Jen Mackenzie has been knocked down more than a few times, but she always gets up and makes sure she has the last word. It’s the reason she now considers herself equal parts self-sufficient and free-spirit. But since losing her job and trying to help her mother beat cancer, real life―and her occasional careless choices―have begun to catch up with her. Her one saving grace: The Stag, a boutique distillery that has become Kansas City’s go-to wedding venue. The only catch: One of the owners, TJ Laughlin, happens to be the one man who somehow manages to make Jen feel inadequate.

TJ has secretly had a thing for Jen since high school. Now, as her new boss, it’s a daily struggle between revealing his feelings and wringing her beautiful neck. Only one thing is for certain: he can’t stand idly by and watch the woman he cares for struggle. She may be convinced that accepting TJ’s help is a weakness. But all he sees in Jen is beauty and strength, inside and out. As things finally heat up between them, can TJ find a way to convince Jen that love is about give and take―and having it all, together?

Things have been going down for Jen and shes doing the best that she can with the circumstance that shes been dealt. Even with all her problem and her mother going through trial cancer treatment she refuses to let it get her down and will try do do whatever she can. The one thing that remained really good for her is working at The Stag even if she has to deal with TJ Laughlin who seems to have everything just figured out. Meanwhile TJ has had a thing for Jen for so long and has been watching Jen struggle she refuse let him help her out.

I can honestly say that I really enjoyed this book. There was romance and plenty of drama. I loved that Jen was such a strong character and she really tried doing what she can and even continued to be nice to her mother even if she was a crappy one. I loved seeing how protective TJ was and seeing him try to help out when he could and how he was able to be there and lift Jens spirits when things were looking tough. Overall this was a pretty good book I really enjoyed it.
