Jace Custer followed his former SEAL team to the Caribbean in hopes of answering the question: what’s next? But he doesn’t fit in at Duchess Island like he did in Iraq. While searching for a place to call his own, Jace unexpectedly finds a home tending bar for Stella Chase, but when the chemistry between them heats up, he realizes he wants more from her than just a job. Stella can’t trust her bartender with her heart—he’s too young, too hot and too much of a player. Jace is determined to strip away her preconceptions of him… but she’s just as determined to hold him at arm’s length. Can a recovering player ever really change his stripes? Or is he destined to never fit into his own life?

Persistence pays off in Kat Cantrell’s latest installment in the ASSIGNMENT: Caribbean Nights series! His former SEAL team buddies give Jace Custer a hard time about what a player he is, but little do they know the love’ em and leave ’em king has done an about face over the last few months! He’s seriously infatuated with his boss at the bar, and he’s determined to get her to see him in a different light! This entire series has been great. We see a bit less of the team and extended family this go round, but Jace & Stella were a quick, fun read!

Former Navy SEAL Jace Custer came to the Caribbean to open an adventure excursion business with a bunch of his teammates, but as much as he loves the guys and the business, it’s just not cutting it for him. He feels like he’s found his place working the bar with Stella … but can he convince her that he’s a permanent addition?

Stella Chase opened up the Crow Bar several years ago when she decided she needed to change her life and live for herself again. She can’t deny her hot bartender is a good guy … but he’s so young, and so sexy, and such a player! She’s been resisting his charms for awhile now, but when he really turns up the flirting and makes his desire for her known, will she decide a fling is just what she needs?

* Review * DOWN HOME COWBOY by Maisey Yates

Down Home Cowboy by Maisey Yates
Series: Copper Ridge

This Texas cowboy has come home to Copper Ridge to put down roots…but will he risk his heart again?

Asked where he'd be at this point in life, Cain Donnelly would have said anywhere but Copper Ridge, Oregon, living with his estranged brothers. But since his wife abandoned them, both he and his daughter, Violet, are in need of a fresh start, so he's back to claim his share of the family ranch. Local baker Alison Davis is a delicious temptation, but she's also his daughter's mentor and new boss. That makes her off-limits…until she offers a no-strings deal that no red-blooded cowboy could resist.

Alison has worked tirelessly to rebuild her life, and she won't jeopardize her hard-won independence. Especially if it also complicates Cain's relationship with Violet. But with Cain offering a love she never thought was possible, Alison has to find the courage to let her past go…or watch her future ride away for good.

Maisey Yates has outdone herself with this tale of second chances! We’re familiar with the characters from previous books in the Copper Ridge series, and watching Cain & Alison overcome their own issues to finally meet in the middle is giving us all the feels!

Single dad Cain Donnelly can’t seem to get through to his snarky teenage daughter Violet. He knows she’s unhappy, but he thought this fresh start in Copper Ridge would be a positive move for them. They both were drowning in memories of the wife/mother that walked out on them in Texas. Here’s hoping a new job will get her centered!

Bakery owner Alison Davis is enjoying the freedom her new life is giving her. She’s worked hard to overcome her past and to become the strong woman she is today. She’s enjoying mentoring and guiding her employees to give them a brighter path for the future, and her latest new hire is coming along well. Little does she know the sexy cowboy she made eyes at down at the bar the other night is Violet’s father though!

Will setting out on a no-strings fling with his daughter’s boss come back to haunt Cain or will they eventually have to admit they can’t walk away?
