About this listen
Ready or not - love will find a way.
Single dad Hogan Guthrie is getting his life back on track, and working as the "barbecue master" at a local diner is just a temporary detour. He and restaurant owner Violet Shaw constantly butt heads - until one night they end up mingling other parts instead. Hogan thought he had the recipe for happiness all figured out. But loyal, carefree Violet is daring him to trust his impulses...and see just how sweet small-town living - and loving - can be.
Nathan Hawley traded his SWAT team credentials for a sheriff's badge, but a gorgeous new neighbor is shaking up his orderly life. Nathan has a hunch there's more to Brooklin Sweet than meets the eye - but given her caution about getting involved, he has his work cut out for him. Still, there's something about the elusive beauty Nathan can't walk away from - and helping her come to terms with her past might pave the way to the future they both secretly long for.

Normally a huge Lori Foster fan
I wish I could return this book. Normally I love Lori Foster’s books. I don’t know if it’s just listening to it read aloud that is making it seem worse but this one is nowhere near as good as her others. The two leads, if you remove all the sex, appear to hate each other. She’s manipulative throughout the entire book, and he spends half his time kissing her to literally shut her up. Aside from that, the way the narrator pronounces restaurant as rastaurant, and since like scents, it’s very hard to get through. I’m very disappointed.
