There's not an athlete alive who can match Will's drive and self-discipline...until an adorable two year old and a fiery chef land on his doorstep and turn his life upside down. If he wants to keep his girls, he's going to have to learn to lead with his heart and not his mind.
Will Bowie is supposed to be training for the Olympics, but the toddler unexpectedly dropped into his life isn't interested in his schedules. Still, he's pretty sure he's got things under control...
...until a sexy chef lands on his doorstep and offers a temptation he can't resist.
Hours after losing her restaurant, chef Delilah Lua enters a cooking competition thousands of miles away from home. Winning would resurrect the dream that's been stolen from her. If--no, when--she wins, she'll go back with the capital to open her own place and enough fame to do it with flair. Her roommate, though, is a delicious surprise she hadn't anticipated...
...but she's not sure how to have her cake and eat it, too.
Despite the undeniable sparks in the kitchen, Will's not about to give his heart to a woman who's leaving, and Delilah must decide if the delectable future she could cook up with Will is worth more than a childhood dream.

She pushed off the counter and wrapped her arms around him. “Will,” she whispered.
He didn’t know what to do with all her softness and warmth and…and…sweetness. She was just too much for him. He wanted to push her away, tell her he was fine, to go make her pancakes or whatever she was making. But he couldn’t. He just couldn’t let her go.
Instead of reading his body language, his impulsive houseguest hugged him tighter, her hands caressing his back.
It unnerved him. And, oh, damn, that telltale tingling at the base of his spine meant he was getting aroused.
He breathed in the scent of her shampoo—like an expensive perfume—and felt the swish of her silky hair on his bare arms.
She gazed up at him with a look in her eyes that burned through whatever was left of his discipline, because he knew that just one lick of her lips would make him lose it completely.
His arms hooked around her back, his hand pressing the top swell of her bottom. That mouth, wet from her tongue, parted with an invitation he didn’t know if he could resist.
“You’re a good man, Will. Misguided, but good.”
“Misguided?”
That sexy mouth turned into a mischievous grin. “Yeah. You really are.” And then the connection snapped when she withdrew her arms and turned back to the counter. “I’ll see about finding somewhere else to stay in the morning.”
“Delilah?”
When she turned to him, he knew. He didn’t want to let her go.
“All the chefs are staying on the ranch, so they can take the train into Owl Hoot. The choice is yours, obviously, where you want to live, but the invitation is still open for you to stay here.”
Will wasn’t a stupid man. He knew something good when he saw it. And Delilah Lua was a gift. She brought a lightness and joy to this house it’d never had.
And, even if it was only for six weeks, he and Ruby would damn well take all she had to offer.

Book 2
My The Heartless Boyfriend Review . . .
It has been quite awhile since I've read anything from Erika Kelly, so when I heard about this I jumped at the chance to read and review it. However, as I started to read it, I felt like I was missing a whole bunch of the background. That is when I realized that this is book 2 within a series. I then quickly put this book down and dove into The World's First Boyfriend, book1. After reading this I found it much easier to get into the story line.
I believe it is set up that you can pick up this book and read it without book 1. And technically you can, but you may feel some things are missing. It was much more enjoyable after reading book 1 first.
This Bowie brothers are something else. They are all successful athletes as well as loyal loving brothers with hearts of gold. They were all also very single until Finn got his heart back and this time around it was Will to find his heart.
In The World's Worst Boyfriend, the story focuses around Finn and Calliope. This is where we first hear of Delilah, whom is Calli's best friend. Delilah is needing a break from the disappointment of her life and ends up landing at Will's house. Here she meets Will and his very adorable sister Ruby.
Will is about structure, planning and success. These are all things that have helped him survive the aftermath of a brutal heartless mother. Most of us have some sort of mommy issues, and Will is no exception.
Will likes predictability and Delilah and Ruby are the two least predictable things to come into his life, and also the reason he fell so far for both of them.
As Will starts to open up his heart to possibilities besides skiing, he also starts to conquer his past issues and find the love he always deserved.
We don't always find love in the right place or time, but when it comes knocking we should keep the possibility open.
I adore these Bowie men and can't wait for more from this series and this author. Will and Delilah's story was sweet and uplifting. And I absolutely adored Ruby and thought she was portrayed brilliantly. I loved Delilah's passion, openness and loving compassionate ways. She was the perfect match for Will.

About Erika Kelly:
Award-winning author Erika Kelly has been spinning romantic tales all her life--she just didn't know it. Raised on the classics, she didn't discover romantic fiction until later in life. From that moment on, she's been devouring the genre and has found her true voice as an author. Over three decades she's written poems, screenplays, plays, short stories, and all kinds of women's fiction novels. Married to the love of her life and raising four children, she's lived in two countries and seven states, but give her pen and paper, a stack of good books, and a steaming mug of vanilla chai latte and she can make her home anywhere.
