The Duke Brothers Book 2: The Moment They Can’t Forget by Lani Blake

 

The Duke Brothers Book 2

Rule #1 in the best friends handbook is, don’t sleep with your best friend’s sister.

Alcohol and a hot forbidden woman never mix.

One night. Plenty of fun that turned dirty, and a morning of regrets.

J.D. Hopper hadn’t planned on Zoe Duke being the girl he couldn’t get out of his head. What he had planned on was never acting on it, until he did.

Now he had to pretend she’s kind of a friend, but more an irritation.

A woman who had rocked his world in a single night.

And then there were her big, bad brothers.

J.D. Hopper was everything Zoe hated in a man—arrogant, rich and drop dead gorgeous.

They’d been idiots to do what they had, but neither of them was into happy-ever-afters. So why can’t she forget him or his body?

A visit from her past and a secret from his and suddenly life was a whole lot harder for both of them.

And then there was her brothers.

Lyntacky was like most small towns. It had its interfering locals and families who could trace their roots back hundreds of years. Where Lyntacky stood out from the rest was their love of Square Dancing and the Duke brothers. Both were trouble. Neither had plans for leaving.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

It’s always so fun coming back to the towns created by Lani Blake. Lyntacky is just another quirky town where things like not line dancing when the music plays means ending up in jail for a night. Or how nothing remains a secret for long. If one person knows, everyone knows. And of course, the sense of community where if the locals take you in, you have someone in your corner always. JD Hopper wasn’t born in Lyntacky. He came to visit his best friend, Sawyer Duke, and simply never left. He runs a business he enjoys and fosters all the animals in need of a home and some care. He thought he was doing pretty well. Until a night with Duke’s sister, Zoe, changes everything. The chemistry between them in undeniable. They both know nothing can happen again between them. Yet, neither can forget that it happened. And the more they are thrown together and get to know each a bit better, the harder it is to stay away. For Zoe, she came home after leaving her job in Chicago. Something happened and she was basically forced to leave. She won’t tell anyone but she knows she has some decisions to make about her future. And she isn’t sure if that includes JD. Her brothers won’t like it and she doesn’t plan to stick around. Yet, as the days pass she begins to wonder differently. Really enjoyed Zoe and JD’s story! It’s always fun diving back into this world and I can’t wait for the next book! 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
