You're the One: Bad Boys of Red Hook Kindle Edition

Award-winning author Robin Kaye proves that home is where the heart is, even for a bad boy from Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Logan Blaise expected to be taking a quick break from his successful vineyard in Napa to visit his hometown of Brooklyn. But what he finds is a complete mess: His father is sicker than he’d imagined, and Logan is responsible for keeping the family restaurant running smoothly. When the chef quits, he’s forced to hire the first person who applies for the job—Skye Maxwell, a beautiful enigma with great skills and gaps in her résumé.

Skye is determined to make it on her own, without trading on her famous family name. Working in the community of Red Hook offers the perfect opportunity to stay out of the limelight while pursuing her dreams. At first glance, charismatic Logan seems exactly like all the shallow men she knew back home. But as she notices his small-town roots and strong family ties, the Brooklyn bad boy and his restaurant start to feel exactly like where she really belongs....

From Booklist

*Starred Review* When each of Skye Maxwell’s three brothers reaches the age of 30, their father gives them their own restaurants. When Skye reaches this magic age, her dad merely promotes her to business manager. Enraged by the unequal treatment and sexist reasoning behind his decision, Skye leaves for New York without letting her family know where she’s going, and gets a job as a head chef in Red Hook. Much to her surprise, she’s working for famous Napa Valley winemaker Logan Blaise, who has come home to take care of the family restaurant while his father recuperates from heart problems. Logan doesn’t know what to make of this beautiful, talented, mysterious chef. But what Logan does know is that he’s very attracted to her. Readers will also fall for the spunky Skye, and Kaye’s luscious descriptions of food and chef menus are a great touch as she continues her engaging Bad Boys of Red Hook series (Hometown Girl and Back to You, both 2012). --Shelley Mosley

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this book. I have always loved Robin Kaye's books since the beginning. This one went above and beyond my expectations. The chemistry between Logan and Skye was amazing. The book picks up right where Back to You ends seamlessly. Pete Callahan is a force to be reckoned with, but he has a heart of gold. The whole crazy family makes you love them from the very first book in this series. The way the author describes things almost made me wet myself. I know my family thinks I am crazy. One minute I am snickering, the next I am laughing hysterically, then crying, quite a bit of swooning and right back to laughing again.
It has humor, sex, romance, conflict and all around good story lines.
The collection of characters all have totally different personalities and it makes for such a fun read. I am so excited for the next one to come out.
The bad part...... I am done with it and will have to go back and read it again ;)
Keep 'em coming Robin Kaye!
One more word.....Pepperoni. Once you read the book, you'll know why that word makes me smile every time I hear it now :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Could have been 5 stars, but wanted to shake Skye sometimes!!!

Skye is a 30 year old woman that is wanting to have her own kitchen/restaurant. She is a talented chef and takes the leap from California to NY. She lands in the restaurant being temporarily managed by a sexy Logan. Logan is based out of CA, but is temporarily in NY managing his family's restaurant until his brother returns from his honeymoon and his father is recovering from an illness.
So sparks fly between the two and it is a romance from there!

The first 70% of the book is awesome. The attraction b/w the two is great. The dialogue and plot is fun. They seem like a real couple that would truly be attracted to each other. The cooking sounds amazing and their similar interests make you root for them to end up together.

When they finally end up in bed together (yes, the scenes are Hot) - the reader is excited for them, as a couple, to take the next step. Going out as a couple, making plans together, etc.
But Skye puts the kibash on it all. Her insecurities comes out, she starts to keep her feelings bottled up and she jumps to conclusions. Ugh. I hate that. Here is a guy that had a seriously difficult childhood, but is willing to throw all that darkness away to trust her and start fresh. She has had a privileged upbringing and is afraid to have a relationship with him? He has an AMAZING family - done NOTHING to make you not trust him nor worry about him cheating on you. Yes - they have known each other for a short time, but that guy has been nothing but a sweetheart to his dad, sister, staff, etc.
So her lack of trust in him was annoying and frustrating.

I think the author wanted us to fear the end of their relationship at one point towards the end of the book. I was just annoyed with Skye. I had books that have one of the main characters run away because they are hurt - it is SOOOO frustrating and annoying. So hence, the 4 stars, not 5.

The other characters are great. You have the BFF, Kelly who will slap someone for her BFF. The two nosy nellies at the restaurant, they do not make excuses for who they are. Love it.
The loving, but cop-like father who raised 3 boys (foster children) and turned their lives around.
The new addition, a 10-year old sister that is wise and perceptive beyond her years.
The dogs.
I even loved the villain, Peyton. We love to hate beautiful, rich, skinny, pretentious women. Bring it on!
The Jag (okay, only had a few sentences in the book, but...heavy sigh...the car sounded beautiful)

There is a HEA, no cliffhanger, this book can be read as a stand alone, and there is a nice epilogue.
So except for 15% of the book where I wanted to throttle Skye, I really enjoy the flow of this book. Easy story, easy to read, fun characters - you get immersed into it pretty easily. A light book. But still fun to read.

Enjoy!
(I am going to check out the other books written by this author now...)

This being the first in the Bad Boys of Red Hook, I was kind of leery. Bad boys? O-k-a-a-y, but the author is Robin Kaye and I generally like her writing. Since I really didn't have another book, I went for it.

Boy was I glad I did. This book, being the first in a series of three, grabbed my attention immediately. I realized the hero, Logan Blaise, had escaped a bad neighbourhood of Red Hook. Not totally unscathed but ready to meet his obligation to his ailing father regardless of his other occupation. The book proceeds to grab the reader quickly and decisively. All the characters are believable, amusing and sometimes hilarious. I loved them all... well except for the snobby plastic heiress. Pop, the sick cigar smoking beer drinking father; Nicki, Logan's niece; Skye the chef and love interest; and even Pepperoni, the shoe chewing dog. I loved them all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love, family, community & a little drama
Reviewed in Canada on September 1, 2013

This is the second in a series set in the New York community of Red Hook, a little "village" that is just as much a character in the book as the people. At it's heart is Pete, a retired police officer who has taken in foster kids for years. His three boys are now grown & were strewn across the country, leaving him with Nicki, a 10 year old girl who is a recent addition to the collection of characters who work & populate his bar.
Pete is the guy who everyone relies on....'til he has a massive heart attack. It scared the crap out of his family & friends and one by one, the boys are returning to help out at the bar as he recuperates. Logan fled the area years ago and went from juvenile delinquent (and amateur bomber) to successful vintner in the Napa Valley. There, he is not only taking over a family run vineyard but engaged to the boss' daughter. When his brother gets married & leaves on his honeymoon, Logan returns to run the bar. He is now a polished business & has never told his fiancee, Payton, of his humble childhood in foster care.
Skye grew up in privilege in California, part of a wealthy family of restaurant owners. She shuns all the society functions and just wants a restaurant of her own where she can be queen of the kitchen but her brothers have other plans for. Frustrated, she chucks it all & runs away to New York to prove herself as a chef without using her famous last name. Fate leads her by Pete's restaurant where a help wanted sign for a chef has just gone up. In short order, she has a job, a place to stay and a rambunctious pug dog to babysit. She is also immediately surrounded by all the odd characters who inhabit the neighbourhood & believe her business is their business.
What follows is the story of Logan & Skye's relationship. In a way, they are both hiding. Logan never doubted his choices until he came back. Slowly, he starts to question who he really is & what he wants. Skye is drawn to him & his odd "family" of misfits but struggles to keep her identity a secret. I liked that she is not a wimpy, whinging damsel waiting for the guy in shiny armour.
This a light, quick read full of hot romance, family drama & what it means to belong. The peripheral characters are funny, warm, eccentric & pushy.....just like family. Good luck if you want to keep a secret. The author does a good job of creating the atmosphere of the neighbourhood & portraying the influence your roots have on you, no matter how far you travel. Sometimes, who you consider to be family has nothing to do with blood.

My copy of the book certainly contained 'speech tags' I am not sure why the other reviewers copy was missing them.

Enjoyable book from an author who always delivers. I have downloaded (and paid) for all her books apart from the first book, Romeo Romeo which I downloaded for free.

Great characters, good plot and just enough of a hint of who the next book might be about!!

Some explicit scenes as always but never crude and in keeping with the main two characters
