From USA Today bestselling author Stacey Kennedy comes a steamy contemporary romance featuring a brooding hero with too much baggage, a spirited heroine who is always up for adventure, and a sexy-as-hell road trip that will change their lives forever.Maisie Carter has always been a free spirit. An artist by nature, she has no idea what she’s doing as co-owner of Three Chicks Brewery. But she’s … Brewery. But she’s determined to prove to her older sisters that she can be an asset to their grandfather’s beer legacy. The best way to do that? Make the rounds at Colorado’s craft brewery festivals and turn Foxy Diva, their top beer, into an award winner. Unfortunately, after more than one “beer mishap,” it becomes clear that she’s going to need some help.
Hayes Taylor knows he has a chip on his shoulder, but he has no interest in working through his traumatic past. He just wants to work on his horse farm, alone. The last thing he needs in his life is a woman, especially his dead wife’s best friend, the sweet-as-pie Maisie Carter. But she’s always brought out his protective instincts, and he can hardly say ‘no’ when she asks for his help…
As the two embark on the festival tour, beer filled days turn into lust filled nights, and neither Maisie nor Hayes can deny their growing attraction. But Hayes knows love leads to heartbreak…. Can Maisie show him that their love is worth the risk?

Maisie is the youngest of three sisters and the most free spirited and artistic. Their grandfather dies and leaves them an inheritance to start a brewery. Her heart is really not in it but will do anything to make her grandfather proud. The sisters want her to go show their beer at three festivals but she breaks her finger and needs help. Hayes was a cop until his wife was killed. Maisie and Hayes’s wife were best friends and not for her he’d still be living in darkness. He goes along on her trip to do the heavy lifting. Their attraction for each other explodes but they have some mishaps along the way. But Hayes is keeping a secret from Maisie and when he tells her the truth, will he lose the woman he has fallen in love with?
I absolutely love this story. Sex, romance, humor, and secrets. Maisie is the most upbeat person and Hayes is of course broody and beating himself up over the past. Have Kleenex’s nearby because their are some major crying parts. I can’t wait for the next book in this series.

WOW! This book tugged at my heart. I laughed, I cried, I needed a fan to cool off. Maisie marches to the beat of a different drum then her sisters. She is the artist and her mind and heart are not into the brewery like her sisters. Events happen that cause her to ask for help and who better to help than her good friend Hayes. There is a history there..but not what you would think. They both need to heal and let love in. Can they be what each other needs? Maisie was there when Hayes hit rock bottom. She forced him to put one foot in front of the other and get out of bed. Now is time for Hayes to help her, maybe not to that extent but he wants to be there for her. There is an HEA and oh what a journey to get there.
I loved this book and did not want to put it down. This is also a great start to a new series! Bring on book 2!
