Naomi Witt is on the run. Not just from her fiancé and a church full of well-wishers, but from her entire life. Although if you ask her, Naomi's riding to the rescue of her estranged hot mess of a twin, Tina, to Knockemout, a rough-around-the-edges town where disputes are settled the old-fashioned way…with fists and beer. Usually in that order.
Too bad for Naomi, her evil twin hasn't changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi's car and cash, Tina leaves behind something unexpected: the niece Naomi didn't know she had. Now she's a guardian to an eleven-year-old-going-on-thirty with no car, no money, and no plan.
There's a reason this bearded, bad-boy barber doesn't get involved with high-maintenance women, especially not Type-A romantic ones. But since Naomi's life imploded right in front of him, the least Knox can do is help her out of her jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble, he can leave her alone and get back to his quiet, solitary life.
At least, that's the plan.
Ok, I think my favorite thing about this book was the whole compound where Knox and his grandmother lived. Cabins along a creek bed? Count me in. Knox and Naomi were predictable. Grumpy jerk and hot mess create instant sparks. I really liked Naomi's niece, Way. For having a shitty mother, she really had it together. Clearly, there are going to be more books in this series. Do I want to read them? Maybe. Nash might have an interesting story.
Bottom Line - Either you enjoy romance novels or you don't. I probably wouldn't have chosen this book if it weren't my book club's January selection, but I did end up enjoying it. I didn't love it, but I didn't feel like it was a waste of time.
