Elle needs a hob over summer to afford living. Luckily she finds a bartender job right down the street from her place. Unluckily the owners nephew is Cal, someone she does not get along with and really hates. Cal has had a crush on Elle since they met. When his uncle has an emergency he jumps at the opportunity to help handle the bar until he gets back to allow himself to get closer to Elle.I devoured this book. I just loved it so much. Their relationship dynamic was addictive. I read this is a day.

This is the fourth book in the series and it is Cal and Elle’s journey. Cal is emotional stunted after so much pain at the age of 18. After such a huge loss he becomes a bitter grumpy man. Which to me I saw it as him protecting himself in away if he kept people which meant his team mates and friends at arms length there was no way he could loose some one and it be as painful as it had been back then. So he became bitter pushed people and lived his life alone. That was his way to grief and we all do it differently. I loves Chuck by the way he was amazing and I was extremely happy that Cal had him in his corner as well as his team mates. I loved how along the way he realized what he had in his teammates and that they were more like a family not just people he worked with they were ate through and through. After his uncle needs to take a leave from the bar Cal starts to work there where he meets Elle. Now Elle is the total opposite of Cal she is super bubbly and full of happiness. But don’t let her bubbly personality fool you she is a tough cookie being raised in a hockey family with her brother Gabe playing hockey she is tough as they come and won’t let anyone put her down that includes her family. She is determined to prove her family wrong and to show them that she can do it in her own and do what she loves. She at one point thought the world of Cal until his mouth and his opinion made her change her mind now she can’t stand him well mostly. Now when Chuck finds himself with a four yr old daughter who needs him they are going to be spending a lot of time together working side by side. Which I thought was perfect for them. I loved that was the way that the author had them reintroduce them selfs to each other. They got to know who they were which was not who they each had thought the other was. They got a new prospective of each other and a new sense of who the other person was. I loved this book it was a perfect romance and a perfect pair for Cal. He needed that someone who would show him that he wasn’t alone and that he deserved to be happy. That he was so loved by many people even though he tried not to let them in. I highly recommend this book.
