Review by: Flavia

I Have to say that I loved this one. Even though it was a quick read it still got the job done.

Valentina is an attorney and was asked a favour from her best friend, to help with Duke and Luke (twins, lol) distillery. And from the moment she and Duke met there were sparks flying. But even though Duke found Valentina sexy and hot and their chemistry was off the charts he just didn't need the headache of getting involved with his sister in law's best friend.

Valentina is not cut out for a small town or for that fact a playboy like Duke. But when the attraction can't be fought anymore they both know that it's just a temporary thing... isn't it??? Will this city lawyer and small town guy be able to just live in the moment or will their feelings be too much for both of them to walk away?

Even though this was a novella and a short read it was still packed with lots of fun, cute and sexy goodness.

“I’ll drink to that,” I replied, flagging the bartender down for another round. Just then some movement over Valentina’s shoulder caught my eye. A woman had just walked into the bar, her chin-length, curly brown hair bouncing with every step. Our eyes met, and she smiled like she knew me. I gave her a half smile back, which quickly faded when I realized who she was. Amber, my ex from college who’d moved away shortly after we graduated. Her hair was different, but her face was pretty much the same. The same round cheeks, full lips, pale blue eyes. Eyes that bore into mine as she turned the corner, making her way to our table. It was then that I noticed she wasn’t alone. She had a boy with her, and when his gaze met mine, my stomach dropped. That kid could have been my clone. Brown hair, green eyes, same nose, same chin. He even had my same damn dimples. My heart was beating so hard, I thought it might jump right out from my throat. What the hell? “Earth to Duke, are you paying for this round, or am I?” Valentina’s voice broke me from my panic just in time for Amber and the little boy to reach our table. “Hey there, Duke. I was hoping I’d find you here.” Amber’s voice was just as sweet and syrupy as ever, but in that moment, it sounded to me like nails on a chalkboard. She smiled broadly at me, her hands on the boy’s shoulders, while the boy stared blankly up at me. “Hey, Amber,” I said when I finally found my voice. “What’s it been, ten years?” “Almost eleven.” I nodded, my mind still spinning, and that’s when I noticed Valentina. She was sitting up perfectly straight, her lips pulled into a thin, taut line across her face. Her eyes were wide and trained on the boy’s face, her expression unreadable. “This is Valentina,” I said, gesturing to her, but the moment the words left my mouth, Valentina stood and grabbed her purse. “I was just leaving,” she said, quickly tucking her chair in behind her and forcing a smile at Amber and the boy. “Valentina—”
