When We Touch: An Enemies to Lovers Small Town Romance (The Heartbreak Brothers Book 5)

After reading the first four books in the Heartbreak Brothers series, I couldn’t wait to read ‘When We Touch’. This is another standalone, and the story of the only sister of the ‘Heartbreak Brothers’. And I was so curious about Becca Hartson’s story. So I started reading as soon as possible.

There’s a fine line between love and hate… and they’re about to cross it. Becca Hartson should be used to moody men by now. She grew up with four overprotective older brothers, after all. But nothing could prepare her for the hostility she encounters from her new boss – the annoyingly gorgeous Daniel Carter. Sure, his first impression of her was bad. She was in the arms of his brother, crying into his shirt. But the whole situation was purely platonic and Daniel knows that. It doesn’t stop him from scowling at her every time they work together. Or from sending her heart into a crazy spin. But if she wants to keep this job, she’ll have to grin and bear it. Coming back to work at his family’s distillery after six years away was a mistake. Daniel knows it from the moment his gaze clashes with Becca’s. With her tumbling waves and soft smile, he knows she’s trouble from the start. Daniel doesn’t believe in love. And he definitely doesn’t believe in falling for his employees. But when Becca looks at him with those sweet doe eyes, he keeps forgetting to hate her…

In ‘When We Touch’ we read the story of Becca, the only girl and the youngest of the Hartson kids.  Becca works at a Whiskey distillery and she loves her job. But when her well liked boss decides to move away, and give back the reins to his older brother Daniel Carter, Becca is afraid things will change. And they do. Although everyone always adores Becca, Daniel seems to hate her from the moment he laid eyes on her. And soon the feelings mutual. Daniel is a frustrating and infuriating guy. Or isn’t he?

Well.. I love this series and I’m sad to leave the Hartson siblings goodbye after this book, but boy was this the perfect ending to a great series! I knew I was going to like Becca’s character, since I already did the few moments I read about her in the previous books. But I didn’t expect to love her this much. Becca is definitely a great character. She is caring, hardworking and definitely knows how to stand up for herself. And although her brothers make her crazy at times, she does everything for them.

And then there is Daniel’s character. I really did love his character too. Sure, he can be an arrogant ass, and he is really unfair to Becca at times. But there was just something about him that I adored. And I loved reading about the moments between Becca and Daniel. Their chemistry was flying of the pages and they where just perfect together. And I couldn’t stop reading this book till the very last page.

Although I have loved and adored the other books in this series. ‘When We Touch’ definitely is my favorite of the series. I just loved everything about this book and I would really recommend it if you’re a romance reader. I can’t wait to read more books by Carrie Elks.
