In high school Christy Evans, his neighbour, was the one girl Kyle Warren could never get. The one who had always blown him off. He had been the star athlete with girls falling at his feet, except the one he really wanted. When he returned home to take care of his father’s estate he noticed that the girl next had grown up. He was interested and this time he wasn’t taking no for an answer. He was ready to show her he wasn’t who she thought he was.

Hometown girl Christy Evans had always thought Kyle a womanizer and, having been burned by others she thought like him, knew that she would do well to stay away. When Kyle’s dad, Pop Warren, died she knew she had to extend her offering of friendship to his son. It was the least she could do after all Pop had done for her and this town.

The Way to a Man’s Heart is a nice, heart-warming tale of never giving up on love. It is enjoyable reading, as Kyle and Christy learn to negotiate friendship and love. Christy needs to get over old high school hurts and learn to trust again. She jumps to conclusions a little too quickly and seems slightly more wary than any of the situations call for. However, Kyle is nothing if not persistent and he wins her over. I liked Kyle immediately and I think he is a hero for all time. Good looking, smart, rich and nice – it works for me and sometimes made me wonder how Christy could keep on resisting him. But Christy is a modern woman with a career and I did like her feistiness. Although, I must say it’s been a long time since I’ve heard anyone called a scoundrel in a contemporary novel!

If you like you Harlequin Romance, you will enjoy this sweet love story that has a slightly sensual side too.
