I loved the third installment of the Emerald legacy series. Chad is the younger brother in the Whitman family. He runs the family diner and he is a player. He decides to start a microbrewery at the diner to help give him some excitement , that he thinks he is missing. So when he happens to find Jen Chavez in the parking lot of a microbrewery in Seattle. He finally feels the spark that his life is lacking. Jen is that spark.But , Jen is fighting her own demons and all she wants is a job. Not a rich guy , she isn't her mother. She doesn't want to latch on to a rich guy . Jen wants a life that is better . So she takes the job with Chad. But alas cupid doesn't play fair and they are falling in love with each other. But will their love be strong enough to get past jealous employee and a mother that will suck the life out of her.Elley takes us on a ride, that is first funny and a little teary at the same time. You can feel the pain that Jen is going through. She is so strong but one phone call from her mother, turns her into that small child again. With all the fears that go along with a lifestyle that is unbearable. I can understand how she feels. Relying on herself for so long , its hard to let yourself have help from anyone. Even the guy who has your heart but you are too stubborn to let it go. And Chad sometimes you just want to shake that boy and say hey wake up man. You have a wonderful family and a great girl . You are being to dam stubborn to realize it. He does eventually realize that he has the bull by the horns .  He does whatever it takes to get her back.  Which proves to me that you can have it all. Elley shows us that we all can have love, happiness, family and friendship.  We all deserve to have that in our lives .I think that this whole series will be a great summer read. Just hanging out in the hammock with a cold drink in your hand .
