Book Blurb:
Delaney Hart has come a long way from her wild youth, dating tattooed bikers at her father’s bar, The Bad Seed. But when his death pulls her back to Wildwood, California, she must stay to renovate the dive he left her. And also face the lies and secrets that sent her running ten years before.
When Wildwood’s chief building inspector, Ethan Hayes, shows up on the property, Delaney doesn’t recognize him. The last thing he wants to do is save the bar where his cousin died in a brawl. But the good boy from her past is all too willing to remind her of the bad girl she used to be. And one night of passion leaves them both in a compromising position.
The last place Ethan should be is in Delaney’s bed. Guilt, family pressure, and plans for a brewpub of his own make shutting down The Bad Seed his top priority…until his feelings for Delaney interfere. Because her future depends on the success of the bar’s renovation and his dreams are rooted in its failure, their forbidden romance may be destined for heartbreak.

Review:
I knew this was going to be one hot drama filled story after the first chapter, and I am here for it.
Delaney and Ethan are two fire crackers trying, but failing to keep from igniting each other. They have a shared past, messy familial relationships and each are at a turning point in their lives that will either set them up for success or leave them devastated.
It was unfair of Ethan to sleep with Delaney without her knowing exactly who he was. That was the only thing that stayed in the back of my mind throughout the story. Outside of that, this was a great story and I cannot wait for the remaining books in the series.
MVP Characters: Phoebe and Harlan
