I look forward to reading the other books in this series.

I fell in love with this series when I read book one , One More Round and then again with book 2, Straight, No Chaser. This one too was a wonderful story about family, love and overcoming fears and adversities.
This story belongs to Kenzie, the youngest sibling and only girl of the family. As a teenager she was attacked and that has made her cautious of men and dating. That is , until Navy chief Brett Craven shows up.
But he too has personal disappointments , trust issues and doesn’t want anything serious.
Watching these two interact and develop feelings , as well as how caring Brett was with Kenzie, was both fun and touching.
It’s a story about taking chances, trusting someone special, letting go of fears, and giving love a chance. It’s also a story about the power of love within a family.
Definitely a story worth your time. Can’t wait to see what Ms Stevens has in store Aleck, the oldest sibling.
I was entrusted this ARC by Netgalley and Tule. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Like her brothers Kenzie doesn't have a filter, "realization dawned and her eyes went round. "You're that bloody sailor I promised to have dinner with." Brett he is a funny drunk, "bread. That doesn't sound - oh my God." He spun to the group of sailors. "Which one of y'all is driving me home? Can we go to Taco Bell?" Kenzie she's not a shy girl in the bedroom actually she's not shy anywhere, "left only in his briefs, he watched her wide-eyed reaction as she stared at his d***, straining against the fabric. "You'd best let that guy out," she murmured huskily. "He looks a bit in pain." I do love this series but I'm telling you I can't wait for Aleck's book he and Delonna have this back and forth thing going on.
