Walker

There’s nothing better than a packed house on a Saturday night, and co-owning the hottest restaurant and bar in town with my best friends, isn’t so bad either. We put everything into Burgers and Brew. My job is to keep the alcohol moving and the patrons coming back for more. I won’t let anyone break my focus.

That was until I saw her.

As much as I try, I can’t fight it. Mallory makes me crave a future I never wanted for my own.

Now, I want it all.

Mallory

When I started my new job at a local specialty burger restaurant, I wasn’t expecting to find a tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome distraction in the form of Walker Meyer. He’s one of the owners, which means hands off. Only problem, it’s a lot easier said than done.

Especially when he’s so good with my daughter.

I try to keep him at a distance, but he’s insistent, slowly breaking down every one of my walls. He’s fighting to convince me I can trust him with not only my heart, but my daughter’s too.

I pray he’s right.

This was exactly what I was looking for. It was a low angst romance and those are my favorite to read. It was my first from Lacey Black and I’m hoping that her backlist reads like this too because I want to read more from this author.

Walker and Mallory were a great couple to read about! The chemistry was there from the beginning and I was hooked because of the will they won’t they moments. Every time I thought they would kiss, it wouldn’t happen. I was shouting at my kindle “kiss already!”.

“In a short amount of time, I fell in love. Hard. It was confusing and scary, but I couldn’t walk away from it—from her—if I tried. She’s under my skin and embedded in my heart, right where she’s supposed to be.”

Besides our two main characters, I adored Mallory’s daughter and the Burger and Brews Crue! I’m a sucker for cute kids and Lizzy was adorable y’all! I wanted to reach through the pages and pinch her cheeks. Besides Lizzy being adorable, I can’t wait for more upcoming books because I’m excited to learn more about this group of men. They have an awesome friendship and I hope they all get a happily ever after. Also, we had a bit of suspense here with Mallory’s ex and that added more to the plot.

Overall, I enjoyed this and I’m super excited for Jasper’s book. I am going to add books from the author’s backlist to my TBR soon.
