The plot was awesome in this book, but there was just so much that threw me out of the story that I just can't say that I enjoyed it. I kept rewriting it in my mind and that just made for a disjointed narrative.

Looking for a new start after the tragic death of her mother, Adeline Rodriguez left Miami behind. After years of trying to find "her" place she ends up in Verona Bay, Florida where she is now a co-owner in a dog grooming business. She has a lot of secrets and baggage that keeps her from attempting to have a relationship with a man. She has formed deep friendships with several women but is terrified to put herself out with a man, even the super-hot, ripped Mac Collins.

Mac Collins gave up his career in the Marines to come back to Verona Bay and raise his two young brothers after the death of their parents. The boys are now young men, Mac has a successful custom woodworking business and now he is ready for the relationship he never could have imagined in his misspent youth. He just has to get Adeline to feel the same and after the hard "no" he got to his ask for a first date, that is going to be a real problem.

When fate puts them in the same cabin on a stormy weekend, Mac and Adeline get to know each other and that "no" becomes a "yes" to that first date. The reappearance of someone from that misspent youth causes Mac to make one really tough decision, but Adeline's safety is more important. Fate has decreed that the path to HEA for Mac and Adeline is going to be muddy and filled with danger and murder.
