Mama Silverthorne has one more child to push towards her happy ending before walking into that bright light (or not, she'll decide when she gets there!). Mama, haunting the back of her old Buick, is worried about Kelly, her middle and most-self-sufficient child who has often been overshadowed by super-athlete Dean and rebellious youngest child Kate. Kelly is using Dean's wedding as an excuse to hang out in Deer Lick, Montana to lick her wounds after losing a big case. She's helping out at the Sugar Shack and reconnecting with herself and her family as she tries to reignite that passion for the law (or anything, for that matter). Mama wants her to kick "Sister Serious" to the curb and start having some fun.

More than eager to give Kelly's passion a jumpstart, Deputy James Harley hasn't stopped thinking about her since the night they spent together after Kate's wedding. Kelly would prefer to forget that embarrassing night but can't seem to control her attraction to the hot deputy. Plus, he's a good man who challenges her to find something that makes her happy. While James wants Kelly, he doesn't think he has much to offer given his past and the fact that he's raising his surly teenage brother. Will James and Kelly really be able to find their happiness together?

I've been a fan of the Sugar Shack series since book one and enjoyed the chance to revisit the small town of Deer Lick and its engaging inhabitants. SOMEBODY LIKE YOU is a nice addition the series that continues the story of the Silverthorne family. The banter between Kelly and James was entertaining—humorous and flirty. The burdens they each carry bring emotional depth to the story and genuine obstacles to their developing relationship. The one element I struggled with was Kelly's decision making about her career. Kelly's emotional crisis over losing one case didn't ring true for a successful Chicago persecutor. Maybe my perception that lawyers would have somewhat of a thick skin is off, but I just didn't feel like her decisions related to her career were adequately supported making hard for me to understand her motivations. That said, I have no doubt fans of the series will enjoy another trip to the Sugar Shack.

Book Summary

Welcome Back to the Sugar Shack Straitlaced . . .

Chicago prosecutor Kelly Silverthorne has a perfect record in the courtroom and a big fat zero in the bedroom. When she loses her first case ever, she returns home to Deer Lick, Montana, to regain her confidence and shake off the "Sister Serious" moniker she's been stuck with since childhood. Only a few hours into her repentance, karma thrusts her face-to-face with yet another of her major fiascos-a one-night stand with the hottest cop in the county.

Rebel with a Cause . . .

Deputy James Harley has always played with fire. When smart and sexy Kelly pops back into his life, he doesn't mind going for a full burn. And that might be exactly what happens when his past threatens to catch up with his future.

A Match Made in . . .

Heaven only knows what Kelly's dearly departed mom has planned from the other side-especially since she's already meddled in Kelly's siblings' love lives. But even heaven knows that when love comes knocking, there's no stopping the good things to come.
