After landing a job at the Cade Creek Diner, Aldrin has a chance to meet many of the townspeople, but the one that interests him the most is the one that doesn’t say anything. Determined to bring the gorgeous man out of his shell, Aldrin sets about showing Jonah Cade that there is life off his mountain top.

After losing every member of his family in a horrific accident the same week he suffers the horrors of war at its worst, Jonah cracks. Moving to the top of his mountain and becoming a recluse is an act of pure self-preservation.
At the behest of his therapist, he goes into town once a week for church, supplies, and to have the Sunday special at the Cade Creek Diner. When his dinner comes with a kind word and a smile, Jonah starts to look outside his self-imposed exile, but will the danger stalking them tear them apart before Aldrin’s smile wins Jonah over? And can Jonah learn to trust in people again before he loses Aldrin forever.

Review: Each book in the Cade Creek Series collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.
Every once in a while you find an author that can give you a story that you could lose yourself into, and Stormy is that author for me. The world she creates are unique, enticing and downright drool worthy. I love how the characters not only stand up for those they love but they don’t back down when someone is in trouble. They have a serious tone to them but there is just a hint of humor to make them perfect for me.
Aldrin has finally moved to Cade Creek. He even has a job at the local diner and loving it. He has his eye on one sexy man who comes in. However Trudy has already warned him that Jonah is not an easy person. He is in fact very grumpy and not very nice to people. However that doesn’t stop Aldrin from going after the man and making him smile.
Jonah’s grandfather founded Cade Creek and growing up he was not a happy camper. He gave his family hell and even joined the military to get away. Then tragedy struck and it was his stubborn father that had told him to come home, the first time. Then something even worse happened, he was injured while at war, and on the same week he lost his entire family to a car accident. He broke down and hid out on his mountain top. His therapist suggested going to a few places at least once a week and one of his favorites was going to have Sunday dinner at the diner. He just had not expected to find a man that might make him want to live again. Too bad someone out there wanted them dead.
This author’s stories not only draw you in but keeps you there. She gives you hot sex, lots of love and tenderness, mixed in with excitement, adventure and lots of dangerous situations
The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. To me there is nothing better than a good romance.
I can honestly tell you that this is going to be one of those types of series that you can’t put down and have to read more than once. It is the perfect story for me and gave me all that I needed. I love the way all the feelings they felt was involved in this story. I had a blast reading it and I can’t wait to read the next story. When Stormy puts out a book I am usually there to eat them up.
I would definitely recommend reading this book. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.
