All In by Carol Burnside

Sweetwater Springs Book 6

Mac looks like everything from Carla’s disastrous dating past. After a positive mental health journey, she’s determined to choose more wisely this time, to find someone worthy of settling down with. Even so, the chef’s long hair, colorful tats, and buff bod send her attraction soaring even as she clings to her resolve.

For Mac, it’s insta-love upon meeting Carla, but she’s resisting and has dark secrets in her past that haunt her. Even so, he’s determined to show his new neighbor and waitress that going all in with him could mean someone to belong to, a family for both of them, and a love that lasts.

But just when all looks hopeful, and Carla divulges her past, a secret Mac is holding comes to light. Will it destroy the trust he’s been building with Carla, or will she take a leap of faith and allow herself to believe that he’s truly all in?

Warning: This book contains voyeurism, as it features a manly man who not only practices yoga outside, but also cooks and cleans. In addition, there are tiny houses, steamy between-the-sheets action, and a heap of Sweetwater Springs’ former characters popping up here and there (but not during the sexy times). Heh. Do not read if you’re sensitive to frequent mentions of food, especially barbecue. Hunger pains may be induced through this author’s prose.
