Publisher's summary

It wasn't just her homemade brownies that made Walker find Elissa irresistible....

When ex-Marine Walker Buchanan stops to help Elissa Towers change a tire, he tells himself it's just the neighborly thing to do. And when Elissa finds herself baking him a thank-you pie, she's just returning the favor...right?

Both of them have sworn off dating: Elissa's determined to protect her little girl, and that means ditching her taste for dangerous men...especially former Marines with dark secrets.

Walker knows that he's not cut out for hearth and home...his own crazy family made sure of that.

But the sparks won't stop flying between them.

Now the two are struggling to keep their relationship "just friends", but with every kiss, their rules fly out the window.

Critic reviews

"Mallery is at her addictive best in the charming second installment of her Buchanan family saga....The best-selling author crafts vivid characters and a winning story about the risk and joy of second love, studded with warm, alluring sex scenes." (Publishers Weekly)

Truly Irresistible

A quick, fun listen that completely sucked me in. I've never read any of Susan Mallery's books before, and I got the feeling there was some backstory I was missing, but it was definitely fine as a standalone. Reminded me a lot of Susan Elizabeth Phillips -- really engaging, spunky heroine, and good relationships/subplots with the other characters as well. I picked it up on a whim, and was hooked just listening to the sample. It actually made me clean my house because I wanted to keep listening! If that's not a sign of a good book, nothing is.

Good Character Development

Nice character dynamic. Mallery's books are always predictable but enjoyable. A little bit of danger occurs in this story as well.

Very touching story

This is a kind of romance most people would root for. Characters are resistant yet drawn to each other and real people who have been through msjor hardships yet cannot admit they are ready for and deserve love.

Loved It!

I really don't like to read... books aren't my thing. But boy did I get hooked on this one! It was hard to put down. It was fun, fast paced and charmingly sexy. I can't wait to read her new novel "Sizzle!"

loved it but the southern accents threw me a bit

was confused that the Buchanan's sounded to have relocated to the deep south but loved the storyline

Second Buchanan boy!

I love the Buchanan series! This is my favorite out of the four books. The only complaint I have, I wish they would have used the same narrator in all four books. Once you have a characters voice in your head, it is hard to listen to someone else read. But I got use to it.

I am downloading book 3 as I type!

Thank you Susan for having such a good narrator, they make or break your story!
I haven’t listened to some of your books because I just cannot bear the narrator!

Love this series!!

This is the second of the 3 (4th due out soon) Buchanan Series. It is a bit more serious but still sexy, intriguing, exciting and touching. I love all three (so far) of these gems but be certain to read them in order. I read them out of sequence and had to re-listen to one of them to pick up on several past characters that were glanced over in later books. Listen and enjoy!
