Hawk's been fighting his attraction to Dawn for as long as he can remember. She's his best friend's little sister, and that means hands-off. Except now she's all grown up, and her sweet sexiness is exactly what he craves. But just as Hawk allows himself one mindblowingly intense night with Dawn, he learns that everyone he loves is in danger. Especially her. And the only way to protect Dawn is to push her away...

“Yoo-hoo,” a cheery voice chirped as
the kitchen door opened.
Hawk dropped Dawn to her feet and whirled
around, reaching for the knife he’d forgotten to place at his hip. His gun was
on the nightstand, damn it. His heart thundered, and the room narrowed into
sharp focus as he moved to defend.
“Hawk,” Dawn hissed, shoving at his
back. “Relax.” Her voice was low and throaty, and so sexy a shiver dashed down
his torso. “It’s Mrs. Hudson.”
Ah, shit. Hawk blinked and took in the
scene, forcing his body to relax. “Hi, Mrs. H.”
Mrs. Hudson, wearing a bright purple
down jacket with “Hot Mama” bedazzled across the front, led Mrs. Poppins into
the room.
Mrs. Poppins sighed. “Oh my.”
Mrs. Hudson whacked Mrs. P. with a
humongous purse. “Look what you did, Bernie. Just look what you did.”
Hawk cleared his throat and fought the
urge to shuffle his feet. Dawn stepped up next to him, her face a blazing
scarlet.
Mrs. Hudson, oddly enough, looked more
regretful than righteous or judgmental. “The cow, Dawnie. Come on. Surely you
understood about the cow, sweetie.”
Dawn swallowed audibly. “Yes, ma’am.”
Hawk frowned, turning from Mrs. Hudson
to Dawn to Mrs. Poppins. “Is there a problem with the herd, ladies?”
Mrs. Poppins coughed. “No, young man.
It’s more of a milk issue and making it too readily available.”
Mrs. Hudson sighed. “Well, that’s two
down. There are still three rules we could employ. I mean, he didn’t really
rescue her last night, you know? You should’ve called him before she changed the tire.” Then, catching herself up short, she
peered through bright red glasses at Hawk. “Don’t you have somewhere to be
today, Hawk Rains?”
When she used that voice and gave him
that look, he felt eight years old again. “Actually, I do.” He had to get back
to work, which meant he had to stop thinking about sweet Dawn Freeze and
concentrate.
Sexy and funny with a side of danger! Dawn and Hawk have some pretty intense chemistry and after years of denying their attraction, they don't hold back. One of my favorite things in this book is the humor that Mrs. Poppins and Mrs. Hudson bring with their matchmaking efforts. If you like brother's best friend / best friend's sister romances, you'll enjoy this one.
I received an ARC via NetGalley for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.
