Arrogant Player by Julie Capulet
3.0
Luna LaRoux runs a waterfront bar and restaurant in Key West, Florida with her best friend Josie Farrell. But single and pregnant with twins, Josie isn't so sure about the business that's already barely scraping by anymore. In comes Gage McCabe, who is smitten with Luna and proposes a solution for the same.

Book Two - [b:My Hero|50399252|My Hero (McCabe Brothers, #2)|Julie Capulet|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1578783389l/50399252._SY75_.jpg|75359463]- was the middle brother Caleb's story, a war veteran with PTSD. This is Book Three of the McCabe Brothers Series, where the eldest brother Gage gets his own happy ever after.
Gage is an astute businessman who lives his life in the fast lane. The brothers lost their parents in their teens, but their inheritance as much as their hard work lets them lead a carefree life with enough time to pursue their dreams. At twenty-seven years of age, Gabe has the means, the looks, and everything under the sun, barring love which he doesn't believe in. He thinks his brothers are being absolutely ridiculous, going and falling in love like that.
Twenty-three-year-old Luna comes from a broken home. And her desire to make a life for herself, alone, has led to her to set up her own - even if currently rundown - business.
Narrated in first-person dual perspective, Arrogant Bastard is a beautiful story with two scarred people coming together and attempting to create a loving relationship. Gage is in denial but he also seems to carry the same lovely curse as his brothers. The curse which we have already experienced in both the previous books.
A few instances cracked me up. And surprisingly, not one but two couples get their happy ending in this story. The other being Luna's friend Josie and Noah.
If you want to read relaxing romances without too much conflict, then this series is for you. As is the author's signature style, there are three epilogues rounding up the story nicely, with one five years down the lane.
P.S. I look forward to reading the next series by [a:Julie Capulet|17015295|Julie Capulet|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1556507130p2/17015295.jpg]. Its star protagonists have already been introduced in this book. The Music City Lovers Series will have the stories of three brothers who have formed a country-rock band and go by the name of Tucker Brothers (Travis, Vaughn, and Kade).
Thank you to the author for an e-ARC of the book.

I guess some people just get lucky.
Or they make their own luck.

I want to show her that, even though we all have things that have happened to us that change us and cut us down, it doesn’t mean we can’t be happy anyway.

He’s rolling around in my rage like a pig in springtime mud, enjoying every minute of it.
