Story Blurb
Bearded, bad-boy barber Knox prefers to live his life the way he takes his coffee: Alone. Unless you count his basset hound, Waylon. Knox doesn’t tolerate drama, even when it comes in the form of a stranded runaway bride.
Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. She was riding to the rescue of her estranged twin to Knockemout, Virginia, a rough-around-the-edges town where disputes are settled the old-fashioned way…with fists and beer. Usually in that order.
Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected. The niece Naomi didn’t know she had. Now she’s stuck in town with no car, no job, no plan, and no home with an 11-year-old going on thirty to take care of.
There’s a reason Knox doesn’t do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.
At least, that’s the plan until the trouble turns to real danger.
My Thoughts/Opinion
I hadn't read a good grumpy alpha in a while, and this one fit the bill. I loved how Knox always ended up exactly where he needed to be to keep Naomi out of trouble, despite his desire to stay away from her. This book had all the feels for me. And the side plots and characters were all wonderful. I enjoyed the story a lot and was glad it lived up to the hype.
Favorite Quote/Scene: "You're the one who has to live your life. Don't apologize to other people for the decisions you make for yourself."
