This book features a hero that if you read Any Man of Mine will remember. Autumn's brother, Vince is the star of this show. If you'll remember back to AMoM, Vince was Autumn's brother that was a Navy SEAL who came back to help her take care of her young son, Connor. In this book, Vince goes to the Lone Star state to see what his Aunt wants and to get away for a little bit. He's not a fan of Autumn's fiance Sam and he's not looking forward to the wedding. He's in Texas, a long way from Seattle and before he knows what's what, he's bought his Aunts Gas and Go mart and he's in the process of fixing it up.

On his way into town, he runs into a bit of car trouble and finds himself stranded, until a cute blonde comes to save the day. Her name is Sadie and her being back in town is sure to cause some talk.

Seeing Vince in action and getting into his head in this book was a treat for me since I became a fan of his in his sister's book, Any Man of Mine. I was looking forward to getting to know him and I loved him, just like I knew I would. He was such a man's man and I ate his character up. Him and Becca's relationship had me cracking up. What he thought, what Becca thought, what they really thought of each other and then Sadie's reaction to it all? Was the exact same reaction I had.

It was also good to see him to come to terms with Autumn's relationship with Sam. It was nice to see that played out in this book as well because I felt like it was brought up in AMoM and then just dropped. I loved the little pieces of Autumn, Sam and Connor in this book.

Rachel Gibson does a great job of writing a humorous contemporary romance with just enough steam to keep you turning the pages and not need to take a shower. I'm a total fan of the way she writes her stories, the way that she fleshes out her characters and still keep us laughing the whole way through. She created a new world for us in this book and I can't wait for more. I'm mighty curious to see who's next to get their story from this town in Texas. I love stories set in Texas because the people from around there are so colorful and just too funny.

I'm glad that I read this book, I enjoyed the romance between Vince and Sadie, I enjoyed getting to know the people from Sadie's past and I'm glad that she was able to make friends in a place where she didn't have very many friends. I even enjoyed getting to know Sadie's Dad. It was all wrapped up nicely in an entertaining story and I will definitely be back for more.

Grade: 4.5 out of 5
