ABOUT THE BOOK

Grumpy, angry, a curmudgeon…

Who uses the word ‘curmudgeon’ anymore?

Those are the words used to describe my new boss and some other less than flattering words. The new boss who doesn’t even know I’ve been hired to invade his private sanctum and run the show. I’m the new cook for Tobias Reynolds, a Montana Cowboy with a surly attitude. I shouldn’t work for him given my background, but my options are limited and it’s a temporary arrangement.

A violent man left me scars, mostly invisible ones, but they promise me that Tobias will never lay a hand on me. One look at my new boss and I know it’s not his anger I fear, but the raging desire for his touch coursing through me.

They were wrong about the boss. Tobias can’t seem to keep his hands off me and I don’t want him to stop.

Beautiful, broken, mine…

That’s what I see when I look at Ava. From the first second, I saw her, it felt like I’d been tackled to the ground my chest ached so intensely. I want to keep her, but this is just a temporary stop for her. She’s running from someone. Given the black eye, she’s sporting, I’m guessing it’s someone who needs to be taught a lesson.

I’ve spent my time in the spotlight, but now I’ve gone back to my roots, working my family’s ranch. Some say I’m like a grizzly bear with a thorn in his paw, but I just want to work and go home to a good homecooked meal and some peace and quiet which has been hard to come by.

It’s not until she shows up that I realize how much more I want out of life. I’ll slay all her dragons, destroy her fears, and do all I can to get her to stay.

TOUR HOSTED BY HEA PR More

This is book two in the series and takes place 6 years after Lara. It can easily stand alone except that there is a side plot with some drama and its related to some stuff from the first book. I do think this book easily stands alone though. 

This is Tobias' story and he is an ex football player who is a bit on the grumpy and grouchy side because he lives alone in a small town and runs his ranch by himself. His sister Lara lives with her husband and family in Chicago and we get to see Lara and Landon in this story as well. It was great to see how they are doing no that they have been married awhile and have a bunch of kids.

The story begins around Christmas and also continues into the new year . It has a bit of insta-love/lust when Tobias sees Ava for the first time. Ava is also a young woman who is single and comes from a family where she has been abused. So I just want to warn you that incase its a sensitive subject. Its more after the fact than during and is the reason that she takes off and ends up on Tobias ranch during the holidays. How she gets there is kinda cool.

This was a hot story and I loved how hard Tobias falls for Ava and how she falls for him as well. There is a little bit of drama with Ava's family and Tobias' stalker. He has a stalker from his football playing days and he also has some disgruntled employees. So they all add to the story and add some drama to this romance.

I have really enjoyed the authors writing and characters. She is a new author for me and I had never read her before Lara and Tobias' books but I really enjoyed both stories. 

I received a complimentary early release copy of this e-book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
