Barbour Books Love Is Monumental - eBook

National Park Ranger Vickie Harris loves her job assignment at the Washington Monument in her nation's capital. But while life in the District of Columbia is exciting and fun, the shy and withdrawn Vickie has resigned herself to the likelihood of being single forever. When a handsome professor asks the research-loving park ranger for her assistance on a project, Vickie reluctantly agrees. Will she come out of her shell long enough for the professor to get to know her? If she can only break out of her introverted ways, she might be surprised to discover that Love Is Monumental.

Excellent book. This is the second book by Annalisa Daughety I've read and I enjoyed this as much as the first one. The next one in the series is definitely going into my shopping car.

I have a BA in history but unfortunately none of my professors were Thatcher Torrey's...maybe that was a good thing, one less distraction in class right? Well anyways I love this book and one of the reasons is the hero, who if you haven't guessed, is Thatcher Torrey, a hunky history professor. Did I also mention that the heroine loves history too? She's a park ranger in Washington, DC. These two great characters plus the return of a few who we met in Love is a Battlefield make for a great read, especially for history lovers and single girls like me!I can definitely relate to Vickie and her "pickiness" when it comes to the opposite sex and couldn't help but think, "Been there. Done that." You already know that I think Thatcher is a sweet hero, if a little bit shy expressing his feelings. The twist towards the end of the book was interesting and I'll admit that I did see it coming but it's not a suspense or a mystery novel so that isn't a big deal. Without spoiling it, I have to say that the end of this story will make you sigh and is the perfect ending for Vickie and for me, as we are both chick flick fanatics (read the book, you'll see what I mean)! Book 3, Love is Grand is releasing this October and I for one can't wait! This series is so good!

Annalisa Daughetys Love is Monumental is the second book in her A Walk in the Park series, preceded by Love is a Battlefieldset in Shiloh, TN. Love is Monumental is set in our nations capital and paints a beautiful picture of Washington, D.C. while teaching the reader surprising bits of history. It was exciting to get to know park ranger and heroine, Vickie Harris, and she was easy to root foreven if she was frustrating at times. Her high standards in dating made me want to scream a little bit, but then again what girl hasnt met the a few too-hairys and too-brainys of their own? Professor Thatcher Torrey was easy to fall in love with, at least for a girl like me who likes a scruffy, laid back, rough-around-the edges kind of guy. His commitment issues were something everyone can relate to in some way, but the mystery surrounding how he accumulated all of his love baggage was enough to keep me turning the page as fast as possible. It was nice to get to know Kristy and Ainslie (first introduced in Love is a Battlefield) a little more, but even if I had never read Love is a Battlefield, I would have liked and understood Love is Monumental. They can stand alone, but I really liked getting a glimpse of the other characters lives from a new point of view.Overall, this book had it alllove, true friendship, mystery and even a little mother/daughter drama. I loved it from beginning to end!
