What happens when Max Romero and his two best single, ex-Navy SEAL buddies open a bar together on a Florida Key? If that sounds like the opening line of a joke, it’s it’s the start of sultry island romances, a few broken hearts, and—if everything goes right—more than one happily ever after…
During the my worst nights in Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL, I lay awake in the desert, dreaming about running a bar on a tropical island with my two best friends. And now that we’re all in our thirties, we’re finally ready to make it happen.
My buddies have chosen Aurora Key for us, and it’s a rustic, tropical paradise that’s definitely a “No shoes, no shirt, no problem” kind of place. Our little watering hole—the appropriately named BAR (Bravo Alpha Romeo)—quickly becomes the meeting place for the locals. Everyone loves us, except for one feisty inn owner who wants to shut us down and keep the island from turning into Cocktail with Tom Cruise behind the bar. But with a little time and a few free drinks, we’re sure to win her over.
The sexy, single artist who lives in the bungalow next to mine is a whole other issue. She’s a decade older than me, hot as fire, and—like me—doesn’t seem to want anything but a good time. Until the day she wants more. And I want more. And things change.
And then they really change when my ten-year-old niece becomes an orphan. I would do anything at all for my big sister, including take care of her kid, so I jump into that role without question or apology—but also without knowing that it’s a dealbreaker for my budding relationship with my next door neighbor. Only living without her has quickly become something I don’t want to do…

This is a steamy, single-dad romance with a HEA. While it is part of a trilogy, it can be read as a standalone, but once you get a taste of life on Aurora Key with these sexy ex-SEALs, you’ll definitely want more…
It's a good story with some great character development. Some hot spices thrown in to keep it interesting, the writing style is smooth, and the editing professional. I really liked that the characters were struggling with their age gap, even though neither is willing to admit it.
