SYNOPSIS:
Jasper
The kitchen: it’s my domain, where I create the best burgers in the Midwest. I’m the man behind the grill at Burgers and Brew, the restaurant and bar I co-own with my best friends. Every night, we’re packed, the demand has never been this high. It’s the only way I want it, thriving and pushing myself to be the very best.
Then she started her new business across the street from mine.
The one woman who always got under my skin, who pushed me to be better. Lyndee was my biggest rival in school and my biggest regret.
Now, she’s in town, and as much as I try, I just can’t stay away.
I want her.
Lyndee
A new start: that’s what Stewart Grove means for me and my brother. He’s the one who pushed me to take the chance on opening my own bakery. I am ready for the long hours, the grueling schedule, and the hard work it will take to be successful.
I wasn’t at all prepared to come face-to-face with the man across the street.
An almost kiss in college with the world’s most infuriating man has haunted me for the last decade. Now Jasper’s here, and I don’t think I can resist him.
Things are about to heat up in and out of the kitchen.
I just pray I don’t get burned.

REVIEW:
The Burgers and Brew Crüe series is about four college buddies who own the hot and happening gourmet burger and brew pub slash busy bar in Stewart Grove, Ohio. Don’t Go Away Mad is book two in the series, and it’s a second-chance, enemies to lovers romance.
I really love this group of friends. Don’t Go Away Mad focuses on the chef of the group, grumpy and growly Jasper, and his arch nemesis from culinary school, Lyndee. They had a bit of a cantankerous relationship back in school between their competitive rivalry and constantly pushing each other’s buttons. Not to mention that there was this one “missed opportunity” that neither one of them has forgotten. Fast forward a few years, and Jasper finds out that Lyndee was opening a bakery across the street from the pub. Lyndee is a fierce and feisty 5 foot, two inch baker. She’s loyal, she’s hardworking and she’s taking care of her disabled brother. This bakery is her lifelong dream, and she is not going to let Jasper derail it.
The chemistry between Jasper and Lyndee is electric. Their banter is snappy and witty and the kind that leaves sparks in its wake. The push and the pull between was exciting, and I was hooked and rooting for them from the start. A seriously sexy and swoony romance, a plot that had me tapping my Kindle furiously and a town full of hilariously endearing characters made this another unputdownable, fun to read story from Black. Full of heart, heat and humor, I loved every single word of this charming story! Five smooches from me for Don’t Go Away Mad by Lacey Black!
