She's a small-town boutique owner. He's a world-famous former MMA champion. They're both wary of relationships, but the attraction between them is undeniable. When someone threatens the life he's built, everyone he loves becomes a target...

Fresh out of a messy divorce, Poppy Walker is determined to stay strong and grow her business, Rainy Day Boutique. But while her twin sons are thriving during their first year away at college, she’s all alone for the first time in years, fighting to hide the internal scars from her failed marriage. The last thing on her mind is dating…but a certain local celebrity athlete is determined to win her over.

Cade de la Rosa is riding high as one of the top mixed martial arts coaches in the world, and he’s more than happy to focus all his attention on his gym and fighters. His fame and fortune taught him the hard way that trust is a rare thing, so he’s avoided relationships for years, keeping his flings brief and casual. That’s why his endless fascination with the pretty and sassy boutique owner is the last thing he expects.

Drawn together by a series of perilous events, Poppy and Cade quickly go from acquaintances to friends. As their magnetic connection lures them closer and their chemistry proves explosive, an unseen enemy puts everything at risk. Will their relationship survive the danger? Or will it get cut short by the person who wants to destroy everything—and everyone—Cade holds dear?

Shattered Dreams is the third book in the Hudson Island series.  This one is Poppy and Cade's story.  It definitely can be read as a stand alone book.  I really enjoyed this one.  Cade and Poppy were so adorable.  I loved how Cade made Poppy feel beautiful and desired.  She really deserved to finally feel all of that.  I also loved how her twins interreacted with Cade and how protective they were of their mom.  It was very sweet.  The mystery and the action was pretty intense and it made me want to keep reading.  I am loving this series and I can't wait for the next book.
