Rock Bottom, a standalone romance in the Dawson Family

author Emily Goodwin, is LIVE!
Rory’s life is a mess. After getting dumped by her
boyfriend, let go from her job, and losing her apartment, she takes a chance on
a new job in a new town. Things can’t get any worse, right?
Wrong.
When the foundation of Dean Dawson’s life crumbles to pieces
at his feet, he swears off relationships of any kind and goes back to a life of
bachelorhood, loving and leaving different women every night.
After dodging what could possibly be the world’s worst blind
date, Rory finds herself face to face with Dean—a temptation she knows she
should avoid. It’s just one night, and there’s no harm in having a little fun.
Wrong again.
They say when you hit rock bottom the only way to go is up,
but nothing is ever that simple.
Louise's Review
Rock Bottom is book 6 in the Dawson Family series and can be read as a standalone. Having only read books 1-3 I was worried I would miss something but I didn’t, but keeping up with this huge family makes me want to take notes.
Dean knows everything hasn’t been perfect for a while, when he tries to make the situation better, he finds the cold hard truth. After agreeing too be set up on 3 blind dates to finally get his family to stop pestering him his 3rd and final date cancel’s he finds himself face to face with a gorgeous woman. Rory wants just one-night, fake name and background she finds herself wanting to come clean.
Can they have their 2nd chance at love or will the lies from the beginning ruin everything?
I personally enjoyed reading this book, knowing some of the previous characters it was great to catch up with them. I am going to go back and read books 4 & 5 to complete the series.

Excerpt:
“Must be nice to have family members who own a bar and a
bakery.” I inch a little closer. “My brother owns his own vet clinic. I get a
family discount on wormer.”
Dean laughs, and it rumbles right through me. I don’t think
I’ve ever heard a laugh I can describe as sexy before, but everything about
this man is turning me on.
“It is nice getting free food and drinks.”
“I bet. Though I’d probably weigh five hundred pounds after
a month of all that free food.”
Dean grabs a menu and hands it to me. “The house pretzel
with cheese is better than the fries.”
“That does sound good. It’s not too late to order food?”
He shakes his head. “The kitchen is open until ten.”
“Good. I feel bad when it’s way too close to closing time.”
“That’s very considerate of you.”
“I worked in retail in college.” I give the menu one more
glance and decide on the soft pretzel and cheese. “It was irritating when
people came in right before closing.”
“I try not to go anywhere if it’s within fifteen minutes of
closing, unless it’s my sister-in-law’s bakery. Then I’ll go in a minute before
and order whatever takes the longest to make.”
I laugh and meet his eyes, feeling another rush of heat go
through me.
“I’m kidding,” he says. “And she’d probably tell me to get
the fuck out anyway.”
“Oh, I would too.”
“So…where did you go to college?”
Shit. I have no idea of the names of any Canadian colleges.
“The, uh, Central University of…of…” Canada is divided into territories, right?
“…of the Northern Territory.”
“Never heard of it,” he says right as I realize my so-called
college would be abbreviated to CUNT.
Oh my fucking gosh. If I were to drop dead right now, the
universe would probably be doing me a favor.
“It’s a small school. Private too. And girls only.” Just
pick up the shovel, Rory, you’re doing a good job digging yourself a hole to
crawl in. “Do you come here often?” I blurt, needing to change the subject.
“If I say yes it makes me sound pathetic, but since my
brothers own the place, we all come here to hang out.”
I smile. “It’s nice you like being with your brothers.”
“They can be assholes, but for the most part, they’re good
guys,” he laughs. “And the free food and drinks don’t hurt.”
I feel my phone vibrating with a text. “Excuse me,” I say as
I dig it out of my little purse. It’s Lennon, reminding me not to leave my
drink on the bar when I turn away.
“That wouldn’t be your boyfriend, would it?” Dean asks,
doing a good job of looking not too interested as he makes sure I’m single.
“No, it’s my cousin.” I quickly reply that I’m always
careful and put my phone back done. “And I’m guessing you don’t have one
either?”
“A boyfriend?” Dean gives me a smartass smirk. “Not at the
moment.” He finishes his drink and moves his stool a little closer when a new
song comes on, base loudly thumping around us.
