World Literary Press

Blurb:
When Graham Braden travels to Oak Falls, Virginia to attend the wedding of his buddy Reed Cross to Grace Montgomery, he sticks around to help with renovations to Reed’s new theater. The last thing he expects is to be asked to assess and possibly invest in Grace’s sister Morgyn’s business endeavor. Graham is a careful, keen businessman, and Morgyn is impulsive, disorganized, and more interested in the energy flow in her eclectic retail shop than in the accuracy of her records. While Graham isn’t ready to open his pockets to the sassy, sexy business owner, he may be ready to open his heart.

Review:

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Warning, do not read the first paragraph if you don't want to get some spoils for the fourth book (even though everything I mention is pretty much taken from the blurb of that book. Also, there is some grumbling there.

I never thought of Melissa Foster as cruel, but now I do (no hate here in case someone is wondering). Why do I have to wait until June to get Brindle and Trace's book? I have so many questions here. And I am not even sure I want to read the book because there is one big question. Who is the baby daddy? Is it Trace? If it's not, do I want to read a book where the main characters were sleeping with other people when they were on the off side of their relationship? Will I go crazy? Is the pregnancy the reason why Brindle decided to remain in Paris after the date she was supposed to return? Can I have some answers now? We see them often in this book and they were always making me wonder if they were going to end up together and how soon that was gonna happen. 

As you can see, putting a minor plotline about another couple happening during the whole story and then dropping a bomb in the final chapter, can steal the spotlight from the main couple. While the next book is bound to have tons of drama in it, this one had almost nada and it's like the author wanted to balance them out. Honestly, Graham and Morgyn have the kind of bond that you know it won't break no matter what. They understand each other on a very deep level and they are ok with the personalities each had before they got together, meaning that neither wanted the other to chance. Morgyn is the one who is more like a free spirit and not like most people I know and that is a great thing. She is a type B person and just lives each other without worrying about her future.  Graham is the perfect man for her since he doesn't make me doubt that he is always gonna support her and do whatever he can to make her happy. These two were meant to be together and their whole story was very good and it flowed so easily. 

If I put aside Brindle and Trace, the book was very relaxing and it could have been a very good read to help me let go of the day and just be me, reading a book. It is another worth reading book in the series and I would recommend it 100%.

Excerpt

“What are your three most favorite things?” Morgyn asked as she strummed the guitar.
“That’s a hard one.”
“Okay, and the next two?” She bumped him with her shoulder, looking as sweet as she did sexy wearing one of his flannel shirts over her dress.
He loved her quirky sense of humor.
“Shouldn’t that be one of your favorite things?” he teased.
She shifted her gaze up toward the sky and strummed a faster tune, singing, “It’s your turn, not mine.”
“I’ve got a lot of favorite things.” He ran his fingers along her leg. “Your sexy legs.”
Her eyes darkened, and she played a little slower.
“And the way flecks of darker blue glitter in your eyes when you get turned on.”
“Cracker,” she said just above a whisper.
“I can’t help it that you’re beautiful.”
“Stop. You’re embarrassing me. Tell me something real.”
“That was real, and number three would be your free spirit.”
“Says Mr. Prepared, who brought a pop-up shower stall, a battery-operated heater, and a Coleman stove like my grandfather used. I’m willing to bet there’s a kitchen sink around here somewhere.”
“No sink, but I can rig one up if you need it.” He leaned in for a kiss, lingering because her kisses were unlike any others. She kissed with the same energy she seemed to do everything else, giving herself over to it completely, savoring every second.
Her eyes remained closed for a few heated seconds after their lips parted. When she opened them, a sated smile appeared like a gift. He wondered if she kissed other guys like that, or if she felt the same unfamiliar, unstoppable connection he did.
“I like kissing you, sunshine.” He brushed her hair behind her ear and kissed her again, slower and sweeter than the last. “I’m adding that to my list. I think I need more than three things.”
