This was my first book by this author, and I am
impressed. I will definitely read more
of her work. This book is written in
third person from a dual POV.
Isaac is one of the good guys, who became a cop to protect
and serve after his time in the Marines. I love that he is a red-haired hero. Lauren is about to be a single mom when they
first meet in the middle of a storm, on a gridlocked interstate, at a critical
point in Lauren’s life. I really
appreciated the real life look at new motherhood through Lauren’s exhausted
eyes.
The friendship they form from the beginning and the trust
they place in each other leads to more very quickly. The chemistry between them is
combustible. I had many moments where I
laughed out loud at something the characters said or did. They have a lot of heat in the bedroom. Their friends and the support around them are
entertaining and important. There are a
few twists along the way; some I could almost see coming and some I definitely
did not. I loved how Isaac fought for their
relationship in the midst of their trial and that Lauren never stops loving
him. Their HEA is awesome in part
because they must overcome to get there.
I experienced all of the emotions reading this story and I definitely
recommend it.
Blurb:
Drawn together by the
future, torn apart by the past.
Welcome to Seattle, the
Emerald City and home to The Single Moms of Seattle. Three sexy single ladies
who drink a ton of wine every Saturday night, bitch about life, have each
other's backs, are the ultimate mama bears, and hope to one day, just maybe find
love again.
This is Lauren's story ...
Being a single mom was never
the plan for Lauren.
Neither was having a baby in
a car all alone on a gridlocked interstate.
Thank goodness for sexy cops
who are heroes even on their days off.
One of the good guys—or at
least trying to be—Isaac can’t get the woman whose baby he helped deliver out
of his head.
He sees it all with Lauren.
A life. A family. A future.
But superstition and a
family curse have her rebuffing him, even though she looks at him with a need
that mirrors his own.
When Lauren finally gives
into her heart, the passion between them explodes.
Life isn’t just good, it’s
great.
Until Isaac realizes their
history was connected in a way he never expected.
He ruined her life without
even knowing it.
Can he confess the truth to
Lauren without hurting the one person who has finally made him feel human
again? Without demolishing her world, and his, in the process?
**Note: This book can be read as a standalone. It includes lots of
steamy scenes, cursing, a sexy alpha male, and of course as with all my books,
this has an HEA and no cliffhanger or cheating. If you liked my single dad
series, then you'll love this spin-off trilogy.

Excerpt:
Her throat bobbed on a sexy swallow as she
sipped her wine, a bead of the merlot getting caught on her bottom lip. He
wanted to lick it off or at the very least catch it with his thumb, but he
resisted. She’d just put a barrier back between them, one he thought she’d torn
down earlier. He needed to respect her boundaries.
But when her mouth twisted in such a way and
that droplet clung to her lip, just calling to him, he said “fuck boundaries,”
reached forward and swiped his thumb over her lip. “For the record,” he said,
popping his thumb into his mouth, “you’re not damaged goods, as you said earlier. When my mom finally left my
dad, I would have punched any person in the face who dared to call her damaged
goods.”
Heat flashed in the blue of her eyes, and her
bottom lip dropped open.
“I’ll respect your decision,” he said. “But
just know, it’s not off the table for me … if you’re interested.”
She did nothing more than stare at him. But
the flare of her nostrils and the widening of her eyes did all the talking for
her.
Sitting up, he adjusted Ike on his lap. The
baby didn’t so much as flinch. “But I’m okay with just a friendship too. This
isn’t an ultimatum.”
“I’m only two weeks …” she whispered.
“We can’t …”
Shifting again, he turned to face her. Ike
remained deep in REM, his eyes behind his closed lids the only things moving,
save for the rise and fall of his little chest. “And if it is something you want to explore, we can take things slow. I’m not
a horny teenager that needs to jump into bed right away. We can get to know
each other.”
She nibbled on her lip. “You’re saying all
the right things, Isaac.” Her laugh was more of a throaty chortle as she turned
her head. “I don’t even know your last name. Besides the fact that you’re a
cop—a sergeant—you are single and childless and just adopted a kitten, I know
nothing about you. And yet we’re discussing—sort of—the idea of
becoming …”
“Fox.”
“Huh?”
“That’s my last name. Isaac James Fox.”
“You’re Foxy Sergeant Big Hands?” She shook
her head and averted her eyes. “Of course you are.”
“Foxy Sergeant Big Hands?” he murmured. Did
he miss something?
She sipped her wine. “Never mind.”
