Definitely worth the wait!!!! I love the double story line and getting to see two couples find their HEA, I don't think I've seen that before reading this series. Hogan has a lot of trust issues revolving around women after his now deceased wife betrayed him. He tried burying his anger and grief with meaningless flings and has finally realized that those flings were not only hurting him but also his 17 year old son Colt. Hogan works for Violet Shaw, a red headed temptress and diner owner, as her new barbecue master grilling his awesome ribs with his secret sauce. The chemistry between them is off the charts but Hogan doesn't think he can give Violet anything but a temporary relationship. Violet wants and respects Hogan but is married to her diner and isn't used to depending on anyone but herself. She knows loving him would be a mistake because he won't let himself love again. With the diner's business booming more then ever thanks to Hogan, their relationship also starts blooming as they decide to give in to their chemistry and see where it takes them. Hogan is a wonderful character, he lost everything when his wife betrayed him but he picked himself and his son up and moved on. Violet is awesome, a red headed firecracker with a temper to match. She is independent and in charge, she speaks her mind and truly cares about the people around her. I think Colt is my favorite character, he is everything I think a person should be, courteous, respectful, fun, brave and caring, he definitely deserves his own story. The second storyline was about Nathan, who is the sheriff, lead singer of the Drunken Monkeys and friend to Hogan, Jason and Sullivan. A new neighbor moves in next door to Nathan and he is attracted to her from the first time he sees her. She is very private and avoids him the best she can but Nathan is persistent and finally learns that her name is Brooklyn and she creates jewelry. Nathan continues to pursue Brooklyn and she finally lets him in enough to start a tentative relationship. When she become friends with Violet and together the pair is almost ran down by a van, Brooklyn will have to entrust Nathan with her secrets so they can find who wants to hurt Brooklyn and now Violet by association. The second storyline isn't as detailed since its in the background to the main storyline but still fun to read, it isn't a distraction as it is seamlessly interwoven with the main storyline. Nathan is a protector through and through and Brooklyn definitely need a protector. It was awesome to learn some of Nathan's history to give him more depth as a character, Brooklyn was a perfect match for him.*I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader copy of this book.*
