BLURB:

Hayden Quinn’s worked his ass off to turn his restaurant into the thriving business it is today. Too hard to risk it all by letting an ex-con through his door. Yet, there Levi is. Six feet of attitude. Six feet of pure temptation.

No one warned Levi that getting out of prison would only be the start of his problems. He doesn’t need a boss who looks down his nose at him. Except behind that, there’s a heat. A heat that Levi can’t help responding to.

Together they burn hot, forging something that could be more than just lust. When Levi’s past comes knocking though, has he really got someone in his corner, or is he just as alone as ever?

REVIEW:

An ex-con given a chance to work in a restaurant by his own parole officer. The Chef/Owner being hard and an ***hole toward him. But it doesn’t end there, we get to learn about Levi, our young ex-con, and we get to learn about Hayden, the Chef.

When Hayden’s brother, Darien who is a Parole Officer, asked him to give a job to his young charge, he never expected someone like Levi. He treated Levi like an ex-con at first, not giving him a chance to start anew judging him, but it soon change when he got to know the young man more. Although their physical attraction toward each other was instantaneous, they have yet to learn more about each other.

Levi is young, he has made stupid decisions that landed him in jail. But he is determined to reform although sometimes he doesn’t think at all (ergo the imprisonment). But he wants to change, for himself and for his Grandma.  Finding a decent job is the first step towards that.

What started out as animosity, judgmental attitude becomes mutual attraction and then friendship. But nothing is all rosy in life right, so when the past caught up with Levi, he had to deal with it. The icing on top, Hayden is right there by his side. They have both been through their own pain and challenges in the past, they deserve their own happily-ever-after.

H.L.Day is not a new author to me, I have read some of her books and I love the way she writes, beautiful and makes you want to jump in and get to know her MCs really well. This book is low angst and a romance, a terrific read if I may say so. I am hoping we get to see Darien’s story in the near future.
