Maxwell Van Buren is the CEO of a Mexican/American restaurant chain that is in trouble and in need of reinvention. He decides he needs to see what the competition is doing that works for them. From the start of his "mission" things go wrong or maybe a bit right. Depends on who is talking.Alejandra "Allie" is a single mother trying to make a life for herself and her son. Widowed at a young age she finds solace with her Aunt in Arizona. When her Aunt passes away Allie inherits her Aunts small Mexican restaurant. Allie pours all of her energy into the restaurant and raising her son. When tragedy strikes, Max happens to be there and steps in to help. As the situation unfolds he neglect to tell her his real purpose for being in the area and just who he is.This story shows the need for respect and trust in any relationship and how without these things there is no actual relationship, it also shows the importance of family.I really enjoyed this story. It was well written and kept me wanting to turn the pages. I liked the way the author chose to build/write the characters. The values that the author instilled in the characters are ones I hold dear, so relating to those made the book even better.
