What an intriguing novel that I ate up in one sitting! I liked the hard working Lindsey who took over the bar that he dad left her. For three generations the bar had ben handed down and I loved that she continued the tradition. I did not like Grant, her son's father as he tried to control her with his wealth and his manipulative ways when he conned her to let him have full custody of their blind son. I liked that Vince picked on Lindsey's irritation when his brother and her best friend did not. I was warmed by his need to protect her and he acted on his desire for her. Vince was ten years older than her and at first, she was just a girl that his younger brother hung out with but once she moved back to Charlotte, he felt more attracted to her. I did not read the first books so I did not have the full effect of the Freeman brothers but did not have any problem with keeping up! ( )
