One of the Stronger Books in the Series

 Down Home Cowboy by Maisey Yates 

Some of the topics covered in this book were harder to handle than in the previous books, but overall this book was one of the more enjoyable of the series. Cain, the oldest of the Donnolly brothers and Allison, the baker, (that his daughter works for) decide to have a physical only affair. Except it stops being only physical very quickly. He turns to her for help understanding his daughter since he's struggling and Violet seems to like and trust Allison. Along the way of learning how to communicate with his daughter, he learns how to get in touch with his emotions and how to communicate period. He falls for Allison and wants this to be real. And he lets her know. She breaks it off. Violet catches him coming home after being out all night and gives him a stern talking to, and she has already figured out that it was Allison and offers to quit her job in solidarity with him. Instead he makes her to to work, because that's life. She gets there and ends up being the voice of reason for Allison. Then, Allison has girls night and tells her friends she ended things and they say if you love him you're being dumb. She realizes everyone was right and goes to Cain and makes up. The epilogue is less than a year later because Violet still hasn't turned 17 and Cain and Allison are at their wedding. The three of them are happy together as a family. Oh, during the course of the book Allison works a wedding for characters that didn't get their own book, which was weird since we have met Madison West.  The break up to engagement was too fast, again. But otherwise, this was one of the stronger books in the series.
