Description
A haunted beauty inspires a Navy SEAL turned playboy bar owner to change his ways in this tender and sensual novel from the bestselling author of Hot Shot and the Heller Brothers series.
Waitressing at a tequila bar on the beach in sunny San Diego may not be what Reece Kirkwell wants to do forever, but for now it’s perfect—other than the flashbacks to the tragedy she caused in Boston. And the fact that one of her bosses is a domineering, first-class manwhore who’s as stubborn as he is sexy. If he’d just listen to her, she could double his business. But it would also mean getting close to someone, and that’s a risk she can’t afford.
Cade Hardy’s partners at Conquistadors are like his brothers, but he’s the money man trying to keep them all afloat. To blow off steam, he’s been sleeping around a little. The last thing he needs is business advice from their crazy-hot new waitress. Cade can’t figure Reece out. She’s smarter than she lets on, and she doesn’t hide her disgust for his active sex life. But after he recognizes her PTSD symptoms, Cade is determined to save her . . . unless she saves him first.

I really enjoyed this series, but to be honest, this was my least favorite book in this series. I never felt a real connection between Cade and Reese. He was the typical "bad boy" to stay away from and she was the women who was hiding something dark in her past (she did so by running away to the other side of the country and taking a waitress job that she was over qualified for).
I loved the other couples in this series and I enjoyed how the author made the books intertwine so that it was a continuation of the "gang". I just felt that Cade was going to go out with a bang. He was after all, the womanizer of the group.
