Mallory lands her the day shift at the local burger restaurant, Burgers and Brew. She collides with, Walker one of the owners and sparks start to fly. But no way can she let another man into her or her daughter\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>Walker is happy with his life owning and working at the bar and being single.\u00a0 He does not date and has one rule never date any of the people at his bar including staff.\u00a0 He meets his ladies in the ice cream aisle of the grocery store.\u00a0 That is until the new waitress, Mallory, begins working at Burgers and Brew. Mallory and her daughter, Lizzie, stole a piece of his heart and has him breaking his own rules.<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely loved this story. Not only did Mallory, Lizzie, and Walker steal my heart but so did Walkers family and business partners.\u00a0 I so want to know more about each of them.\u00a0 Not only did Mallory and Lizzie make their way into Walker\u2019s heart but they snuck into everyone of Walker\u2019s family and friends\u2019 heart too. Walker was so patient with Mallory and the way he doted over Lizzie was heartwarming. The way Walker gets jealous when other guys, including his partners, talk to Mallory is hilarious. I loved that by the end of the book everyone has a nickname, well ok a shortened version of their own name. After reading this and getting little glimpses of the guys I cannot wait to read more of this series.<\/p>\n<p>A few of my favorite lines:<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve never had a man look at me the way Walker does, with such raw yearning and lust. \u00a0~Mallory<\/p>\n<p>I like the idea of having them at my house. It\u2019s nothing special, but maybe that\u2019s not what makes a house a home anyway. Maybe it\u2019s not the walls or the numbers of bedrooms or the amount of living space.<br \/>\nPerhaps it\u2019s the people you invite inside.\u00a0 ~ Walker<\/p>\n<p>No, I can\u2019t say I\u2019m in love with Mallory, but I\u2019ll agree I\u2019m intrigued and enjoying my time with her, and if that leads to something more, then so be it.<br \/>\nI\u2019m not afraid of taking the next stop, whatever that is.<br \/>\nI\u2019m afraid of the fall.\u00a0 ~Walker<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"freeTextauthor8414783\">Avid reader, writer, mother, and wife!
