Poppy Dennison's Family Ties!
BLURB
Every family has a story to tell…
Blake Bartlett needs a do-over, so he’s going back home to Havendale, Florida, with his three-year-old daughter in tow. The perfect life he built is in ruins and he’s determined to create a new one. The Bartletts are fixtures in the small town of Havendale, and Blake’s extended family welcome him back with open arms. He’s settling in and getting back in his family’s good graces, when he meets Lincoln Coleman. Suddenly, he’s starting to want things he shouldn’t, and their relationship is beginning to heat up.
Linc may have the reputation for being a one-night stand kind of guy, but the rumors aren’t quite right. When he meets Blake and his daughter, he imagines family life and settling down for the first time. There’s only one problem: Blake has taken on a leadership role in the Bartlett Construction business and now Linc works for the man he’s falling in love with.
Blake’s well-intentioned family may have them tied up in knots, but only they can untangle their heart strings...

REVIEW
My Rating - 5 Stars!
I love books that have big, close families, and Family Ties by Poppy Dennison has that in spades!
Blake and his daughter Caroline move back home after Blake lost his husband. There he runs into Link, who works for his family, and the sparks fly.
As their relationship develops, we get many sweet, touching and romantic moments. We also get some angst, as Link is afraid of dating someone who's related to his employer, not willing to risk his job.
This story is ultimately a story of family, both the importance of family and the benefits of being close to your family. It is well written, captivating, and splendid. The characters are ones you want to read more of, as you truly feel like one of the family.
Despite the angst, Family Ties is one of those books that you just want to drive back into and reread. Poppy Dennison also leaves us ready to dive into the next book in the Bartlett Boys series.
