Being a twin is great.
What isn’t great is having the hots for the same woman your twin does.
Been there, done that, have the t-shirt.
Since Auden Carter made that mistake in his teens, he’d promised himself never to do that to his brother again.
Hence why he’s tried so hard to stay away from Maven, the sexy bakery owner that seems to have been put on this planet to tempt him.
After months of watching his brother never make a move, Auden’s had enough. He tells his twin to either shit or get off the pot. Only, come to find out, his twin was never on the pot. He’d never had the hots for Maven at all, but her cute little assistant.
Unfortunately, at this point, he’d done his level best to appear undesirable to Maven, and had gone out of his way to make it very clear that he wasn’t interested.
He has a lot of work to do to convince her that he’s not the guy he’d been acting like for the last few months.
Luck is on his side, though, and soon Maven needs his help, giving him the perfect opportunity to worm his way into her life…and her heart.
But that help she needs turns into a desperate plea for protection, and all he has to do is quit his beloved job to give it.
It’s not every day that you are in love with your boss’s daughter, who just so happens to be the chief of police of Dallas, Texas—your beloved police department that you’ve worked at for your entire career.
It’s also not every day when that boss pulls out every stop, and ruins your life to the point where you’re not sure you can find your way out of the downward spiral he’s forced upon you.
There is one thing Auden knows for certain, though. Maven is worth it. He’ll fight the chief of police, or the entire world, putting his life on the line to do it, as long as it keeps her safe.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the fourth book in the Carter Brothers Series. It is the story of Auden and Maven. When these two meet the sparks are flying all over the place. However, Maven is the daughter of the police chief and he is not thrilled about this. These two will never be anything to each other if he has anything to do with it. Maven is the owner of the local bakery in town. Living under her fathers roof has always been kind of hard on Maven. He is so over the top protective that this is even funny. He was determined to make her life as miserable as he possibly could. She also has a stepbrother who is horrible right along with her son. At least her stepsister at first is halfway decent to her. But Maven is a really sweet caring girl who has made some amazing friends. I loved that she didn’t let what she had to deal with in her home life affect her in a way that people didn’t want to be around her or like her. You will fall in love with her. She is so someone you could see yourself being friends with in real life. I really adored her.
Auden is one of the Carter brother’s. He keeps running in the Maven in her bakery. His entire family loves the bakery and they go despite her jerk of a police chief father. He is not keeping him away from Maven. These two have some amazing chemistry and I was so for him not letting anything stop them. He is also a guy who is protective and has a little bit of a temper at times. He is going to make some mistakes but he always has the best intentions when it comes to Maven. I can’t say that you might not want to shake him a time or two. I really loved this book. I love the Carter family dynamic and how they all are up in each others business but love fiercely. You will love reading this book.
