 4.5 Smooches

Synopsis

Rex Gunner. As bitter as he is beautiful.

The owner of the largest construction company in Gingham Lakes has been burned one too many times. His wife leaving him to raise their daughter was the last blow this single dad could take. The only woman he’ll let into his heart is his little girl.

Rynna Dayne. As vulnerable as she is tempting.

She ran from Gingham Lakes when she was seventeen. She swore to herself she would never return. Then her grandmother passed away and left her the deed to the diner that she once loved.

When Rex meets his new neighbor, he knows he’s in trouble.

She’s gorgeous and sweet and everything he can’t trust.

Until she becomes the one thing he can’t resist.

One kiss sends them tumbling toward ecstasy.

But in a town this size, pasts are bound to collide. Caught in a web of lies, betrayal, and disloyalty, Rex must make a choice.

Will he hide behind his walls or will he take the chance . . .

Review

I love A.L. Jackson’s writing, it’s just perfection. This is the first book in her new Fight For Me series and I have to say if the characters we have been introduced to in this book then I am so excited for the subsequent books.

Let’s talk about Rex Gunner for a minute. Can I just tell you how much I love a single dad book. HECK YEAH! I was already on board just knowing that and then I find out how mean he is to Rynna. I am a sucker for a book boyfriend who goes from mean to amazing. I love the transformation and Rex fits that bill perfectly. It would be easy to be mad at his standoffness if we didn’t get these perfect moments of him being the absolute perfect single dad. He was fun, playful, thoughtful and so sweet and kind to his daughter. I loved for those moments and in them I was able to see his true nature.

Now Rynna, her demons in this small town have haunted her for the years since she left but she finally has the strength to face her fears. After moving back home to take over her grandmothers diner she is instantly drawn to the hot yet grumpy man across the street. I love Rynna’s persistence in pursing a friendship with Rex. Her sweet nature balanced his grumpiness back at her.

Show Me The Way has everything you need in a good book, a hot alpha man, strong heroine, lovable kid, a twist, extreme heat, and a whole cast of characters you just want to know more about. I really enjoyed this new series from A.L. Jackson and look forward to seeing what is next.
