Autumn Heat (Book 1) first if you can. They can definitely be read stand-alone, but as the series is about 4 brothers you can imagine there is a lot of crossover.Theo has returned to Star Harbour to try and kick start himself back into action. A well respected author, who has spent the past few years in San Francisco, he has found himself at a crossroads and struggling to find inspiration for his writing. Staying on his brothers houseboat and having to share a cramped cabin with his older brother Cole isn't helping matters much. So as suggested by his friend Emma, he decides to move into the Inn to give himself some breathing space.There he meets Avery Newbridge (Emma's sister) and their connection is instant. Avery is in Star Harbour herself dealing with a traumatic event from her past, and looking to decide where she wants her future to take her. She doesn't believe that Theo has a place in her life as it is, and is scared that as soon as he gets his inspiration for writing back, he will skip town to head back to the big city, leaving her to put herself back together again.I enjoyed this book as much as DAH, however I will say I didn't connect with Avery as much as I did with Lexxie from DAH. I could see the emotional turmoil Avery was going through, but sometimes I literally wanted to give her a shake and tell her to stop being such a Martyr. Yes she does pull herself together, but as someone who is a social worker, it seemed that she struggled to think rationally about her relationship with Theo, bordering on childish on a couple of occasions. She did eventually "take stock" and realise what an idiot she was being, but at points I found myself rolling my eyes.So Spring is just round the corner, I cannot wait too see what Cole's story has in store for us.ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for the above honest review.
