Summary

Ready or not...love will find a way

Single dad Hogan Guthrie is getting his life back on track, and working as the "barbecue master" at a local diner is just a temporary detour. He and restaurant owner Violet Shaw constantly butt heads...until one night they end up mingling other parts instead. Hogan thought he had the recipe for happiness all figured out. But loyal, carefree Violet is daring him to trust his impulses...and see just how sweet small-town living--and loving--can be.

Nathan Hawley traded his SWAT team credentials for a sheriff's badge, but a gorgeous new neighbor is shaking up his orderly life. Nathan has a hunch there's more to Brooklin Sweet than meets the eye--but given her caution about getting involved, he has his work cut out for him. Still, there's something about the elusive beauty Nathan can't walk away from--and helping her come to terms with her past might pave the way to the future they both secretly long for.

Publisher's Weekly Review

Foster's second Guthrie Brothers contemporary (after Don't Tempt Me) is a tolerable if saccharine standalone that neither surprises nor disappoints. Screwy Louie's, a diner in sleepy Clearbrook, Ohio, sets the scene for sugar, spice, and a soupçon of suspense as owner Violet Shaw develops a taste for barbecue master Hogan Guthrie's ribs. Reformed bad boy Hogan gets more heat from Violet than from his grill. Meanwhile, danger lurks for Clearbrook newcomer Brooklin Sweet, but her next door neighbor, sheriff Nathan Hawley, is only too happy to lend a protective hand. Clichéd Midwestern wholesomeness abounds among the characters but doesn't get in the way of their progressively steamy encounters. Though not all of Foster's readers will feel that the title fulfills its promise, many will enjoy this slow-moving and uncomplicatedly charming tale. Agent: Steve Axelrod, Axelrod Agency.
