I absolutely hate to say this, but this was the first ever Lori Foster that I did not like.
I might even go so far as to say that I disliked it :(
Violet was not sassy and independent and spirited as so many of Ms Fosters heroines; she came across as sort of a bitch. She was snarky but without the usual humour that we expect from Ms Foster that softens harsh comments and makes them cute and quirky; she was jealous without an apparent soft vulnerability and she was thoughtless and selfish in actions. She got a single Dad fired (which, what the heck? Do Americans not have sexual harassment standards in their workplaces? How was that weird scenario even comprehensible?) The success of her business appears to rely on some part-time employees BBQ skills, and she's run it without making changes until the behest of Hogan. It just strikes a wrong and unlikeable chord.
I was really intrigued by Nathan's story, but the two books seemed entwined and I couldn't preopery skip to find his parts. Even Colt was entertaining and I'd have loved to read more of him; but again, I couldn't filter out the Violet/Hogan.

A really sweet installment in this series. Violet and Hogan are an engaging couple and the previous couples show up and keep the story going.
