To Capture His Heart

To Capture His Heart

By Nancy Campbell Allen

Shadow Mountain Publishing, 2022. 282 pgs. Romance

Eva Caldwell is an accomplished photographer who often works with the local law enforcement to document crime scenes. Which means she works alongside the handsome and charming detective, Nathan Winston. He unexpectedly asks her for a personal favor, would she be willing to photograph his mother's legendary, week-long dinner party and matchmaking event? The catch is that she must also pretend that she and Nathan are courting so that Nathan can avoid the other single women at the party. Eva agrees and soon finds that the pretend feelings are turning real as they work together to catch a criminal from Nathan's past that threatens revenge on the people he loves. 

This book was pure fun to read! Both main characters were likeable and strong characters on their own. When they worked together, they respected and supported each other. I liked that Eva had a profession and was proud of it during a time when the culture for women was just starting to change. I really enjoyed the mystery aspect of the story that kept me guessing right up until the end.
