For odd-girl-out Zoey Hodge, the best thing about Buckhorn, Kentucky, was leaving it behind. And now she’s back—at least until she can nurse her mother back to health and hightail it out of there anew. But there’s one person she doesn’t mind seeing again. Garrett Hudson was one of the few who was always kind to her. Now he’s a firefighter—still one of the good guys, but with a sexy alpha charm that’s tempting her inner bad girl.In school, Zoey was smart, witty and unafraid to be herself. Garrett fell hard back then, and he’s falling even faster now. As far as he’s concerned, there are all kinds of reasons Zoey should stick around. Her pet grooming business. Her mom. And the chance for him to prove that he can be her real-life hero in every way that mattersAlthough Lori Foster is one of my favorite authors and has been for years, I feel she was quite lazy with this story and it is just not up to her usual standards. Oh, technically, the spelling, editing, grammar etc is all good, but the story reads more like a  outline rather than a well developed story.For one thing, given the title, one would expect some interaction with the original Buckhorn brothers rather than a mere mention of one and a cameo by Morgan.For another, it is much too short.  I was anticipating a long read getting reacquainted with old favorites while meeting new members of the family.  That did not happen.Another way it is too short is that both Zoey and Garret are adamant about being friends with benefits only and then suddenly they are full blown in love with each other and no hint of how they worked out their issues.On the whole, I could have skipped this one and not felt as if I missed a thing.
