            Carmen Hart has finally found where she belongs and she is so glad she is doing it far away from her ex-husband.  He used to make her feel useless and unwanted, but she’s out to prove him wrong.  She is the owner of her family’s legendary business the Lucky Hart and Carmen is hell bent on making it work out.  But Brent Sommers has other plans.  He has hated the Lucky Hart ever since his mother left his father because he spent too much time there.  He’s the fire marshal and he knows how he can shut the place down before it ever gets reopened.  The only thing he didn’t account for was the one woman he always wanted in high school being the owner and the most beautiful thing he thinks he has ever seen.  Can they work their differences out enough to have something more than just a physical relationship or are they doomed to part ways forever?

            I loved this story.  It was so in tuned to the way guys and girls see situations.  Alyssa Brooks has written a wonderful love story with a bit of intrigue and suspense mixed into the fray.  THREE hearts!
