Was bossy lawyer kink a thing? Because if it was, I had it. I’d approach his bench any time.
Wait, that was a judge.
Still, I’d examine his briefs if he asked me.

I’m becoming a big fan of this author duo! Their books are sweet, quick reads that are just plain fun to read. This newest release was no exception. If you read Road Trip, you’d have gotten a little glimpse of the town of Goose Run and the cute gas station worker, Danny Hall. It’s a quirky little town that most people only ever drive through, but for Danny Hall and his housemates, it’s home. For better or worse. Lately, it's been leaning more toward worse, though, thanks to their ornery neighbor. When the neighbor takes things too far, Danny finds himself in need of a lawyer. Enter Miller Clarke. For Miller, his time in Virginia is just a pit stop to gain experience before moving on to become a lawyer at a firm in a bigger city. But in the meantime, might as well enjoy a few casual hookups with the cute gas station attendant. Catching feelings with a guy from a small nowhere town is not in the plan. But what will Miller do when that’s exactly what happens?

Danny and Miller were so good together! On paper, they were complete opposites, but they worked so well. Their sexual chemistry was off the charts! This book was much spicier than we usually get from this author duo. But I’m not complaining! Their relationship was mainly physical at first, but we see them gradually starting to develop real feelings, and it was very sweet. But there’s the whole issue of Miller not planning on sticking around. He never led Danny on, but it was still a little sad having that hanging over them. I loved how it all worked out, though!

I also loved the found family between Danny and his friends, Wilder, Cash, and Chase. They were an eclectic bunch, but they had each other’s backs, and I was glad they all had each other. And it was so sweet seeing Miller become part of the group, too. All these guys had such big hearts. The bonus story about the couch actually made me a little misty-eyed. Once you finish this book, you definitely need to download and read that! I’m happy that this is the start of a series because I’m looking forward to spending more time with this group.

Oh! And if you’re an Alpha Tau fan, you’re in for a treat with a cameo from one of our favorite frat bros! Honestly, the book would have been worth reading for that cameo alone.
