Description

Sam Jennings promised his father he'd always take care of the woman who yanked him and his four brothers out of foster care. When his adoptive mom has a near-fatal heart attack, Sam knows it's past time to live up to his word.

As he sets out to put the Blackwater Diner back on its feet, he runs into his first snag. Waitress Julie Rose's sweet curves and long legs are driving Sam to distraction. Even his brothers aren't immune to her kind heart. But Sam is determined to be the only man in her bed.

Julie doesn't regret the years she lost caring for her grandmom, but now, between business classes and her job, she's left with very little time and energy for dating. Then there's her policy about never getting mixed up with the boss's son. But Sam's hard body and wicked ideas have Julie forgetting all about annoying things like rules, and she accepts his invitation to show her all she's been missing.

Sam is more than willing to take things slow as he teaches her all about the pleasures of the flesh. Luckily for him, Julie is a darned good student...

Warning: Contains explicit language, a sexy carpenter, and extra helpings of naughty fun under the stars. Heat and increased heart rate may help burn off extra holiday calories.

Review

I think I've fallen in love with this family! Seriously, these men are HOT!!! This was a great book and just what I needed at the time I read it. Perfect quick, sexy read for you summer readers. I've read Anne's books before but they were only ever good for me, this book however, is fan-freaking-tastic! She's out done herself with these characters. Nothing like a family full of big, sexy men who know how to use their hands....in more ways than one (if you catch my drift).

The characters and setting for this series are written very well. I wasn't confused by which brother was which because she didn't throw too much info at me at once. I like that she left a couple of the brothers a big mystery. I can't wait to get to their books! The love scenes are so so sexy and very steamy. I would love to have a man like Sam all to myself. Julie is one lucky woman to have found him! And no one deserves happiness and family as much as she does. What a great woman to do what she did and put her life on hold. Sam is my ideal kind of man too, big, sexy, honorable and so sweet. They really made a great couple and by the end of the book I was rooting for them to make it together.

I give this book 4 Moons and I recommend it to all those that enjoy erotica, erotic romance and even some contemporary romance lovers would love it too. Now on to Vance!
