My Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out o f 5

This is book 5 in the Broken Falls Series. While all books can be read as a standalone, it’s advisable to read them in order. There are multiple characters and couples and the stories all interconnect.

I loved Vaughn, although he seems to be a man that is rough around the edges, those edges seem to smooth out when he meets Val. He knows that she’s shy and quiet, and that she’s intriguing. However, when he gets closer to her and learns her past, his possessiveness will come out and he’ll do whatever it takes to protect her.

Val is a woman that wanted a new start to her life and to learn what the “outside” world was like. When she finds the bakery and is hired on the spot, she knows that she’s found somewhere that she can be happy. When the sexy, hardworking, Vaughn comes into the bakery, she can’t seem to get him off her mind. When her past catches up to her and she’s afraid of what could happen, Vaughn will step up to be the man to protect her.

I love this series and the characters, Vaughn is such a sweet guy when it comes to Val and he’s so patient with her. He’s happy to teach her everything. The only thing I was missing is this was how things panned out with her uncle.
