About the Book:
Brady Davis is as happy as he is charming. Usually. Unless he’s in the same room with the frustratingly gorgeous antidote to his cheer. Mia Kendrick is headstrong and determined. She’s done with men who stand in her way—even if he has arms like Thor and a smile that makes her dizzy. Whenever they’re together, sparks fly—both the bad and good kind.
When Mia returns home to take over management of Kendrick Place, Brady is worried her focus on big business could be the end of his tight-knit home and the family he’s created there. Mia may have the power to change everything, but Brady could have the power to change her mind…if he can get inside her heart.

My Thoughts:
Mia Kendrick is not having a good day. She has a very tough job and at times she has
to do something she doesn’t like to do.
Brady Davis has gone out of his way to help those that he likes. It’s interesting to watch this hate/love
relationship begin and flower.
Mia seems to always have to prove herself. She also seems to have a hard time trusting
people this makes it hard to make friends and have relationships. It also seems like her job rules her life –
makes it hard to be a woman. Brady seems
to be a very easygoing type of guy. He
also seems to really care about people – a true book boyfriend. They are two people on opposites of the
spectrum and it’s hard to picture these two as a couple. But if you are patient things will begin to
piece together in this sweet romance. It
takes time to warm up to Mia but Brady seems up for the challenge.
This book is part of a series but if this is your first book
that’s ok because this could be read as a standalone. I always love an ending that has me
smiling. It’s a great introduction to
this author if you’ve never read her work before. And if you have read her work maybe this will
have you wanting to read more – she has plenty to choose from.
Excerpt:
When he walked her to her door, they stood staring at each other. She was the only woman who could look at him and make it feel as if she were touching him.
“Are you waiting for permission?” she whispered.
His hand moved to her waist. Was he? Or was he scared once he started he wouldn’t be able to stop? “Do I need to?”
He felt, more than saw, the subtle shake of her head. His mouth touched hers, parting her lips. He inhaled and all he could taste was Mia and it consumed him. Holy Christ, kissing her the second time was a ten-star, whole-body, every-cell-tingling event. Heat spread from the unwinding knot in his stomach through every part of his body. Moving one hand to her hair, he tightened his grip on her waist. Turning so their bodies aligned, he took the kiss deeper, like somehow he could push their differences so far away, they wouldn’t matter. When they were touching each other like this, nothing else mattered. Her fingers curled into his shirt as he backed her against the door.
She pushed her arms up and around his neck, holding on like he was the only thing saving her from drowning. He was drowning in her. Waves of coiled lust, cresting so hard in his stomach, he knew he needed to pull back, rein himself in. How could there be this much passion between them when they’d only just decided to like each other? If just kissing her made him frantic, what would more be like? More would be ripping his rules to shreds and lighting them on fire. His heart beat like a wild animal. He pulled away slowly, then pressed his lips to the pulse point in her neck, satisfied with its quick pace. Her breaths came in short bursts, matching his.
She surprised him once again when her lips curled upward and she remarked, “That’s definitely more than a truce.”
