Synopsis (Goodreads):
Darby Dunwell is not—as her name might suggest—a Bond Girl, though she's been blessed with the body of one. An east coast, ivy-league, trust fund kid, she flees a life of expectation, elocution, and executive board rooms to follow her one true Coffee. Isn't the Washington Coast the Mecca for all things brew related? The deeply eccentric seaside tourist hamlet of Townsend Harbor throws its doors wide open for her sex-positive, bikini-themed coffee shop named, Brewbies. Her grand opening is an unmitigated success, until the county sheriff saunters in to shut her down.Thoughts on Brewbies: Ethan (who we met in Cady's book and who is still sort of stinging that she dumped him for a guy who might be a felon) is one of those guys who always tries to do the right thing. His mom threw a chaos-bomb in his normally ordered world when she did some not-so-great (and sort of illegal) things in her quest to take Cady's bookstore from her.
Compulsive rule-follower Sheriff Ethan Townsend is known for helping old ladies across the road, breaking up bar fights, and keeping the sleepy town safe from the flood of seasonal tourists. One-night stands, not so much. After having his heart publicly stomped on, he no longer bothers to ask the name of the woman he's going to forget in the morning. A policy he regrets when the woman who blew his mind turns out to be his nemesis. Not only is Darby's salacious coffee shop causing traffic incidents on the Coastal Highway, its proprietress keeps making his life-among other things-as hard as possible.
Darby finds herself embroiled in a feud she never wanted with the cop who is as tight assed as his trousers suggest. But even as their animosity sizzles and the town begins to take sides, Ethan can't seem to keep his eyes off Darby's double D's.
In other words, the poor guy is a little shell-shocked, a lot hurt, and still trying to do the right thing. He's also not exactly talking to his mom, but that's another story for another time. Maybe.
When Darby and her sassy coffee concoctions set up shop in Townsend Harbor, Ethan's life is thrown into even more disarray. Because she doesn't mind going toe to toe with him, she's the lady he got down and dirrrrrty with a few weeks before, and he absolutely can't stop thinking about her.
On Darby's end, she's quirky enough to fit in to Townsend Harbor (even though she doesn't feel like she does), she has a habit of telling the truth even when she absolutely means to lie, and she can't stop thinking about what the sexy Sheriff looks like out of uniform. She's also dealing with a few other things that weigh on her. Ehh, maybe they don't weigh on her, but they do color the way she does some things.
A coffee shop with personality, a lady who makes friends with people you'd never expect, a man going through the motions, a carnival that sizzles, and a whole lot of smoldering glances. Because these two really can't keep their eyes (or hands) to themselves. YESSSSS!
