This smoothly paced contemporary with a sexy meet-cute is another hit for Chase's Shaughnessy Brother's series (after Made for Us). Runaway bride Aubrey Burke needs to retrieve her suitcase so she can be on the next, and last, flight away from the California wine country resort that was supposed to host her elaborate destination wedding. Unfortunately, this plan requires climbing through the office window of infuriating resort owner Hugh Shaughnessy, and he catches her in the act. Before he can send her on her way, she impresses his business associate with some of her ideas, and the associate insists that Hugh hire her. Analytical and meticulous Hugh finds it increasingly difficult to ignore his attraction to his free-spirited new employee, while Aubrey tries to stay focused on regaining control of her life. The two of them are intensely drawn to each other, but their opposite personalities and painful pasts threaten to stall their growing relationship. Readers will love getting to know this unexpectedly well-matched couple and revisiting the rambunctious Shaughnessy clan. As rock star brother Riley encourages Hugh to live a little, Riley begins to question his own carefree lifestyle-a perfect setup for the next installment. Agent: Mark Gottlieb, Trident Media Group.

Resort owner Hugh manages every detail of his business, but he is not sure what to do with Aubrey when he finds her climbing into his office window. It turns out that she is running away from an elopement. She finds a job with a wine distributor Hugh is trying to connect with after she comes up with a brilliant marketing campaign. Hugh's iron control stems from his perceived role in the death of his mother when he was a teen. Aubrey has her own family issues and a secret she thinks is preventing a future with Hugh. Yet as they travel and work together, they soon fall in love. In the second installment in her Shaughnessy Brothers series, following Made for Us (2015), Chase presents enjoyably well-developed, satisfying character arcs, while the detailed resort settings bring a luxurious note to a warm, excellent romance. Family scenes with other characters in the series add to the fun. Fans of Susan Elizabeth Phillips may also enjoy Chase.--Alessio, Amy Copyright 2016 Booklist
