What is this book about?

Lincoln “Linc” Fontenot enjoys working out, running his crawfish business, and the company of approximately three people. Zoey Lakewood has been at the top of that short list for years, the only bit of sunshine he ever allows to part his comfortably cloudy sky. But when Linc’s steady, quiet world is rocked by the unexpected guardianship of a teen girl, his friendship with Zoey becomes even more crucial. He needs help, bad…but maybe not as bad as Zoey.

Zoey’s never had a problem manifesting joy. But having just lost her home and her beignet business to an uninsured fire, for once she struggles to find the silver lining. She and Linc arrange to help each other out—as just friends, of course. She’ll provide teen-parenting assistance while he provides a place for her to get back on her feet. But one thing her friendship with Linc has never had to navigate is close proximity.

Tension—and chemistry—mount as they attempt to manage this sudden insta-family. But Zoey just lost everything, and she can’t risk losing her best friend, too. Will her friendship with Linc go up in flames like her beignet shop? Or will Linc and Zoey finally realize they were meant for each other?

My review:

Oh my! The tension – the angst – the sparks! Talk about a couple whose puzzle pieces fit together perfectly. I loved Linc and Zoey’s story. Their mutual admiration through years of friendship developed into the best romance. My word, at one point I needed a fan because when their sparks ignited – wow! Never let it be said that a clean romance cannot bring the heat. Not only is there a great romance with loads of chemistry but also deep family and spiritual themes. God was very present in the pages. I laughed, I got choked up, I struggled between devouring the story and lingering on each scene.

What I enjoyed most about this book: 

Sweet but swoony with a dash of heat romance

What I didn’t like about this book:

Nothing

Would I recommend this book to others? Absolutely. Sweet with heat romance, wonderful characters, deep inspirational thread. This is the third book in the series. I was able to read it as a standalone even though characters from the first two books show up here.

Note: I received this book complimentary as a participant of the JustReads reviewer tour. I was not required to give a positive review. All of the opinions I have expressed here are honest and my own.
