Gavin thought he had everything he needed to be happy. Running his small-town diner and raising three wild boys as a single father kept his hands busy and his heart full. But everything changes when a wide-eyed, skittish prey omega—knocks on Strange Brew’s back door.
Jules is homeless, terrified, and on the run. Pine Glen was never supposed to be his last stop—just another place to hide before moving on. But Gavin offers him a hot meal and a safe place to stay without expecting anything in return, and Jules can’t make himself leave.
When Jules unexpectedly goes into heat, the course of their lives is altered forever. For the first time, Jules feels safe and wanted. He’s finally happy, and Gavin is planning for a future he never expected—with a mate he never saw coming.
What began as an act of kindness grows into a love that feels like coming home. Too bad Jules’ past isn’t ready to let him go.

This book was ADORABLE! Homeless and hungry, Omega Jules goes to Strange Brew looking for food. Gavin gives the skittish young man food and eventually a safe place to rest. Their attraction grows stronger when Jules goes into unexpected heat and Gavin helps him through it.
I LOVED everyone in the strange family (including extended family). There was a bit of drama around 80% but it was REALLY quick. There is mention of a ‘Cest relationship and a pseudo- ‘cest relationship.

This book was so cute, sweet, spicy, everything you love from Odessa. Gavin is the kindest alpha you’ll meet with 3 sons that are hilarious. Jules is a sweet man that’s so scared. The kindness Gavin showed him warmed my heart. I loved these two together. And I loved the side characters. I hope we get more of them. Especially Altair and Baz.

This was just the sweetest thing ever, I don’t think I stopped smiling throughout most of it, aside from the @$$hats trying to do @$$hattery things but they get their comeuppance. I can’t wait for book two and (a solid maybe on 🤞) book three (and hopefully a certain side-character best-friend starts yapping Odessa’s ear off 🤞🙏).
Highly recommend.
