A year worth of flirting comes down to this kiss...

Abel

I've eaten more tacos the past year than I have my entire life. It's not because I love those little handfuls of goodness (although I do). It's because of the woman who runs the local food truck Let's Taco Bout It. Seeing her makes my day, and while I can't admit my feelings, I can at least see her smile.

Until Halloween. When a man gives her attention she doesn't want, she pretends we're together, and lays a kiss on me that I'll never forget.

Kara

I've spent the last year watching the hottie in the constantly torn and dirty jeans eating shyly walking up to my food truck and ordering the same thing each time. I've done my best to drag him out of his shell, but nothing works until a night of unwanted attention forces me to make a move.

Now? He's hanging around even more, and when his husky voice calls me his girlfriend? I melt into a puddle, and he's the only one who can pick me up and put me back together again.

Abel is book two in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last.

I'm slightly nervous as I follow him into his kitchen. I gasp when I get a good look. His kitchen is my dream. Stainless steel appliances, cabinets painted a dark gray that almost pulls blue in the darkness coming through the back windows. White marble countertops are spotless and inviting. Contemporary lighting provides enough where it's needed, and softens where it isn't. "You have a pot filler," I gasp with jealousy.

He laughs. "I do. When Dad and I were designing this place, he said I'd appreciate it if I were ever going to make dinner often. Since I do, I use it all the time."

"You make dinner a lot?" I'm learning so much about him tonight.

"When I decided to buy this place and gut it, I didn't have a ton of money. Still repaying college loans too," he shrugs. "So while I do go out with my friends to the bar, I don't spend a ton as I'm paying down stuff. Dad helped me more than he should've, but he wasn't able to take care of everything. The amount of free labor and construction work he gave me for this place was well into the hundreds of thousands. My friends helped too, which is why they hang out here all the time when we aren't working or at Monroe's."

The scent of whatever we're going to eat permeates the room. "What else are you going to surprise me with tonight?" I tilt my head to the side.

"Hopefully everything you never imagined I would be."

Our eyes meet, and I get lost in the green depths of his. I've seen them in many different situations and they tend to change colors depending on what's happening. It runs the gamut from very light to dark, like the luscious floor of the rainforest. "I don't really know you at all do I?" My voice is quiet as I observe him. "Does anyone really know you?"

He scratches the back of his neck, ducking his head down. "There are very few people who do, and I prefer it that way.”

This is the second book in the series. They are better read in order. Abel is the son of Boone from the first book. The end of the first book set this book up. The begins shortly after the first one ends. Abel has liked Kara for a while. In fact, he has been visiting her Taco truck just about every day for the last year. Things came to a head on Halloween night. She kissed him and now the ball is in his court. Abel maybe messing things up by taking to long to make a move. But when he finally decides to make one, he is all in. Neither one has had a real relationship before. Kara learns there is more to Abel than meets the eye. They help each other in different ways. Abel is so supportive of Kara and everything she has done and wants to do. While Kara gives Abel the support he needs while things with his family are happening. This is a great sweet romance. I can’t wait to read more about the characters. This group of friends are more like family. They are there always there for each other. Boone is like the dad all these boys needed. Great job Laramie.
