ABOUT THE BOOK

Life isn’t all mai tais, coconut cupcakes and the big “O,” but it should be.

I met Wes on a beach in Hawaii. Tall, tan, unruly blond hair and don’t even get me started on that gritty southern accent.

To the locals, he was Wes, “The manta ray whisperer.” To me, he was an infuriating, too young for me surfer dude.

But that didn’t stop me from falling into bed with him.

Being with Wes was thrilling, but he’s all wrong for me. All wrong for my life. After our week was over, I snuck out of his beach house without a goodbye. I was never going to see him again, right?

How wrong I was when I walked into Cardwell Bourbon a few months later to find

Weston Cardwell and those smoldering green eyes staring at me from across a conference table.

Working together will be a challenge. His family is counting on me to save their bourbon empire.

Wes and I have nothing in common except for our hot for each other chemistry—it’s hotter than the copper lining in a bourbon barrel.

But that’s the thing about copper, it’s an effective heat conductor—maybe too effective.

This is book 3 in the series and while I have never read the other books, I fell in love with this story and all the characters and I plan to read the first two books in the series as well.

This story stars Minka (I did not love her name) who is a 36 year old wealthy woman who charters a private yacht in Hawaii and meets 29 year old, Wes, a surfer and the guy who saves Minka while on the yacht. They end having a very hot and sexy fling while she is visiting Hawaii.

They both really fall hard for each other but feel it will never work until they run into each other again. And I am not spoiling how and why that happens.

Being as I have not read the other books in the series, I was never lost but I want to read them because they sound like awesome stories and I adored how the author told this story. In this story we watch Wes grow up and become the man he was always supposed to be and we get to know his awesome family and where he came from and his legacy. Minka, is all grown up with a daughter and in this story we watch as she forms a connections and grows as she gets to know Wes and his family. I loved how she had some really tough decisions on what her future should be for herself and her daughter.

This was a wonderfully romantic and fun story with awesome characters and I look forward to checking out the first two books in the series as well. If you love a second chance at romance with deep southern roots and a close family, you will adore this story.
