Parker wants to make up to his family for being a pain during this teenage years and the way he can do that is by opening his restaurant at the family vineyard. The only problem is that between running his food truck business, and helping with the remodel of the barn, he doesn’t have time to actually plan for the restaurant.
Abby is looking for a job and what better place than at Parker’s new restaurant. Showing up unannounced and asking for a job may not be what most people do, but she is definitely one for making an impression.
As they get to know each other, Parker comes to rely on Abby’s spirit and generous nature, while Abby relies on his strength and character.
When Abby’s father enters the picture, Parker sees Abby omissions as her failure to trust him, rather than it being Abby’s way of protecting herself from further pain at the hands of her father. Parker will have to work hard to regain her trust, but it’s something he’s willing to do to win her back.

Richard Caldwell knows a lot about life, love and loss. His partner, Tony, lost his battle with cancer five years ago and Richard can't find the strength in himself to really start living again. Yes, he's had a few short term romances, but nothing that broke his heart when the relationship ended.
Julian Decker is a man who has pulled himself up from nothing to man he's proud of. Life in the one of the run down sections of Philly wasn't always the easiest, but thankfully, he had the courage to do the right thing and stay off that the easy path that drugs tempted him with.
Now, working as a doorman at The Gentlemen's Club he's finally broken the cycle of poverty that seemed to weigh him down. However, something is missing in his life - and he thinks that something is Richard Caldwell.
Knowing that they run in two entirely different circles, Julian nonetheless takes a chance and hopes Richard takes him up on his offer.
Learning to love again is hard, but what's harder, is never taking the chance.

I really enjoyed this story about Chessie and Nick and how they each loved each other during the course of their tenure of working together. The long, slow tease made the reality of being together much better in the long run.
Chessie's self doubt about loving a man such as Nick is something all females can relate to, and when Nick stands up for Chessie, every woman wishes for man just like him.

I've read stories about people having panic attacks and I have had one, but nothing I've read truly described those feelings and emotions as the author did in this story. My attack was not severe, but it had me feeling a loss of control like I hadn't felt before or since. But reading this made me realize how much worse it could have been.
Katherine's foray into Miami's nightclub scene is not one of choice. She's doing it for her sister who insisted she come out and celebrate her engagement. Once inside the club, Katherine's emotions overwhelm her and she passes out. Nico and Matt, the owners of the club, don't want or need trouble. They have enough trouble without inviting the cops or EMTs to their door with a OD'd club-goer. Except there is something about Katherine that calls to Nico.
Despite Katherine's phobias and mental scars, she and Nico become friends. Over the course of several months, Katherine's insecurities improve to the point she can leave her apartment and do things with Nico. What Nico doesn't understand is that Katherine has to fight not only to take new steps to become the woman she once was, she has to fight just to maintain the progress she's made.
Until Nico experiences a similar tragedy in his life, he realizes he truly didn't understand the depth and determination Katherine has to live outside the walls of her apartment.

I was very glad to have an opportunity to review the second book in this series.
The book begins with Lily being attacked while jogging and then a friend basically hijacking Dom to get him to return home. He's mad at himself for ignoring all the phone calls from home, the ones where his family and friends were trying to tell him about Lily.
Dom has fled his pity party in Georgia to be whatever Lily needs - bodyguard, protector, friend. He'd like to add lover to the list again, but with the damage done to his body and mind after the last time he was hurt as an Army Ranger he doesn't believe that he's good enough for anyone. Especially Lily.
Lily is gld to see Dom but is afraid that the only reason he's back is because she was hurt, not because he loves her and doesn't want to live without her. When he believes her that her - that she believes that the attack was personal and not random -- she can't help but hope that deep down, beneath all the scars Dom still loves her.
This book held my attention from the first page to the last and I'm eager to read the next book in this series.

What happens when you take a country girl and a big city fashion reviewer and toss them together? An unexpected and lust filled month of seeing the world through each others eyes.
Liz is trying to get a scoop for the local paper about the hometown boy done good by becoming a star in the modeling world. What she can't seem to catch is a break. Until she's spotted by Ian.
Ian's wondering just what this woman wants and is refreshed by her honesty when she admits she's there to get an interview with one of the models. Ian invites her to be his guest for the evening and in return she'll have to act like they are an item to keep the tabloid press at bay and he will get her the interview she needs.
Unforeseen circumstances lead to an interesting proposition for Liz: be Ian's companion for the next month and he will make sure she gets what she needs to hold on to her job. Taking a chance, Liz agrees, because hey - its not like there will be sex involved since Ian's gay, right? Wrong, Ian's bi-sexual and causes all sorts of fantasies to fire right up in Liz's mind.
During the course of their time together, Ian and Elizabeth get closer than either intended and parting is more than just sweet sorrow, its agony for them both. Only time will tell if they can find a common ground between Big City and County Girl.

This book has so many elements that I absolutely LOVED that I can't name them all.
Leah is a pastry chef, running her own business with the help of one part time employee. Her best friend, and roommate, is supportive and caring. When her building is bought by Anthony Fitzgerald Hamilton, III, she believes that he doesn't like her and will do just about anything to get her out of his building.
However, as she gets to know Hamilton, or "Ham" as she calls him, she sees that there is more to him than meets the eye. He's socially awkward, especially around women. He has some OCD tendencies that Leah finds quirky and cute, but most of all, its the heart of the man that Leah comes to adore.
Hamilton, I think, falls somewhere on the autism spectrum although its not discussed in detail. He does tell her that he believes that his parents don't really like him much because he "didn't fit in" with their lives.
What really sold me on this book is that Leah not only accepts Hamilton's personality traits but embraces them. Her acceptance of him just the way his is gives Hamilton the ability to break down some of the barriers that has kept him hidden away from life.

I enjoyed this book, but I felt that both Declan and Brooke spent too much time in their own heads than actually communicating with each other until the last few chapters of the book.
Declan has hidden his learning disability for years, and believes that people knowing about it will cause them to treat him differently, as less. His fears of being different actually isolate him more than his disability and does so even with his family. Brooke's insecurities are more tangible and keeping her secrets make more sense.
Declan's fear of losing her to one of his brothers is the main reason he capitulates to the desire he feels for Brooke.
The secondary plotline is just that, secondary. I realize that this is part of the world building, but a little more information from Aunt Pippy would have done wonders.

I liked this book but there was something that felt a bit "off" to me. The issue with McKenna's brother was the plot twist that changed the game for her and Gabe. Gabe's reaction to McKenna's alleged betrayal was off-putting to say the least, and took a while for me, as the reader, to see beyond his actions.
A lot of things happened in a short amount of time, which is good for an action packed story. What bothered me was how fast McKenna seemed to get over how Gabe treated her and what's more, blamed herself for the bad things that happened to him and his friends.

This book is about betrayal in all it's forms. Whether it's intentional - to give someone the life the really want - or not, sleeping your new found sister's ex, the hurt is the same.
Rhett's good intentions backfired in a big way, even if Cara (his ex) now has the life she wanted and deserved. Now, his family and friends all look at him differently and while he doesn't blame them, it causes more hurt than losing Cara ever did.
Constance "Con" Wild is having a rough time. After her father died, she found out that she had a half-sister she was never told about. Finding her sister has finally given her the sense of family she never had growing up.
Rhett and Con have instant chemistry and after a wild one night stand, Con is riding high. A new job, a new feeling of self-worth, Con feels that there is nothing she can't do. And when she happens to run into Rhett again, why not explore the chemistry between them.
Romance is never as simple as it should be and things come to a head when Cara finds out a family function that Rhett is dating her sister, Con's world implodes. The family she always wanted is gone and there's no one to blame but herself.
This book had a lot of emotional ups and downs and lots and lots of drama. I think the ending was a bit rushed and would like see how Con's and Rhett's relationship evolves over time.

A sweet romance about two flawed people who can't, make that won't let themselves give into the feelings they have for each other. Damaged from the past, both Derek and Hannah are extremely sensitive to how life seemingly goes wrong in an instant.
With that in mind, Hannah and Derek fight the feelings they have for each other. She's his best friend's older sister and well, Derek is five years younger than Hannah.

I enjoyed this book as it takes the mystery of celebrity and shows the person underneath it all to just as human as the rest of us. The same heartache and heartbreak and the same hopes and dreams. Wanting the "more", not success, the "more" of love and family.
Sparks fly between Ava Grace and Jonah from the first time they met and now, they are off the charts. However, Jonah is reluctant to get involved with Ava Grace because of the media circus that follows her everywhere. He's not had a good relationship with the press in the past, and he doesn't want to take chances with the future of his bourbon company now.
Ava Grace has learned to live with the media, of knowing when to make nice and smile for the camera. Its just all in a day's work for her, part of the package of being a country music star. She doesn't enjoy all of the invasions of her privacy, but its a small price to pay to be able to sing the music that has made her a millionaire many times over.
Never has it been more of a problem than now: She wants a relationship with Jonah, but understands how the past still colors his future. Wanting to do everything she can to minimize his exposure to her world, she does just that. She stays with him in his world, and life has never been sweeter.
What does cause problems is issues with her father, when he becomes violent due to his advanced Alzheimer's and people believe that Jonah is the cause. Knowing the hurt that has been done to him the past, she doesn't blame him for leaving her and breaking her heart.
Even knowing that limelight is far from where he wants to be, Jonah knows that in order to be happy he has to give Ava Grace the keys to his heart.
