Reviewer’s Thoughts
Owen is the older brother of the infamous McBride brothers. After leaving his hell raising days behind, becoming a lawyer and helping raise his nieces, Owen wants to have a family of his own. Owen has noticed Claire, the coffee shop owner, on every occasion he brings his nieces to her establishment. Heβs always wanted to ask Claire out but she just doesnβt seem receptive. That is, until a case of mistaken identity has Claire and Owen crossing paths once again. Could this mistake be the blessing they both need or will the cost of their happiness be their demise?
I absolutely loved the book. I saw so much of me in Claire it was a little scary but I could completely relate to her trust issues in regards to her previous marriage. I also loved how Owen was patient with Claire and was able to get her to trust someone again. Β What I also enjoyed was the mystery involving the clientβs ex-husband and his actions throughout the book.
I was so glad to see Rain and Brody in this book as well as more of Dylan McBride, cousin to Owen and Brody and sheriff of their small town.Β I always like catching up on previous couples and looking forward to new ones. Dylanβs book is next and Iβm really looking forward to meeting the lucky lady who steals, or has stolen, his heart.
