Vince Morrison, known to most people as Van.

Good with his hands, be it crafting a piece of wood, playing his guitar, or pleasing a lover—he excels at them all.

Friendly, flirty, and talented, he’s cool under pressure, and hot everywhere else.

But he keeps his heart closed, even as his interest and emotions are tested.

Olivia Rourke works alongside him at BAM.

Talented, private, and intriguing, she touches something inside him he can’t deny.

He wants to know her. In every possible way.

He wants her to know him.

Her past tells her to stay clear. Van is everything that she wants, and exactly what she cannot have. She has someone else to think of who is more important.

Can either of them risk their hearts?

Van by Melanie Moreland was such a fun and entertaining read! Please note though it is part of a series (one I adore) it is easily read stand alone.

This workplace setting love story between Olivia Rourke and Vince “Van” Morrison kept me engaged and so happy I was able to read uninterpreted on a plane 🛩 flight.

There is really for me nothing better than being able to escape into a great read while sitting in the small space that is a coach seat.

Olivia is hesitate of her attraction to Van for good reason first they work together but more importantly, she is a single mom. I am going to stop and say this part of the story was so WOW for me! The use of Olivia’s daughter, Sammy was so well done.

I adored Van… he was such an easy man to love, he is compassionate kind and is very clear in what he wants, he wants Olivia and everything that comes with being with a single mom.

The interactions between Sammy who Van nicknamed “Mouse” and Van grabbed ahold of my heart. These scenes highlights such a touching side to his character and well added to my love of him! I mean who doesn’t love a man covered in glitter.

Van and Moose together took this book to a whole other level, some really heartwarming and touching scenes.

The way Olivia’s past steps backs into her present and the employees, well really family of BAM pull together to make things right brought the biggest smile to my face!

The epilogue oh the epilogue… the happy this family creates for itself is so perfect for THEM!
