoy this book.

The plot was good,enjoyed the storyline. But the sex was too raunchy not romantic. I want to get hot andin love ,not needing a shower. How many of us use the "c"word.? The plot written by an adult the sex by a porn addict

This was the 1 st book I have read by Jan Springer. I thought the book was a great mystery/thriller. Set in a for real area in Canada. I can tell she does a lot of research for her novels. The characters were so real to me. Their love genuine. I would have given this novel 5 stars except for the constant erotic sexual parts of the story. I know it stated some erotic parts, but it was constant throughout the book. I found myself skipping 20 or 30 real pages at a time just to get back to the terrific mystety plot. I feel it took away from the story and the beautiful love Sara and "Tom" had for one another. I enjoy mild bedroom scenes in a novel, but really, enough is enough! I do highly recommend this novel to adulys only. You will enjoy the characters, the page turning plot, and the rustic setting. Good job author! Vallie

Story line was totaly believable. A little mystery, a little romance a little police corruption and a little action. Love to see a man who genuinely has a heart even if he doesn't remember who he's supposed to be.

Just finished this and it is great. The overview must have been corrected as it is what the book is about.

An unexpected delight! I simply loved Peppermint Creek Inn!!! It had amazing atmosphere, a unique, complex plot, and extremely likable characters. I literally could not put it down! The story flowed smoothly, professionally. Most of suspense had me sitting up straight, mentally scrambling to figure out the answers to the multitude of dilemmas the protagonists faced. The romance was sweet and touching. The entire story had such a charming 'community' feel to it, like Rachel Lee's 'Conard County' stories and Silhouette's '36 Hours' anthology, that I found myself hoping for more Peppermint Creek stories. Sara's sister Jo would make a great heroine (and I'm rooting for Garry, Sara's father-in-law, to be her hero). Even Dr. Smokey McKay and 'Sue from the drugstore' have discernible heroine potential!
