Something about Nick O’Malley gives my middle finger a boner — despite his sexy Irish accent, which seems to give my nips boners (but that’s beside the point).
I’m not sure why I can’t stand him. It might be the man bun. Or the arrogant way he speaks to me. Maybe it’s the way he looks at me like he’s starving, and I’m an adorable snack cake.
Well, F that! I might be small and delicious, but I am not on the menu — for him or anyone else.
When my naughty pup causes a slight fender bender, the cocky dog trainer claims he knows just what I need, and much to my dismay, he’s right. And if you ever tell him I said that, I’ll junk punch you.
But now, the more time I spend with him, the more I start to see a different side of him. Maybe all those explosive words between us were more like fireworks.
I can’t act on this simmering attraction, no matter how tempting it may be. Aside from being off the D, the threatening text messages and unwanted “gifts” showing up remind me why staying clear of Nick is necessary. He’s not safe if he’s stays because a stupid accident from my past is still haunting me.
Except Nick doesn’t back away from threats. And shockingly enough, he has a protective side I find incredibly hot. But the longer he stays with me, the more danger he’s in.
I may have dented his bumper, but I can’t risk the damage I’ll do to his life… or his heart.

5 STARS
This is book five in the series that follows the Amos
siblings, and it can be read as a standalone. It is written in first person
from an alternating dual POV.
This book was a funny and steamy read. I love it when
characters are mature and this book treats readers to a hero and a heroine in
their 40’s. I love that they have a solid sense of who they are as people as
well as well-developed family relationships. They have incredibly funny banter
when they literally crash into each other. The attraction is undeniable, but so
is the ire they feel toward each other. I love Millie and I appreciated that
she is struggling with something on her own under the misguided notion of
protecting her family. Nick is kind and sexy. He is 100% swoony hero material.
I adore his relationship with his big Irish family. I love how he is honorable
he is. I love his desire to look out for Millie. The heat between the two
characters is intense and fun. I love that they laugh in the bedroom. I believe
that is an important part of a relationship. Millie learns to feel safe and at
peace with Nick. She is smart-mouthed and witty, and I laughed and laughed at
their antics. Their HEA is hilarious and sweet while maintaining the heat that
lights up their relationship.
It has been a thrill to read books by this new author who published her first book less than a year ago. I am thrilled with the world she has created and with the Amos-holes. The Amos family reminds me so much of mine. The text threads, the name calling, the teasing, the love, and the support: they made me laugh, tear up, and made my heart go gooey. It has been a pleasure to read as the author has developed her style and grown in her story telling over the course of this series. I strongly recommend this series to anyone who likes a laugh-out-loud funny, very steamy, family romance series. The characters are feisty and smart. The heroes are panty-melting. As I read, I could tell the author loves these characters and I am sure she is sad to move on to her next series. At the same time though, she has laid solid groundwork in this series for at least two other series spin-offs that I can see. I seriously cannot wait. It will be epic.

About Jackie: The Official Bio
One day during the COVID quarantine (a.k.a. the dark time), Jackie was reading yet another laugh a minute rom-com by Lucy Score or Pippa Grant, and she thought to herself - hey, I can do that. And so, she did and it turned out even better than even she thought possible.
Jackie is a fresh face on the romance author scene destined to shake things up with her signature blend of light-hearted comedy, over the top characters and romantic heartwarming moments. A voracious romance reader herself, Jackie writes stories featuring the four S's: Snark, Swoons, Steam and Sarcasm. Her heroines are bad-ass and her heroes are easy on the eyes and heavy on the charm.
When she is not writing funny stories about swoony heroes and the women who get to play with them, she is reading all types of romance novels or taking care of her army of cats and her teenage son (who also speaks fluent sarcasm).
Follow Jackie so you don't miss out on her new releases, which are destined to be topping the best seller lists.

More about Jackie (the less official version):
Jackie Walker is a loud-mouthed lady with a strong passion for sarcasm, slapstick comedy, cussing, rescuing cats, theme parks, giggling to herself, and drinking margaritas.
In elementary school she discovered she had a passion and a talent for writing. Jackie used her writing skills to fake her way through twelve years of school, four years of college, and many jobs where she was foolishly considered above average and often rewarded for her ability to use words to convey meaning. Crazy, right? She even duped an entire college into thinking she was valedictorian material. Hilarious! After college, she snuck her way into a career where she was paid real money to write things that sounded important and serious. Alas, careers like this typically occur in a business world where it is “frowned upon” to have a sense of humor and speak fluent sarcasm. Thus, Jackie decided to say goodbye to the chains of the business world and become an authorprenuer. Now that she is in charge, she can call her boss names all day long and not get in trouble. She can also clock in late each day and give her co-workers (her cats) the finger when they look at her funny.
Since she was raised by wolves in sunny Central Florida, Jackie often finds herself saying the wrong things in the most inopportune times, leading to embarrassment and shame. This trend has continued throughout her life and to this day she often can be found putting her foot in her mouth and then sneaking away to write something. It turns out that writing is a coping mechanism she uses to process her embarrassment over her inability to be socially appropriate. When she is not talking to the imaginary characters who live in her head and bringing their stories to life on paper, she is hanging out with her teenage son or extended family. She also spends approximately thirty-six hours each and every day scooping litter boxes and refilling water bowls in devote service of her cat overlords. In addition to hanging out with family, taking on craft projects that she never finishes, and writing steamy love stories, she also spends her time reading romance novels in practically every sub-genre except historical (because there just weren’t enough showers back then for sexy times. That’s right. I said it.)
