BLURB:

When Navy pilot Ryder Westbrook is shot down, his only thought is making it home—to the place he left behind a long time ago. But dreaming about the small town of Eagle's Ridge and going back are two very different things, and upon arrival Ryder finds himself in the middle of another battlefield—an old family feud between the Westbrooks and the Tuckers. To complicate matters, he needs disputed land to start his second career at the local airfield. He decides to enlist the help of beautiful Bailey Tucker, but the chef soon has his senses spinning in another direction…

The last person Bailey is interested in helping is golden boy Ryder Westbrook. After a painful personal betrayal, irresistible attraction to another man, who is probably too good to be true, seems like a terrible idea. But she also needs something from the Westbrooks, a chance to start over and build the restaurant of her dreams.

Ryder and Bailey make a simple plan—work together to get what they both want, but what happens when they find out what they really want is each other?

This book was the perfect introduction to the series. Author, Barbara Freethy introduces us to the seven soldiers without sounding like a attendance roster. The first thing I noticed about the cover (after reading the story) is that the models portray the characters accurately. Bailey Tucker has long blond hair that she often pulls into a pony tail before she starts anything in the kitchen... a trait my mom taught me at a very early age and to this day I hate my hair down around my face!  Ryder Westbrook is all male with that perfect jaw line and eyes that will melt you like butter on the spot.

Ryder & Bailey's story is a modern day Hatfield & McCoy's/ Romeo & Juliett that you can't put down. Trust me, I know. I read this book from start to finish! I think my eyes would have been less tired if I'd had a printed copy but then I might have put the hard copy down at some point. I this case, the finger-swipe was the way to go. 

If this book is precursor to what the remaining six books have in store - or any other books by these talented authors, I'm in for lots of reading time and tired eyes.

I'm giving RYDER:
