Burgers & Brew Crüe #10
You're All I Need
Caden
I don’t do relationships. Ever. Life is too short, and love is too painful. I’m a live in the moment kind of guy with whichever woman wants to accompany me for a night or two, and I always make sure they know the score before we ever make it to second base. It’s the only way I operate.
That all changes the moment Adrienne takes me home with her.
I’m instantly addicted. The problem is she becomes more than just a friend. She’s everything I didn’t know I needed and the polar opposite of the woman who destroyed my heart.
Falling in love with her isn’t an option.
Adrienne
After picking up my life and moving to the small town of Stewart Grove, I’ve been able to put the hurt of my past behind me. My new motto is to live for today and enjoy the ride. I’ve got a great job at the popular local hotspot, new friends I adore, and am building a life I’m proud of. I have everything I need.
Then Caden saunters up with his rugged good looks, disarming smile, and an offer I can’t refuse.
I fight my attraction as long as I can. I have to. I’m not looking to get into another relationship, but life has a way of throwing you a curveball every now and again.
Mine comes in the form of two pink lines.

4.5✨ There was so much to love about this one. It was one of those books that pulled me in and didn’t let go. Caden and Adrienne’s relationship evolved naturally—they were upfront about wanting something casual, just a little fun with no strings attached. But as they spent more time together, a deep friendship formed, making it no surprise where things would lead.
Their friends-with-benefits arrangement starts quickly, but their feelings develop slowly, creating an organic build-up. Both characters are complex, each carrying their own emotional baggage. The friend group was just as amazing as the rest of the series, offering honest, upfront support that added depth to the story. It’s packed with swoony, sweet moments, well-rounded characters, minimal drama, and the perfect amount of spice, several open-door scenes and flirty banter without dominating the plot.
There is a surprise pregnancy, but it doesn’t happen until 80% in, making it feel like a natural progression rather than the focus of the story. If you’re looking for the accidental pregnancy trope, it’s a small part of the book rather than a major plot point.
This swoon-worthy read is absolutely worth it. It can be enjoyed as an interconnected standalone, as one of my favorite series I highly recommend all the books. I’m sad to say goodbye to this series, but this was a fantastic sendoff. And the bonus scene? A perfect final touch.

Caden and Adrienne
Hate to say goodbye!!
This is the tenth and last book of the Burgers & Brew Crüe Series.
Adrienne works for BBC and Caden is a hometown guy, so well known. Caden loved a woman years ago and was betrayed so he wants nothing to do with relationships. Adrienne had a very similar situation so she also wanted nothing to do with relationships. But Caden nor Adrienne can deny the chemistry they have with one another. So after months of flirting banter, it’s time they hook up. The rules: No feelings, just sex! So far…so good. Leading up to this point was fun and flirty.
Fast forward a bit..when we get to the middle, Caden and Adrienne are still enjoying their rule, and occasionally they will hang out here and there..but that’s about it. For a few chapters, there’s a lull as it’s just about whether they have time to hook up or not. They usually do.
Caden’s ex is getting married and his grandma convinces him to go. She also invites Adrienne to go with Caden. They agree to go together and have a really good time together.not so much the wedding. Kind of a lot of hype around this and not much to it. Caden and Adrienne avoid the couple as much as possible, have a small encounter, and then leave. It’s your cheating ex and cousin! A little anticlimactic for me. But anyways.
To not spoil I’ll be a little vague but as Caden and Adrienne spend more and more time together, they both start to catch feelings. Individually, they realize this and both consider ending things. And now..you hav to read the rest.
Overall, I really did like this book. I think I liked it more because I like the series and it ties into that world created. But all of the books are good and I definitely recommend.

4.5 stars
I have been reading this series from the beginning, was thrilled when we found out about book five. I have fallen in love with every couple, and cleared my schedule for every release.
This is a special series, each couple worms their way into your heart. Caden and Adrianne are no exception. As friends and then lovers, he is the one who is anti-relationship, yet he is working awfully hard for Adrienne’s attention.
I will miss this small town, the bar, and mostly the found family they have created.
The bonus scene, do not skip this, it has made me want to start the series over from the beginning. I am going to miss this crüe!
Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

Can't believe the series is over!
I really enjoyed Caden and Adrienne's book. I felt they had a connection and chemistry.
I loved how they agreed to a no-strings relationship but, then it turns into more. I love when that happens haha! I could tell when Caden began to feel more than friendship with Adrienne and vice versa. But, they were both afraid to say anything. I also enjoyed the surprise pregnancy! I love that trope. Their banter was hilarious.
I am sad to see this series come to an end but I can't wait to see what new series will be next!

I write this review with a tear in my eye as You’re All I Need marks the end of Lacey Black’s incredible Burgers and Brew Crüe series. When this series first began, I doubt even Ms Black herself could have anticipated the magic she was about to create—not just once, not twice, but ten times over. Each book has been a five-star read, delivering unforgettable couples who have all left their mark on my heart.
In this emotional and swoon-worthy finale, we meet Caden and Adrienne—two people who have had their hearts shattered and their faith in love tested. Caden, a staple at Burgers and Brew, and Adrienne, the relatively new bartender, have been dancing around their attraction for ages. What starts as playful flirting soon turns into something more, as they agree to a no-strings-attached arrangement—only to realize that their connection runs far deeper than either expected.
Their chemistry is electric, setting the pages on fire with passion, but it’s the emotional journey of breaking down their walls and embracing love that truly makes this story shine. Watching them fall for each other was the perfect way to bring this series to a close, ending on the same emotional high with which it began.
Lacey Black never disappoints when it comes to crafting must-read romances that leave you smiling. Whether you’re discovering this series for the first time (lucky you—you have nine amazing books ahead!) or, like me, feeling bittersweet about saying goodbye, one thing is certain: I can’t wait to see what she writes next.

I can't believe it's over!!!! This series, that was originally supposed to be four books, about four "brothers" (best friends, chosen family who started a business together), and has grown into THE most AMAZING series, filled with EVERYTHING I have come to expect from Lacey!!! I have loved every single one of these stories that have shown just extraordinary Ms. Black's talent truly is....and just WHY she is one of the QUEENS of small-town, family saga romance!!!
So, You're All I Need is Caden and Adrienne's story. They both have their reasons for not wanting a relationship, to get involved with anyone! The chemistry between then from the get-go was obvious (and SIZZLING!!!!) The banter between them is the best!!! When Caden suggests a no-strings, friends-with-benefits arrangement to Adrienne, she's ALL IN! After all, Caden is up front about what he wants and what he expects and Adrienne wants the same....no harm, no foul....until the inevitable feelings start to be felt and the UNTHINKABLE happens!!!! Those two pink lines change EVERYTHING!!!
I am sad that the Burgers and Brew Crüe series is done, but it has given me soooooo many feels along the way! The laughter, the tears, the angst, the found family, the hilarious and sometimes SPICY banter and especially all the love that makes it all worth while! Every book in this series is a MUST READ and I can't recommend them highly enough! I can't WAIT to see what Ms. Black has in store for us next! Whatever it is, BRING, IT. ON!!!

Adrienne is the new waitress, having moved to town to start a new chapter. We all know Caden from Jack and Stevie's story; Jack's best friend and they own the business together. Caden has never shied away from the ladies, but he is very clear about his no strings, just friends nothing more stance. Adrienne is all about working on herself and doesn't even want to think about the possibility of a relationship, so Caden is just what the doctor order. Someone fun to be with, but nothing serious, and cures the lonely times. What happens when they both start to realize that their arrangement has started to have feelings attached? Will they call it quits?
We all know how this goes, those no strings just fun arrangements hardly work, but they are so much fun to read about. The drama that always goes with these types of reads, make it worth it. Nice way to end the story, and I give this 4 stars.

Tropes:
🩶small town

🩶playboy hero
🖤friends to lovers
🩶surprise pregnancy
🖤sworn off relationship
🩶emotional baggage
🖤family dynamics
You’re All I Need is book 10 and final book of the Burgers and Brew Crue series and this series has been one of my favorites from Lacey . It took a hold of me from the very start, just like Summer Girls did, and never let me go. The series…. it’s going out with a bang as this one was one of my favorite books of the series and is the story of Adrienne and Caden.
Both Characters have emotional baggage. Adrienne has just moved to town a few months ago after her fiancé cheated on her and he’d been cheating for months with her friend, and he breaks it off the day of the wedding. Devastated, and needing a change she moved near her uncle for a fresh start and starts working at Burgers n Brew, where she meets Caden and is drawn to him.
Caden has had his own emotional trauma with his ex, her baby and his cousin. Since then he doesn’t do relationships or get attached. He doesn’t do love and feeling so there’s no way to have that hurt again. He’s also drawn to Adrienne in a way he hasn’t felt before.
Both Adrienne and Caden agree to no relationship but what happens when the feelings start to come out and play and when Adrienne sees those two pink lines will it send Caden packing for the hills or is he in for the long haul?
Like a lot of these books this book includes the banter of the guys and also proves friends can be family , family isn’t always blood . I have absolutely adored this series and it’s so bittersweet to have to say goodbye.
Make sure you read the bonus scene it’s great
Thank you Lacey and Give me books pr for this advanced copy it’s sad to have to say goodbye to this group.

I can't believe this is the last book in this series! I've enjoyed each and every one of the stories, but this one...Caden and Adrienne, their chemistry and hotness between the sheets, was a great way to end this series! 5 amazing stars for this one!
Caden swears he will never allow love in his life again. After what he went through, he's content to just have fun and let the women know ahead of time that's all it will ever be. Until he see's Adrienne, there is just something about her that draws him in! He wants her, but he has to tread lightly here, they all love her and the last thing he wants to do is hurt her.
Adrienne has been through the ringer with her ex, and moved to town to start over. The last thing she's looking for is a relationship, so when Caden proposes a no strings attached benefits arrangement, she figures what the heck!
These two share off the charts chemistry, and light up the nights they are together, but when feelings start to get in the way, which one of them will cave first?
I loved this story, and I'm so sad to see this series end! Don't miss out on this one!

This is the end of an Era. And it was so good. I loved it. Caden and Adrienne's relationship was so real and relatable. Never seemed rushed or forced.
I absolutely love all the reappearances of the previous characters and watching how their friend group expands so naturally.

This one is going to hurt to write and I have legit questions for the author as to 𝙒𝙃𝙔? I know this is the last book in the series but I was shocked to find this book so disheveled. I don't think it was me, usually I am a moody bish when I read but this one I was confused for a lot of it. THIS MAY CONTACIN SPOILERS *on the rare ocassion I will write a review that contains spoilers because I can't explain it in other ways* SO BE AWARE!
STILL HERE?
KEEP GOING?
YOU SURE YOU WANT SPOILERS?
YOU ASKED FOR IT!
That said the MMC and MFC were so confusing to me. They were not in a relationship but a mutual fling and when I say mutual I really mean that. AND THAT'S IT. He was okay with leaving at the end of the end and she was okay with it. Up until about 70% yes you read that correctly. In between that time, you get a small glimpse of the MMC and the MFC possibly having some sort of small feelings but nothing that CONNECTS THEM. Thats what killed me first, the no connection between them except great smecks. I don't mind the smut scenes but when there is no connection, I just don't feel it. Now we are past 70% and getting close to the 80% and these two finally start talking about feeling for one another. I instantly knew what would happen next and how it will be rushed. Which the ending was rushed yes because WE ARE ALREADY AT 80+% [I'm calm I promise] so we throw in the pregnancy trope right before 905? This is where the question for the author comes in, WHY? Why that late and then let him be mean to her and then come right back and she just takes him back, I know why because we are almost out if time, we are in 90+% at this point but that really threw me off. I knew how the rest was going to happen to I did not bother reading on. It's not a DNF was I was not connected to this book at all like the rest of them in this series which I loved very much.
So long story short this felt like me writing a review that would go like: two people who know each other, flirt, get into a mutual agreed fling that last a very long time where they do things together in between but never mention any real feeling for one another that they stick with, they have lots of smecks and he is even swoony at times. The end. As you can tell I am upset by this, not in any way shape or form am I bashing the author, after all this is their story and series to write. But being a big fan of this series and have read all the 9 before, I was upset that it ended like this. That's all I am writing there isn't much more to say.

Both Adrienne and Caden have been burned by past relationships and have sworn never to love or get involved in a relationship again. Sex without strings is the only way to go and fits their current personalities and goals to a tee. Caden is a flirt who loves a good time but only with women who know the score. And, Adrienne has made a promise to herself to prioritize her needs and happiness first. While she loves sex, it does not need to come with a relationship.
It seems like the perfect friends with benefits non-relationship . . . . until those darn feelings mess everything up!
I can't believe this series is over, but Caden and Adrienne send us out with a bang! Caden is such a flirt, quite the dirty talker, and sexy man from head to toe. Adrienne is sassy and confident and has no problem taking what she wants and everything that Caden has to offer.
They fit together so well that they don't even see what's happening until they have both fallen . . . and it was awesome even if there is a bit of angst before they admit their feelings. 5 stars for Caden and Adrienne and all the fun they had as they fell in love!
And, as I said, this is the final book for the Burgers and Brew Crüe, so be sure to grab the bonus epilogue for an amazing send off and glimpse at the future. I even got a bit teary eyed at this final goodbye and the reminiscence of where it all began.

And, as I said, this is the final book for the Burgers and Brew Crüe, so be sure to grab the bonus epilogue for an amazing send off and glimpse at the future. I even got a bit teary eyed at this final goodbye and the reminiscence of where it all began.

It breaks my heart that this series has come to an end. Each and every story was different and unique in its own way, and I think that ‘You’re All I Need’ was a wonderful ending to the Burgers and Brue Crew series. Adrienne and Caden were the stars of the show, but it was awesome to see past characters from this series show up in their own ways.
Black’s ’You’re All I Need’ was filled with great development and witty banter. Only a “Friends to Lovers” can give off that kind of witty banter. The chemistry was palpable from the very beginning. I loved seeing and feeling the change in feelings as time went on. It felt authentic.
I loved Adrienne. I loved how she wasn’t your average heroine. She didn’t let her past define her, she let it make her a better version of herself.
Caden was the ultimate playboy, but watching his growth mentally was a game changer. His love for his friends and family really showed up and out as well.
As I mentioned before, I am so sad this series is over and i definitely recommend it, but I am equally excited to see what else this author can do.

Five Star End to a Fantastic Series
I have loved every story in the Burgers and Brew series and this one is no different. Neither Caden nor Adrienne wanted a serious relationship as they were both badly hurt by their exes. So a friends with benefits arrangement was made, but as always, feelings develop and they don’t know what to do with them. Caden and Adrienne both had to overcome their past hurts. The friendship they built and the way they were there for each other was truly special. It was amazing to watch them grow, discover who they truly are, and ultimately find their perfect soulmate in each other. I loved their innuendo filled banter and amazing chemistry. This was a wonderful end to a series, and as sad as I am that it is over, I can’t wait for what Lacey has coming to her readers next.

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~
Caden has been wanting Adrienne from the moment he saw her but he is simply a one night stand type of man due to his past and never thought she'd want the same. Adrienne has a hurtful past she is trying to overcome as well so Caden is perfect for her or so she thought, that is until she catches feelings and more. Ohh my I love this book, and I cannot believe it is the end of this series. I love all the characters in this series and one more story just completely enhanced my love for this author. I love how this group of people turned from friends into a big, huge family that all worked together. Kaylee Ryan really tied up the series so well with the little extra story she gave her fans at the end. I'm just sad that their story is over. But with her being one of my favorite authors I know she'll give me more to read down the road that will keep me on my toes and wanting more. Thank you, Kaylee Ryan, for 10 amazing books and a series I will read again and again.

No 10 and the final book in The Burgers & Brew Crue series - but what a way to end off.
* Friends To Lovers
* No Strings Affair
* Surprise Pregnancy
* Family Drama
Adrienne is new in town, making a fresh start, and the last thing she's looking for is a relationship after being left at the altar.
Caden doesn't do relationships after his own traumatic break-up years before.
A no strings affair suits these two perfectly until they both start to feel more & a surprise pregnancy brings back old insecurities.
Grab your copy today to see if they admit their feelings & turn temporary into forever?
I adored the flirty banter between these two relatable characters & how they evolved to express their emotions & past hurts.
I especially appreciated the way LB emphasised curvy girl beauty and positivity - made for a big change in a FMC.
An overall special end to series that I will miss!

I can't believe this is the last Burgers and Brew Crüe book. I fell in love with this series right from the beginning and getting so many more great books than I thought made my heart so happy. This one last book was a nice ending to a great series. I love we get to see the previous characters living their beat HEAs. This book has two people swearing off relationships because they were once burned. Caden and Adrienne have an easy way with one another. They have the chemistry down pat, but the more time they spend with one another the lines blur. One little surprise puts both their worlds in a tailspin. One of my favorite parts of this books is the genuine pleasure of just spending time together between Caden and Adrienne. Will they let their pasts rule their hearts or will they let their hearts have a chance to beat for love once again? The bonus epilogue is everything!! The perfect send off to the series!

Normally I am a quick reader…but knowing that this is the last book in the Burgers and Brew Crüe series, I made myself slow down this time. I was not and am not ready for this series to be over with. I did shed a few tears at the end – not sure if it was because I loved the story or because it was the end of a great series. Maybe both!
I cried and laughed while following Caden and Adrienne’s storyline. These two die-hard, not wanting a relationship, just like things casual people decided that friends-with-benefits is the way to go! Boy were those two wrong! Neither of them were looking for love….but love found them and smacked straight into their hearts!
I will really miss:
Walker/Mallory, Jasper/Lyndee, Isaac/BJ, Jameson/Madelyn, Garreth/Reagan
Leo/Kallie, Kellen/Cameron, Tucker/Kinsely, Jack/Stevie, Caden/Adrienne
Hoping that maybe someday down the road a novella will take place and we can all hang out at Burgers and Brew again!

I can’t believe this is the end!!!
Ten books! Lacey has given us ten books in her Burgers & Brew Crüe series, and this is the final book. I’m not going to lie this is a little bittersweet for me, every time I picked one of these up it was like coming home and spending some time with my friends.
Caden was always up for a good time, and he thought he found the perfect partner in Adrienne. She was a girl with like minded thoughts. Neither wanted that forever type of love, they honestly didn’t think it existed. Imagine their surprise when they found themselves falling for each other.
Do not miss out on this book, Lacey writes relatable characters that you are going to root for. There are ten books in this series, and they are standalones, but I promise you will have a better experience when you start at the beginning!!

Caden and Adrienne's story is about chemistry and emotional rediscovery. Both are avoiding real commitment due to past hurts. All they are good for is offering is a good time but matters of the heart are not up for discussion.
Their time together brings out deep feelings, showing true value beyond physical attraction. They are fighting the overwhelming feeling that is trying to take over, but past doubts begin to creep in and soon they’re put to the test to see if they can ride off into the sunset.
The only problem I had with the story was Caden's brief apology and gifts, that seemed not enough for me; more effort from him would have been better.
Despite this, their happy ending highlights second chances and how one can feel happiness when you let you heart rule.

This is the final book in a series that revolves around the Burgers and Brew Restaurant and brewery. This is Caden and Adrienne’s story. Caden and Adrienne are both completely uninterested in relationships. They decide to have a no strings relationship and as these things tend to do, feelings get involved despite their best efforts.
I have loved all the books in this series. I loved both Coden and Adrienne because they are both unapologetically themselves and they are clear with what they want from each other. When Caden’s family forces him into an extremely uncomfortable situation, Adrienne steps up to support him. As they spend more time together they form a friendship outside of the benefits and their feelings grow. There are a lot of sweet moments that create a bit of a slow burn. Great read and a good ending to an enjoyable series.

I may have cried a little since this is the last book of the series. I have been in with these characters since the beginning! Lacey has captured my heart with a group of characters I love and adore.
This is Caden and Adrienne's story. You get friends to lovers, surprise pregnancy (which is a favorite of mine) in a small town! I mean, how could you not love this book already.
Caden and Adrienne have so much chemistry, and I really enjoyed their story. They both don't want anything serious, but you know how that always goes.
The friendship they have is so sweet, and I loved how they were there for each other.
If you could read a series and love all the characters, even 10 books later, you know it is a good one.

After the way her last relationship ended all Adrienne wants is a fresh start. When she began working with Caden she can’t deny her attraction to him, but she isn’t ready for romance but a casual relationship with him where they can both get what they want while protecting their hearts seems like the perfect solution.
Caden has been hurt in the past as well and it is an experience he is determined not to repeat. A casual relationship with Adrienne seems like the perfect solution however fate has a much different plan for them.
The chemistry between them is intense as Adrienne and Caden help each other heal from the past. It is always fun to spend time with the group and this story was no exception.

The Burgers and Brew crew are together again. What a beautiful story from Lacey again. She has given us a unconventional love story of Caden and Adrienne. Two people so willing to love with no strings always casual. Guarding their hearts from themselves. They both have felt incredible pain from supposed love ones. You will feel their pain with Lacey's words. This is why casual relationships worked until it dosent. Cade and Adrienna flirt, love hard, give as good as they get as friends and falls in love. Finding that special person that sets off fireworks in their heads and hearts. Definitely a HEA for them just like everyone in this Crew aka family. Sad to see the series end. Can't wait for what is next.!!!!!!!

The last in a great series
Rather than write about this, the final book of this series, I want to state that this has been a delightful run of stories. The author has put together captivating plots with good main characters and lots of romance, fun banter and situations, spicey scenes and lots of warmth, with little drama. I've enjoyed each book. But I want to mention the bonus epilogue provided for this series, the link at the end of this book. I've often wished we could see the longer term outcome of the characters I've enjoyed in the series, at the twenty year celebration of the opening of their famous bar and grill. It felt so satisfying to see the author's vision of how they turned out. Thanks, Lacey Black for a great ride.

There are some series that just grab you by the heart and Crue is one of them. Lacey had me when Walker jumped on that bar but Caden was just the perfect way to end. Two people who had there own reasons to not want to fall but end up falling hard without even realising. I loved every moment of this story, we met Caden & Adrienne in Stevies book but that only scratched the surface of these two. I loved how they are friends and have such a connection which is more than just friends with benefits and love how both Stevie and Jack are there to support them through all the challenges and it shows true friendship. I loved every moment of this story and I didn’t want it to end just perfect.

This is the 10th book in this phenomenal series, and this is Caden and Adrienne’s story.
Caden has been burnt in the past and has sworn off relationships, while Adrienne moved into town for a fresh start, and there is an instant attraction between them.
This is a well written story which is easy to read, with found family, friendships, emotions, engaging and realistic characters, opposites attract, friends / lovers, humor, witty banter, undeniable chemistry, surprises, and love, which leads to an entertaining, spicy, and fun small town romance.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

A great ending to a great series!
I loved this one. It was funny, cute and had me smiling the whole time.
These two were a chip off the same block. They both thought they knew what they wanted. A good time. They kept each other on their toes and the banter was so fun. I loved the friendship they built and the benefits they added.
Of course they fall in love. Both not looking for it but falling just the same. Both afraid but both fighting for it. Took a bit longer for one of them but they came around in the end.
I’m going to miss this world and all the characters in it. Burger and Brew will forever be one of my favorite places to be!!!!
