Mai Tai'd Up is the first book in Clayton's series that I have read. It is Chloe and Lucas's story. It is full of references to the awesome mid-century house that Chloe's family owns--complete with tiki bar and a sound system that blasts Frank and Dean, which I LOVED.
The story begins with Chloe callling off her wedding, much to her mother's chagrin. She escapes to their family ranch in Monterey. While there, she rediscovers her true passion for rescuing unwanted/abused dogs. She turns the ranch into a pitbull rescue.
In the process, she meets Lucas: a local veterinarian who also happens to be hot! Lucas was left at the altar by his high school sweetheart, so both he and Chloe are reluctant to be anyone's "rebound". Thus, it takes a long time for these two to get beyond the flirting!
I enjoyed this book, although there was an element of predictability to it. I would recommend this book, especially if you have read Clayton's other books in the series. Cheers!
