After eight long years, Storie Bell returns to Bloomington, Texas with her only friend Harper Patterson. Storie's father passed away and has left her a "dilapidated old gas station". She and Harper are renovating the property to start a bookstore cafe. The small town has nothing like it and is in need of a place that will keep people reading.The Storiebook Cafe, "where happy endings begin..." This is Storie's chance to start fresh. You see, Storie is a witch. A good witch. But unable to control her power has caused Storie to move around a lot. Storie dies not want to rely on her magic. She wants to feel like an ordinary person.Storie's contractor ran out on them just a week before the cafe's grand opening. Reid Malone, from the bar next door, offered to do the work. Storie does not trust the Malone's after she found out they tried to buy the gas station. She has a right to be suspicious because Reid's offer to help is two-fold. One - he wants to finish a very steamy encounter he had with Storie eight years ago. And two - Reid needs to search the property for a secret room that holds the secret ingredient to his father's famous moonshine. A company wants to buy the moonshine recipe for millions of dollars.* 5 Stars *This book is hot, hot, hot!The connection and chemistry between Storie and Reid is intense, especially if the attraction lasted over the eight years since they last saw each other. That explains for some inappropriate encounters that seem completely normal in the book.I wish there was more information, or more detail, about the trinity. About Storie's brother and sister and how their magic works together. Also, how their mother plays into her children's magic. I felt the explanation was just slapped together at the end. I am hoping for a sequel or aeries to get some answers.By the way - Reid is cowboy sexy!Until next time, live life one page at a time!
