I love all the "Happy Something's" at the beginning of the chapters. I feel like Harloe Rae is showing us the simplistic pleasures of life. It's always a good reminder that happy can be as simple as walking barefoot through soft grass or something deeper like lying in the bed of a truck with your first love, counting the stars.

Ohh Grady, you big ol' oaf! Rae filled me with an odd sensation for him... one similar to a feeling I've only experienced for my husband of 13 years. I wanted to shake him until his pea-sized brain fell out of an ear so he'd be empty-headed and finished with his self-deprecating thoughts and I'd follow that up with wrapping the empty-headed oaf in my arms because he needs a hug and some love. Poor guy thinks so horribly of himself it hurts my heart especially when his heart is pure and he's a kind man. Have you ever noticed the real men who should be kicking their own booties, never are? Take Lance as a example, comparing these two men will prove to you that the job, car, or work attire doesn't make a man... it's what's inside, in his heart and mind that matter.

Anyway, I feel I could go on and on about this story and the characters I loved and the ones I loved hating. I adored Sutton. She was sweet and loving with some sass to her. And she didn't, couldn't, give up on Grady and I appreciated that so much. Really though, Grady just stole the show for me. Breaker had a bit of drama but for the most part it was light and full of heart. I found the storyline to be charming with a small town feel and light in angst. I love a good brother's best friend romance since I grew up with two older brothers and I often crushed on their friends. Harloe Rae always has a way of creating relatable stories that feel unique and get me all mushy, happy feeling!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

Blurb:
  “Tell me a happy something, Sutton.”

I was only seven the first time Grady Bowen whispered those words to me. Cloaked by the black sky under a blanket of stars, it was easy to get lost. He didn’t have any good memories of his own, and needed to borrow mine. I’d willingly give him anything. 

Being infatuated with that boy was a beautiful curse. What could have been special didn’t get the chance to bloom. He’d never see me as more than his best friend’s kid sister. That was a hard lesson to learn, but not the most difficult. 

Grady had always been struggling against the odds. Eventually he quit fighting and let his family’s reputation own him. Try as I might, those influences were beyond my reach. 

He didn’t mean to break my heart. Or maybe he did. I shouldn’t have made it so easy for him. Either way, our wrongs against each other carved new lines between us.

I went four years without seeing Grady—each one more painful than the last. That distance did nothing to dull my feelings toward him. But things are different now. Most noticeably is Grady. I barely recognize this man he’s become. And that’s the way he intends to keep it. Not that it really matters.
Grady Bowen stopped being my happy something long ago.


Excerpt:
  I take a closer inspection of this swoony charmer. Not an ounce of deceit registers in his expression. There’s no stony edge blocking his emerald stare. His ironclad guard is nonexistent. Zero inhibitions block the sliver of space between us. Everything is on display for me to see. I should be the one to stop this. He’s obviously not in his normal state and under the influence of hefty narcotics.
Who the hell am I kidding? Basking in a rare smile from Grady is a gift I won’t take for granted. Appreciating from a safe distance will be the true challenge. I test my willpower by trying to evade the sneaky fingers inching up my thigh. But our skin is magnetized and moving is impossible. The golden specks in his eyes glitter at my failed attempt. Yep, he’s onto me. I’m a goner.
As if there was another option.
The itch to comb through his shaggy hair tickles my fingertips. Would he lean into my embrace if I cupped his jaw? The tiniest bit of resolve stops me from acting on those impulses. But it doesn’t stop my brain from working overtime.
I wonder if anyone else has seen this side of him. The romantic in me wants to believe I’m the first, and hopefully only. I shove the fanciful notion aside. “Well, you sure seem to be in a great mood.”
That luscious bottom lip gets trapped between his teeth. I’d love to take a bite. As if hearing my thoughts, Grady rolls toward me. “Abso-fucking-lutely. Why wouldn’t I be? I have a gorgeous woman within reach, ready to take care of my aches and pains.”
This time I really do choke on my tongue. “W-what?”
The hand he has on my leg drifts higher. “You sound shocked, Sutt.”
How could I not be? “That’s an understatement.”
“Stay with me,” Grady croons.
“For the night?”
“For always.” His gaze is smoldering. Damn, he’s sexy. And irresistible. I’m liable to straddle his lap and offer him everything. But the chains of our past hold me hostage. I can’t fall victim so easily.
“Why now, Gray?” Whatever painkillers he’s on are proving to be an effective truth serum. I might as well use it to my advantage.
His blink is slow. “I miss the peace, Sutt. My slice of goodness.”
