I am devastated to be finished this series but what a way to end. I was always intrigued by Beau Eaton when we got glimpses of him in the other books but wow, was his book fantastic. We already knew that he was in the military and was MIA before being found injured but the exploration of how that affected him was heartbreaking.
We also learn more about bartender Bailey at Chestnut Springs' most popular bar, 'The Railspur', who is the youngest Jansen sibling, and rivals of the Eaton's. The male Jansens are petty criminals and Bailey has tried so hard to distance herself from them and make it on her own but the fact that she is a Jansen has always prevented that.
She and Beau strike up a deal where he will essentially make her look better and she will get his family off his back. It is a fake dating/age gap novel but it is so beautifully done.
