Stronghold by Ana Ashley is now available!

About the Book:

The last place Judson wants to be is back home in Burlington, living with his mother. Not so long ago he was a world-class chef with the lifestyle to prove it. Now he’s serving drinks and flying under the radar until he can get the hell out again. But when his childhood best friend reenters his life, looking finer than any entree at a Michelin five-star restaurant, he wonders if it’s time to update his menu of life choices.

Working through past wounds with Skyler won’t be easy, though--especially with a reality-show television camera following (not quite) their every move. When their loyalty is tested, will their newly built stronghold be sturdy enough to withstand the storm?

Stronghold is a sweet and sexy romance for childhood friends to lovers, with some creative use of maple syrup and a TV crew determined to keep appearing out of nowhere.

My Review:

Judson and Sky were friends since childhood, then they became high school seniors and had a major falling out. Judson has been in Paris as a chef for the last 10 years, but now he's back working as a bartender and trying to find a way back out of town. Jud doesn't want to reconcile with Sky, but he's one that he can't seem to shake.

Skyler is running a maple farm, and still heartbroken from Jud's absence. These two have a second chance and not only restoring their friendship, but their relationship.

Overall a good story, and a HEA between these two.
