Summary
Have you ever had a truth bomb dropped on you—one so big， it blew up your life…in the best possible way？ Yeah。 Me， too。
Everything in my life has gone exactly as I’d planned it。 I graduated college， moved back to my hometown， and opened my own business。 The Sly Fox is a thriving hotspot in the small town of Rebel， Idaho。 I’m close to my family， my best friend just moved back to town， and I’ve never been happier。
I am literally living the dream。 It can’t possibly get any better than this。
At least， that’s what I thought until a certain midnight-haired beauty walked into my bar and asked for a job。
Mila Cabrera is even more gorgeous now than she was in high school， where I’d spent all four years secretly crushing on her。 Now， she’s back in my life， and I’m having a hard time keeping things strictly professional。
I want her， but she gets strangely nervous around me。 Quiet。 Guarded。 And the more I break through her tough outer shell to get to know her， the more I want to know。 I like her。 A lot。
But turns out， she has a secret。 And when the truth is revealed， nothing will ever be the same。

I know this is a silly thing， but I love Fox as a character name。 LOL Anyway， this is my favorite in this series so far。 Fox and Mila have crushed on each other forever， but neither could tell the other one。 Then guess who ends up working at the “Sly Fox” （the bar that Fox owns）？ Mila does！ See why I love that name？Needless to say， their attraction to each never diminished so they have to navigate being so near each other while staying apart。 This is funny and steamy like other other book in the I know this is a silly thing， but I love Fox as a character name。 LOL Anyway， this is my favorite in this series so far。 Fox and Mila have crushed on each other forever， but neither could tell the other one。 Then guess who ends up working at the “Sly Fox” （the bar that Fox owns）？ Mila does！ See why I love that name？Needless to say， their attraction to each never diminished so they have to navigate being so near each other while staying apart。 This is funny and steamy like other other book in the series， so it’s a fun read。 Be sure to check the content warnings。 。。。more

Fox and Mila are adorable together！ I really enjoyed this story， and do like how Piper put in the additional scenes of what happened between them in the past， to give some context to the story and why things are the way that they are now。 There's a little bit of miscommunication between the pair at first， but once she starts to open up to him， to allow him to get back into her heart， things really start to heat up。 This book was a good read for me and I can't wait to see what happens next in the Fox and Mila are adorable together！ I really enjoyed this story， and do like how Piper put in the additional scenes of what happened between them in the past， to give some context to the story and why things are the way that they are now。 There's a little bit of miscommunication between the pair at first， but once she starts to open up to him， to allow him to get back into her heart， things really start to heat up。 This book was a good read for me and I can't wait to see what happens next in the series！！ 。。。more

It was a night Fox will never remember， it was a night Mila will never forget！ Fox Myers has been crushing on Mila Cabrera for forever， well。。。since the ninth grade。 Perfect， intelligent Mila was always out of his league or so he thought。 Now working for him at his bar， he finds the urge to get to know her， to want more from her nearly impossible to resist。 Too bad Mila knows something that will change the course of their lives forever。 Mila thought the night spent with Fox was a dream come true It was a night Fox will never remember， it was a night Mila will never forget！ Fox Myers has been crushing on Mila Cabrera for forever， well。。。since the ninth grade。 Perfect， intelligent Mila was always out of his league or so he thought。 Now working for him at his bar， he finds the urge to get to know her， to want more from her nearly impossible to resist。 Too bad Mila knows something that will change the course of their lives forever。 Mila thought the night spent with Fox was a dream come true。 Then consequences from that night arrived and she was alone。 She made a choice and now she has to live with it as she fights the urge to let him back inside。 He can't remember their night together and she will never forget it， how can these two work it out？ Beautifully， of course。 This is one of my favorites。 Mila is a sassy single mother， Fox is endearingly clueless， Poppy is freaking adorable。 Pick up your dose of Seratonin today！ 。。。more

This is book 2 in the Rebel Rendezvous series and it follows Fox and Mila！ Make sure you read the trigger warnings before reading！ I really enjoyed reading Fox’s character in book 1 and I’m so happy he got his own book！Fox crushed on Mila。 Mila crushed on Fox。 Unfortunately neither of them knew how the other felt in high school。 After their paths crossed at a college party， one thing led to another and they both *danced* together that night。 Fast forward to 3 years later， Mila now works for Fox This is book 2 in the Rebel Rendezvous series and it follows Fox and Mila！ Make sure you read the trigger warnings before reading！ I really enjoyed reading Fox’s character in book 1 and I’m so happy he got his own book！Fox crushed on Mila。 Mila crushed on Fox。 Unfortunately neither of them knew how the other felt in high school。 After their paths crossed at a college party， one thing led to another and they both *danced* together that night。 Fast forward to 3 years later， Mila now works for Fox at his bar。 He’s working up the courage to ask her out while she’s determined to keep him at arm’s length！ When Fox finally wears her down and she stops fighting her growing attraction， things get really steamy！！I loved the storyline of this book， it moved at a really nice fast pace without feeling rushed！ Both of these characters are so considerate of each other’s feelings and expectations。 I also enjoyed how they were comfortable voicing their desires without turning it into a mind-numbing “will they won’t they” situation！ If you enjoy a sweet romance that packs some heat， definitely grab this book！ 。。。more

ARC reviewMila and Fox were made for each other， even if they had to take a bumpy path to get there。 Each of them has been hurt by the other， and in some cases they haven’t even realized it。 This was a sweet read that dealt with some serious subjects with great spice mixed in。 I liked the balance between the two and that they ultimately communicated through their complicated issues and got their HEA。 I also loved seeing glimpses of our happy couple from the previous book。 Can’t wait to see what’ ARC reviewMila and Fox were made for each other， even if they had to take a bumpy path to get there。 Each of them has been hurt by the other， and in some cases they haven’t even realized it。 This was a sweet read that dealt with some serious subjects with great spice mixed in。 I liked the balance between the two and that they ultimately communicated through their complicated issues and got their HEA。 I also loved seeing glimpses of our happy couple from the previous book。 Can’t wait to see what’s next in this series！ 。。。more

This is Mila and Fox’s story， the 2nd book in the Rebel Rendezvous series。 I loved the emotion in the book; from the untold childhood crushes， to the raw love and pain these two experience together from college through adulthood。 The frustration I felt reading and yelling at the pages while trying to manipulate the characters into doing what I wanted was real 😅 It was a page turner， for sure。 As always this ended with a really really REALLY good HEA。 Highly recommend everything by Piper James！

Fox & MilaPiper James has done it again！ I was pulled right into Fox and Mila’s story and couldn’t put it down。 Emotionally invested - this story just really grabbed me and wouldn’t let go。 And yet always with the humor。 Such an amazing mix。 Loved it！

The story of Mila and Fox will keep you hooked the second you find out why Mila has up so many walls and is very guarded。 However this doesn’t deter Fox as he cautiously trying to get Mila to let him break those walls。 You will get to watch their story unfold with humor，some sadness and of course spice ！

This is the second book in the Rebel Rendezvous series。 And I loved it。 And i was hooked from the beginning。 I just love all the characters that this author creates。 They are all so likable， and real。 Mila and Fox both are attracted to each other， but afraid to tell the other person。 When she comes into his bar for a job， sparks fly， and you are left wondering how long they will be able to keep their hands to them selves。 This book was funny， and heartwarming， and had all the spice。 Definitely r This is the second book in the Rebel Rendezvous series。 And I loved it。 And i was hooked from the beginning。 I just love all the characters that this author creates。 They are all so likable， and real。 Mila and Fox both are attracted to each other， but afraid to tell the other person。 When she comes into his bar for a job， sparks fly， and you are left wondering how long they will be able to keep their hands to them selves。 This book was funny， and heartwarming， and had all the spice。 Definitely recommend it， and any book by this author。 。。。more
