Lovers to friends to lovers… could it get any more complicated?
One thing Carissa Brandt knows: spontaneity always gets her in trouble. Still, she’s gone and jumped head first into an impulsive summer renovation project with her fingers crossed. When her contractor turns out to be a cheat, it seems her only lifeline is the proffered hand of Josh Hudson — the sexy Marine who left her aching for … Marine who left her aching for more than their single night together three years ago.
Josh has two hard and fast rules: never mix business with pleasure and don’t look twice at women his friends have dated, much less loved. It makes life in a small town simple — or it would, if he wasn’t harboring a secret with the potential to destroy his good name and the reputation of a woman he can’t get out of his head.
When Carissa finds herself in a bind, Josh’s integrity — both personal and professional — won’t let her fail. Will working together finally extinguish the attraction lingering between them? Or will the smoldering embers of their passionate rendezvous ignite all over again and set aflame the friendships they cherish the most?
Warning: This book contains a hella-sexy, inked up hero, a spunky heroine who isn’t afraid to speak her mind, smokin’ hot sex, and enough swearing to make your momma blush. For readers 18+.

I’ve struggled to get back into reading and this was the perfect light romance with a lot of steam.

The characters and plot are so real life like with some suspense thrown in to cause some drama in a sweet, love story …

OK, I did it. Did what you ask? I should have done this over 2 years ago! OK, OK I am getting to it. Two years ago, on February 23rd, 2015 I read Can’t Walk Away the 3rd book in the River Bend series by the absolutely FABULOUS Molly McLain. I fell in LOVE with her writing on my very first book, and I think I have read every book she has published …
