About this ebook

 Burned in the past, Navy chief Brett Craven has sworn off serious relationships. But when he meets Kenzie McLaughlin, a gorgeous redhead with a fiery personality, his well-reasoned strategy is blown out of the water. 

Years ago, a terrifying attack changed Kenzie's life, making her trust only a few men, including her brothers and her father. After a sexy Navy guy waltzes into the family pub and doesn't hesitate to make his interest known, there's no denying the attraction between them. Can Kenzie let her guard down long enough to fall for Brett? 

Ratings and reviews

Just awesome! I have loved every book in this series and this one is no exception. I adore the McLaughlin clan and I just can't get enough of them. This is Kenzie's story and what a wild ride it is. Trusting men other than her brothers and father isn't something Kenzie McLaughlin can do. Then she meets Navy officer Brett Craven and she thinks maybe, just maybe, he might be the one to take a chance on. Then he disappears for six months without a word. Now he's back in the family pub asking for a chance to explain! Don't miss this one. I highly recommend it.

I fell in love with this series when I read book one , One More Round and then again with book 2, Straight, No Chaser. This one too was a wonderful story about family, love and overcoming fears and adversities. This story belongs to Kenzie, the youngest sibling and only girl of the family. As a teenager she was attacked and that has made her cautious of men and dating. That is , until Navy chief Brett Craven shows up. But he too has personal disappointments , trust issues and doesn’t want anything serious. Watching these two interact and develop feelings , as well as how caring Brett was with Kenzie, was both fun and touching. It’s a story about taking chances, trusting someone special, letting go of fears, and giving love a chance. It’s also a story about the power of love within a family. Definitely a story worth your time. Can’t wait to see what Ms Stevens has in store Aleck, the oldest sibling. I was entrusted this ARC by Netgalley and Tule. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

So happy to finally get Kenzie's book. Yes!! Kenzie's story was well worth waiting for! OMG and Brett a Navy man. ... Shelli Stevens you just keep getting better and better with each McLoughlin book. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop until the end. We got to catch up with familiar faces and oh fall in love with new ones. If you are not familiar with the siblings no problem at all. Our author fills in all the gaps and lets ya know all the past history that you might have learned in one of the 2 earlier books. Well in accords to Kenzie that is. You really should grabs those books. That are delish. I love the fact that her brothers stand by her so closely and it is amazing that this new man.... well ha ha you thought i was going to keep going right. NOPE you need to grab this book and explore the Navy along side Kenzie as she comes to life again.
