Kickstarting a brand new series featuring the Hurley Brothers , Lauren Dane is taking her cocky bad boys and putting them into the small town of Hood River. Up first is Paddy Hurley, a known ladies man and a big-time rock star who can't forget the sweet yet sumptuous Natalie Clayton when he runs into her again after a fling they had years ago. Unwilling to let her leave him a second time, Paddy puts on his smooth moves, hoping that she notices but the last thing that Natalie wants is a wild ride. She wants peace and calmness in her life now.

Paddy comes off as very confident and persistent. These are two things that can make a hero unlikable if gone too far. There were times when I thought Dane would go a little bit overboard, but for the most part, Paddy stood a good middle ground with his rock star personality. Similarly, Dane tends to stick to her strong heroines. It has almost become a trademark style she had made for herself. While Natalie is a bit softer around the edges as a librarian, that doesn't mean she is shy or meek by any means. Dane tends to make her heroines very forward. They know what they want, so while I enjoyed Natalie, I also would have loved to see some variation in personality when it came to the characters from Dane.

If you're a longtime fan of Lauren Dane, you'll be thrilled to know that there are some familiar faces that make some cameos in this book. Dane also sets up the next books in the series wonderfully, enticing the reader, but not giving away too much.

THE BEST KIND OF TROUBLE is a great example of what Lauren Dane is known for -- strong family ties and confident characters with an extra touch of sexiness for good measure!
