I was very excited about this book as soon as I finished "That Thing Called Love." I wanted to know all about Jake's quiet, manly brother! And I knew I would enjoy this book just like I do all of the other ones by Susan.
The book takes place in the same town just a few weeks after TTCL. Deputy Max Bradshaw is attracted to Harper who is new in town and working at his soon-to-be-sister-in-law's inn. Even though he looks imposing and is quiet, Max is not your typical romance hero. For one thing, he loves to dance! He also volunteers with teens in a group home. And he has never tried any beer besides Bud!
Harper is not upfront with her reasons for being in town. While she is adamant about frequently traveling and not settling down, she is there to make sure that the group home is a good match for money given out by her parent's charity. She finagles a volunteer job there to make sure and that puts her into even closer contact with Max. Sparks fly from the beginning, but the story is not just about them.
Harper's frequent moves left her without having close female friends. Soon, Jenny and Tasha bring her into their group and she discovers what she has missed.
I love the way both characters stood up for themselves at the end. The outcome flt real because of the emotions that they spent the book working through. I really liked this books and I like to think she modeled Max after Joe Manganiello.
I received an ecopy of this book from the publisher
