Seattle, Washington – Present Day

One day Evan Griffith is helping his cousins at their business, Veteran Movers, when he encounters a group of sassy women. One in particular, Kenzie Sykes, intrigues him. Kenzie is singlehandedly raising her teenage brother and hasn't been in a relationship since her last boyfriend suddenly walked out on her. One can understand why she's apprehensive about dating again, especially with her first priority being her brother. Yet, sparks fly between Evan and Kenzie, and with a little push from their friends (and Kenzie's brother), they finally end up connecting. Evan is also approaching a relationship with her slowly, because he is still haunted by the death of his fiancée from cancer. Can two people still recovering from painful relationships in the past find a way to fall in love?

Kenzie and Evan are clearly attracted to each other, but they approach anything resembling a relationship between them with trepidation. Kenzie was with her ex for a long time and thought they'd be together forever. Then he inexplicably walked out on her, telling her that he could no longer have a third wheel in their relationship. But her brother is part of the package. Evan got off to a rocky start with Kenzie's brother at first, but they soon develop a friendship that is helped along by some mutual interests, like playing soccer. At first, Kenzie and Evan keep their friends around them as a buffer, but they then agree to see one another alone, which leads to sex. They think that it's only great sex between them, which later on leads to the realization that they have feelings for each other.

 HANDLE WITH CARE is the third (and presumably last) book in the Veteran Movers series about some military vets who get together to form a company as movers in Seattle. Evan is a veteran but left that all behind to go into accounting. After working for a big firm in Seattle, he finally felt burned out and quit. He freelances on the side now, along with doing the financials for Veteran Movers. He offers to help Kenzie get her financial paperwork in order, which leads to them working together. Even as they connect, there are hiccups in their relationship due to their fears of being hurt again. Will they finally tear down the barriers they've erected to find a happily-ever-after? A sexy, fun romance between a couple falling in love after experiencing heartbreak. Don't miss the enjoyable HANDLE WITH CARE.
