Older woman younger man story but Bronagh is not a cougar – nope – she has been married and divorced and has her own business but at times she seems much younger than her 35 years on earth. Brendan is 26, lead singer of Whiskey Heat, never been in a relationship and is in his last year of culinary school. Bronagh wants one hot night of passion and Brendan provides it after Whiskey Heat performs one night. Little did they know that they would see one another again – in the class Bronagh will be teaching.

The two of them are not sure about starting a relationship but eventually do in spite of the taboo of the teacher-student issue. Eventually things go south, Brendan seeks advice from his brothers and Bronagh heads to her friends Ming and Cass for advice on whether or not she made the right decision. The couple has many real issues to tackle and overcome if they are to have a happily ever after.

Characters from previous books make an appearance at an afternoon party at Brock’s house and updates are provided for those that have read previous books. The set-up for Brady’s story in book 7 of the series is suggested and he is a broody guy that definitely deserves a good woman in his life.

This was an enjoyable read but I wondered at the end whether or not the two will stay together forever…they might…or they might not. I think that it will depend on how they grow together in the future…and I wish them the best.

Thank you to NetGalley for the copy of this book to read and review. ( )
