Worse, he’s more tempting than ever. Spurred on by Laurel’s rejection a decade ago, Jonah cleaned up his act and became an academic and psychologist, who helps everyone understand their feelings except himself. He can think of a million reasons why he and Laurel need to stay at arms’ length, but when she shares her new recipes with him, it seems like foreplay. And that’s just the beginning… Can he and Laurel seize a second chance or will she destroy the peace he’s worked so hard for?
MY REVIEW:
This story was such an interesting yet
overwhelming depiction of the mind games that we can be placed in by our
parents to the point that we can’t see straight.
Well, Laurel’s father Frank passes away
leaving her the family bar and restaurant.
What no one knows at the time is that he has left her severely in debt
to numerous creditors. So, she needs to
not only take care of her mom alcoholic brother, and the business but the debt
too.
But being that she went to school to be a
chef it has piqued her interest and given her a challenge, a goal if you
will. But when she meets up with HIM the
old flame that she left behind it is felt in the middle of her chest. When she gives him a taste of her baked goods
watching him is almost orgasmic.
So, as she continues to cook, she
continues to bring samples to him to try.
He tries to stop her saying things were different that he is a recovering
alcoholic now he doesn’t drink, doesn’t do relationships or emotional upheaval.
Basically, any relationship with her that
works for a few days. But then like
magnets there back sneaking around like in high school. Neither mom likes the other child. When Laurel tries to change the restaurant too
fast the town folk start pushing back.
Although, Jonah’s timings bad when he
tells them what he says is correct and valuable. But cause a wedge. About this same time, he finds out some crazy
information about his family that causes a mental meltdown. Laurel, of course, is there for him.
I enjoyed the tub and pull of this book
the characters had real things in their lives that truly effect a lot of
households. The only thing that bothered
me was the dry drunk and no healthy support system in place to shore him
up. A lot of unanswered questions. I hope in the next book it will shore them
up.
I give this: 4 stars. Provided by netgalley.com. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com.
