India loves her life the way it is. She's been sober and drug free for many years, she owns her tattoo shop and if the town residents look down on her, she can handle it because she has Colt as her best friend. They spend lots of time together and she secretly wants to advance their friendship to more but doesn't want to lose him. Colt feels the same way and decides he's tired of waiting but lets her know he wants them to date before they have sex. Throw in the nosey, noisy, interfering family members and town people, and India and Colt have a wild time loving, fighting, and most of all, making up!

You can count on being thoroughly entertained when you read this one! The author has created a larger than life family for this series but don't worry if you haven't read the other books. This one can stand alone, but I know you'll want to read the previous books once you get to know this family. Colt is the most down to earth alpha hero I've read in a long time, from his actions to his dialogue, and the reader can't help but fall in love with this reformed bad boy. India is his perfect match, having shared many of the same past mistakes as Colt. This book will have you laughing out loud, squirming in your seat, grouchy at the well meaning family members, and sighing at the romantic gestures from Colt and India. The sexual tension was allowed to build slowly and gratification was delivered in many ways, sometimes slow and sweet and sometimes hard and gritty but always with a depth of emotion that keeps the reader captivated. You will not want to put down this book as you read about Colt and India and their misunderstandings, their honesty about their friendship and most of all, the sexy cowboy loving!
