She's my best friend's kid sister.Now she's not a kid any more.As a forest ranger, I believe in the simple life. I prefer cabins to apartments, trails over freeways, and trees to people. My life is orderly, predictable, and quiet.Until it's hit by a woman I never saw coming -- Hurricane June.She's fierce. She's feisty. She has a laugh like the first day of spring, and she's so pretty that I can't breathe when I look at her. June will only be in town for a few months-just while job-hunting. She won't last until winter, but how can I resist?Except I have to. She's my best, oldest, and most loyal friend's baby sister.Betraying him would be the worst thing I've ever done. Not betraying him might be the hardest.Especially once we start working together on a secret project. All this spending time together, sneaking around at night, and lying to her brother about what we're doing sure feels like more than friendship.June might break my heart.Her brother might break my nose.But I guess some things were made to be broken.

This is my third book in the Loveless Brothers series, and every one if them is a joy. All of the brothers show up for cameos here, but the book is less focused on the family dynamic than the others, and the guys' mother, Clara, is totally absent. That bummed me out at the beginning because I love their relationships, they are funny and sarcastic and smart and loving and supportive (well, that comes with snark sometimes, but it is still there.) It turned out though that I did not miss it. I really liked the relationship between June and Levi and between Levi and June's brother Silas (which is an important part of the story.) I think Roxie went a little overboard with Silas's murderous impulses toward anyone June dated, it started to feel not just toxic but a little repressed Flowers in the Attic, but otherwise it was so fun to read.
I have to note that a climactic scene happens in a small town in South Dakota. Everything is flat and cold and treeless and there is no Chinese food. The workplace is filled with passive-aggressive (and some aggressive-aggressive) staff and leadership who insulate them because they are "nice guys" or fellow Sons of Norway members, or are married to their uncle's third-cousin by marriage (and also, it is not like there is a real talent pool to replace anyone.) I had such a strong stress flashback to leading a team of incompetents in the other Dakota that I was worried it would trigger a migraine. (I had one great person on my staff and everyone hated her. There are no rewards for pushing through.) Could Roxie have done a stint in the Dakotas? If not, she has some reliable people giving her the real tea. (She did know that to get to the Dakotas from the Carolinas you have to fly through Dallas, so I get the feeling she has lived that.) (
