Rita Clarkson hadn’t fully realized that taking a cross road trip with her siblings wouldn’t be as easy as planned especially when they found themselves on the side of the road with car troubles, it seemed like the beginning of a rocky start to their plans. Thankfully, with Jasper Ellis, bad boy extraordinaire was ever so kind to stop and help out the Clarkson’s. Trying to fulfill their mother’s last dying wish, the Clarkson siblings took on the journey to reach their destination and along the way they found more than they expected like in this book for instance, Rita and Jasper were curious about one another, and couldn’t help but imagine the possibilities lingering between them.

Moderate: Fire/Fire injury and Violence
Minor: Alcohol and Death of parent
As with Tessa's other books the sexual content is very explicit and is a constant throughout the entirety of the book and does typically involve cursing. The rest of the content warnings do contain minor spoilers:Spoiler
The book starts with main character looking upon her restaurant up in flames. The very same restaurant that had been her now-deceased mother's. The main character also reflects often on her time on a cooking competition show where she did threaten someone with a knife. Finally, the other MC owns a bar so alcohol does come up from time to time.ecravens's review against another edition
