Review

This was one of the couple of books of this series that I hadn’t actually read. I think I began reading this series and then got so tangled up in the Bliss, Colorado series that I forgot to come back to it. So I am thrilled to rediscover this amazing series. This book is all about starting over in some capacity. For Bethany “Mouse” Hobbes that is learning who she is beyond Bo O’Malley’s best friend (whom she has been in love with her whole life) or her parents’ daughter or even as Mouse, the name the whole town calls her.

For Bo O’Malley is means stepping out of his brother’s shadow to become his own man. It means standing up to those who don’t understand his brother’s lifestyle and aren’t really his friends. Finding a way to show Bethany just how he feels before it’s too late and dealing with Trev McNamara, the friend from high school who let me down when he needed him the most.

Trev McNamara has his own problems. He left Deer Run a high school hero and has returned a recovering addict. He lost his career and the whole town pretty much hates him. He has spent the last few years getting clean under the care of Julian Lodge and Leo Meyer at the infamous BDSM club that Julian owns. Now he has one year of working on a ranch before he gets his big payout that he needs to invest in his own ranch.

Sounds like a lot going on right? There is but from the moment Trev sees Bethany everyone’s worlds change. I love that Trev doesn’t call Bethany Mouse and he speaks up every single time someone else does. Bo was the one I wanted to punch a few times. One, I wanted him to just get on board with the threesome. I mean dang! It took him forever it seemed and then when he did more drama ensued.

Wanda, the dispatcher at the Sheriff’s office was the best secondary character! She was so funny and I found myself looking forward ot any scene she was in. We have the added scenes with Liam form Masters and Mercenaries in this release and while I didn’t read the original release of the book he added a lot to it in my opinion. I am so loving all of the releases from Lexi Blake writing as Sophie Oak.

Read An Excerpt

Bo walked up, his boots resounding against the pavement. His dark-blond hair was curling over his shirt collar. He was so beautiful, but in a different way than Trev. His hand came out to touch her shoulder. “What’s wrong?”

And he’d always been able to read her when he bothered to try. “I didn’t get the loan.”

She tensed a bit. Bo hadn’t wanted her to buy the house in the first place. He would probably tell her it was for the best and now she could sell the land to a developer and move someplace safer and way more boring.

“Oh, baby, I’m sorry.” Bo pulled her against his chest right there in the middle of Main Street. He wrapped his arms around her. “I know what that meant to you.”

She froze for a moment. He usually kept his affectionate nature private. It was sweet to be held by him, something she’d dreamed of a thousand times. He still smelled like the soap from the shower he’d insisted on taking before they left for town. His well-worn cotton shirt was soft against her cheek, but his chest was all muscle. After a moment, she let herself sink into him. The tears were back. She couldn’t hold them off when he was giving her a place to cry.

“I don’t know what to do. They said I don’t qualify. I have to have that money. I can’t fix up the house without it.”

His hand found her hair. “It’s going to be okay. We’ll find another bank. Hell, Aidan knows lots of people with money. You’ll see. It’s going to be okay. Now, come on, dry those tears and let’s go get some pie. I was talking to Jerry at the feed store, and he said Patty had pecan today.”

She loved pecan pie.

Relief washed over her as Bo began to lead her toward the diner. She’d been terrified that Bo would be angry that she was seeing Trev. She’d played it off as nothing, but she’d been scared he would turn away.

Instead, he opened the door for her and started to ask her about her plans. He seemed interested for the first time. Bo ordered for them both and then gave her his full attention. He was quieter than she’d ever seen him before. Well, except for that night when she’d had to find her way to Austin to get him. He’d been quieter then. He hadn’t talked for days. She didn’t like to think about that night.

“Hey,” Bo said, leaning over and putting a hand over hers. “It’s going to be okay, you know. We’ll find a way to get your house fixed up. Tell me something, is that boyfriend of yours going to be worth anything beyond hauling you into bathrooms in the middle of the day? Does he know anything about home repair?”

She flushed, but Bo had said the words with no accusation in his tone, just a sad smile on his face. She shook her head. “He told me to buy a book.”

Bo sighed. “We’re in trouble. Well, show me your plans. Let’s see how screwed we are.”

He gave her that smile that lit up her world and reminded her of all the reasons she’d fallen in love with him in the first place. He was a sunny presence. He always made her laugh, and deep down, he understood her.

Trev was her lover, but she would miss Bo. She would miss him so much.

She showed him her list, and by the time they were done, she felt better.

She would find a way. She would fix her house, and she would keep Trev and Bo in her life. She needed them.
