It all started with a life time of wanting, a crushed heart and some fine coffee.Indy, our MC is a bit immature, irresponsible, has her fair share of TSTL moments. She requires some serious patience. This girl is the walking wounded. To cover her hurt and her humiliation she acts out stupidly. She is the type of character I normally don't like to read but I could understand her.She has a hole in her chest the size of the Grand Canyon. She grew up in a loving extended family that was a mixture of two broken families. When at 5 years old her mother died a boy from the other family sat with her and held her hand. (awwww) She loved him since that moment and did her best to try to be with him. She schemed to win him all through her teenage years till one day he said the thing that broke her and left that hole. The hole that had her avoiding him for the next ten years. Lee, is the guy, the one that broke her all those years ago. He has become a PI after a stint in the military and other than that is a mystery to the whole family it seems. He is the ultimate Alpha man machine. He's built big, he's a trained ex-special Op, he has a team, fast vehicles and weapons. When he is needed he steps up takes control and orders everyone else around. This could be a problem for him, a big problem.Indy finds her self shot at outside her bookstore, after opening her mouth in a TSTL quest. She doesn't know what to do and calls Lee's sister for help. Oh, she helps by taking Indy and her co-worker to Lee's apartment "he won't mind he's out of town" she says. Well he comes home, yeah, she was set up. Little sister wants them together and she works hard at arranging it. But the damage that had been done years ago is still alive. There is more than that keeping them apart. There are the missing diamonds, the creepy Munster guy, the dead bodies, the cops, the family, the receptionist, the unending flirting, and the drag queens schedules to deal with. How can anything be changed when the world is a whirl ? One stand out cutie-Chowleena, the little darlin' could sashay' her way into anyones heart. I thought it was a fun, romantic comedy with just enough snark to have me snickering along. The extened family was so funny. The romance was not an easy thing they had to work for it for a long time. Oh my, talk about interruptions, Honey it felt like nothing was ever going to be. I was feeling the frustration and wanting to smash that dang phone, door buzzer... to pieces. So, I had fun, it was a fun pice of work and I ended the book feeling happy.
