from the author's site: 

Skye Titan’s wealthy father thinks he can still dictate his daughter’s choice in men.  Now widowed and a single mother, Skye isn’t the yes-girl she once was.  Especially since the love of her life is back in Texas after eight long years.  He won’t like the answers to the questions he’s asking.  About why she left him at the altar.  And about her eight-year-old daughter.

Former Navy SEAL Mitch Cassidy comes home to find nearly everything different.  His wounds from battle have changed the way people treat him.  His cattle ranch is suddenly organic.  But time hasn’t touched his desire for Skye—or the sting of her betrayal.  Forget lip service.  He’s asking that luscious mouth of hers to reveal the truth.  But will Mitch be able to put the past aside to help Skye get out from under her father’s thumb… and help himself recover from a broken heart?

my thoughts: 

LIP SERVICE is a great read about reunited lovers. This is the first book I've read by Susan Mallery but I'll definitely be reading about the rest of the Titan sisters, starting with book 1 since I accidentally skipped over that one. 

It was obvious from the beginning that Mitch and Skye were just plain meant to be. It just took them a while to get it. Both characters had a lot of issues to work through before they could be together. Seeing them work through it all was a big part of their story and makes it all worth it in the end. 

There are so many great relationships in LIP SERVICE aside from Skye and Mitch: Skye and her daughter Erin, Mitch and Fidela and Arturo, Skye and her sisters, Lexi and Izzy. At its heart LIP SERVICE is a story about family and it's a family I want to visit again. 

Check it out for yourself and be sure to check out the other stories too: UNDER HER SKIN, STRAIGHT FROM THE HIP, and HOT ON HER HEELS.
