How many times can you be unlucky in love before you decide it’s not luck, it’s you?
This was a sweet, sexy, and satisfying read perfect for fans of single parent romances and swoony love stories!!
With her ex-groom’s words, I’m in love with someone else, still ringing in her ears, Clare Franklin flies off alone to her would-be honeymoon. Forced to accept not everyone gets that happily ever after she’s always dreamed of, she’s done with men. Until she gets tangled up, quite literally, with one sexy veterinarian.
The only thing Dr Deacon Montgomery wants is to share his surgical expertise and get back to his two year old twin daughters. But, the connection he feels with Clare highlights just how alone he really is and makes him wonder if he can be more than doctor and daddy.
Long talks and moonlit walks under the rustle of palms has Clare thinking maybe she gave up on love too soon. Until one phone call from home changes everything…
For their own separate reasons, both Clare and Deacon had given up the dream of a lifelong love and a partner to share a family with. While Deacon did have a beautiful set of twin daughters, their mother had never been in the picture and his girls were his whole world so it didn’t leave him time or energy for dating and besides, he devoted his every waking hour to caring for his kids so they were his top priority in every way. On the other side of the line, Clare’s marriage was over before it had even begun when her groom left her minutes before she was supposed to walk down the aisle to him.
In an effort to escape the mess of her non-marriage, Clare decided to go on her non-honeymoon by herself and at least reap the benefits of the sun and beach. Deacon was there for a work conference and it was there that their paths crossed. With only a few days at the resort in front of them, they were both wary about letting loose, but incredibly drawn to each other.
When they finally gave in to their passion, their connection was something neither of them had felt before but unexpected phone call changed everything and a few weeks later, an even more unexpected surprise changed both their lives forever…
This is the kind of swoony, heart-warming read that you can just easily slip into and read through without stopping. There’s no stupid drama and a whole lot of feels. It did fall a little flat for me at times, but overall I definitely enjoyed it a lot. Romances with family themes have always been among my favorites and since I’d already loved other books by this author, I knew I wanted to read this one as soon as I heard about it and I was not disappointed in the least!
It’s a complete standalone with a very satisfying ending. It’s written in third person, but from alternating POVs, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
