Studfinder by L.B. Dunbar
4.0
Studfinder is the fifth book in the Busy Bean series, set in Sarina Bowen’s World of True North, but is most definitely a standalone. It can be thoroughly enjoyed by itself.
I’d been dying to read this book because it’s Rita Kaplan’s story. She’s a secondary character in the True North Series, May Shipley’s mentor, partner, and sponsor. She’s a recovering alcoholic in her forties who’s trying to decide what to do with her life. And along comes silver fox Jake Drummond, with his sexy body and witty mouth. They definitely rub each other the wrong way, they hardly get along, but their confrontations make sparks fly. Until they catch fire. Their chemistry and attraction is all heat at first, and their banter is epic. But then things get more emotional and complicated when secrets of their pasts are revealed.
I really enjoyed Rita and Jake’s story. It’s an enemies to lovers with enough heat to set the Busy Bean on fire, but enough emotional turmoil to give it depth. I really liked the banter between them, the heat is pretty good, and it had that Vermonty feel that makes it a great addition to the Busy Bean Series and the World of True North.
