The Bastard Heir (Winter Harbor #1)
Whitley Cox
I'm the heir to a secret family fortune, facing down brothers I hate, and trying to get back the one that got away ... Eight years ago, she broke me. Her secrets drove a wedge between me and my brother that can never be fixed. Now, with my life in shambles, I’m forced by the ludicrous demands of my dead father to face the one woman I ever loved, and the brother I can not stand. I need the money. But a year is a long sentence to serve in a house with people I hate, and in a town that hates me. A year is a long time to dodge Harlow Jackson and the eyes and smile that made me fall harder than I’ve ever fallen before. But it only takes days to show me that what happened eight years ago was a mistake. Now I need every last second of the year ahead to convince her to take a second chance on us. This is the first book of the Winter Harbor series which features a quirky small town, secrets galore, and three estranged brothers who find the key to healing comes from the women who steal their hearts.

In a small town, everyone knows everyone's business. But Harlow didn't know that the man that broke her heart was about to inherit part of her hometown. And with the sparks between them still igniting their love for one another, it would be a long year trying to avoid each other in a town like Winter Harbor.
The first book in the Winter Harbor series was a great set up to introduce you to a new world you just want to go visit for a weekend getaway. Between the witty names of the local businesses and the characters that run them, you can't help but fall in love with Winter Harbor.
I especially loved the sizzling chemistry between Harlow and Callum. There was an undeniable attraction from the start that made it easy to fall in step with. The flow of the story itself also had a captivating hook by immersing you into the fictional town. And with secrets surfacing around the two love birds, it made it hard to put the book down.
The Bastard Heir takes you on a second chance love story that will have you wishing you were reading it while enjoying a coffee at The Grind. With swoon worthy smut scenes and a knack for banter, Whitley and Ember embody the term-contemporary romance. This smut loving reader can't wait to get her hands on the next book.
This book was given to me as a gift in exchange for an honest review.
0Harlow is on track for partner at her law firm, but the one case that will get her there is one she doesn't want as it means seeing the Winter Brothers again and Callum the eldest broke her heart eight years ago. Callum never expected to see Harlow again or his two brothers really, but his Dad who recently passed has forced his, Carson and Colton's hands to now only only see each other but spend a year together as well as deal with how things went down with Harlow 8 years ago. I loved how this wasn't just a second chance romance, but also a second chance for three brothers to actually become brother especially as they appear to know nothing of each other due to the distance they kept, you also get the mystery of why all of Winter Harbor literally hates the Winter family as well as mysteries and surprises the mansion has hidden within. I can not wait for the next book to get to know the Winter brothers more and find out what's next for them all not only with their love life but with connecting with the townsfolk!
