His upright nature will teach her to love again.
Her fiery spirit will bring him back to life.
Allie
Ward is swearing off men for good. She’s had it with their lying,
thieving, and cheating ways. What she needs to focus on is bettering
herself and her business.
But the studly, new investor to her
“Sticky and Sweet” honey company, Brandon Carroll, keeps getting in her
head. He’s not like the guys she’s dated before. He’s reserved, tough,
hard to rile, and surprisingly flirty when she least expects it. She’s
torn between wanting to hide from him, and wanting to kiss the life out
of him. But, she’ll do neither because she’s a professional . . . and
done with men.
Ex-military police officer, Brandon Carroll falls
fast for Allie Ward. With her open, crazy, and vivacious zest for life,
she’s exactly what he needs to mend his broken heart. But when a ghost
from his past rears its sinister head, Brandon will have more than a
gorgeous, fighting redhead to deal with. By law, he must keep the
mounting dangers stamped “top secret” from her.
But Allie isn’t going to tolerate secrets. In fighting to keep his past from her, he just might lose her for good.
My Review: 4 Stars
It always seems like you meet someone when you swear you're done looking, and that's just what happened to Allie. Brandon and Allie had an instantaneously clash of chemistry that was fun to watch this sweet romance unfold.
Both Brandon and Allie are fun characters. The random friends that appeared were entertaining too, especially the sneak attacks. While there's also a reason for why people do what they do, Brandon and Allie each had a flaw that didn't sit well with me, so it's a good thing they're both so likable--that made it easier to overlook those minor annoyances.
Harvest Ranch is a great small town and I would have loved to see more of it and its residents in this story, but I loved the mix of romance and danger. The kernels of suspense hinted at more and I loved how everything came together, popping the characters into the middle of a perilous situation. But I must say, that ending was the butter drizzled on top--sweet perfection!
