title: Paradise Hops
author: Crowe, Liz
description: When the ideal man truly loves you...but his polar opposite will not exit your fantasies... Garrett Hunter is the dictionary definition of masculine perfection: Handsome, successful, stable, and eager to settle down. He's just landed his dream job - General manager for Brockton Brewing, one of Michigan's oldest and most storied craft breweries. Elias Buchanan is a craft beer rock star, recently hired to drag Brockton into the 21st century. He brings with him innovation and ego in equal measure. His reputation for a morally casual attitude precedes him but masks a fear of commitment he earned the hard way. Lori Brockton realizes she owes it to her father to take her place in the family business. Two years after barely surviving a brutal attack, she struggles with anxiety and self-doubt while working her way through each department, learning everything she can. The week before her final assignment - crafting beer alongside Brewmaster Eli - Lori's carefully constructed world gets upended when Garrett is introduced as the new GM. Confronted by attraction to two very different men, she makes a surprising choice that alters everyone's lives forever. One woman's grueling quest for independence on the road to recovery places her at a crossroads. A tender love story in the middle of personal chaos nearly ruined by forbidden physical temptation, Paradise Hops is the ultimate novel of full-circle second chances.
