Helen Lacey knows how to capture the hearts of her readers each and every single time! This time around we meet Cassandra , single mom and trying the best she can. Her baby's father died in a covert mission whilst on duty, and she has always known that his brother will one day come and pull her house out from under her and leave her world in pieces.
Only when Tanner McCord arrives it turns out he wants to give Cassie and the baby the very best they deserve , including a lifetime in his arms, but what will happen when he reveals the truth about his deceased brother?
A really, really lovely romantic story about a stunning couple that really got to my heart and will live there for a long time. Tanner was that classic " I love to hate this man but man I adore him so much too" kind of hero and totally melted my heart. And Cassie, shame poor Cassie it was tough reading about her single life experiences , I have been and still am in her position but somehow reading about what us single moms handle everyday made it very hard to read about, we move from day to day but don't really stop to think about it all, so Cassie 's insight into it all made it more real and broke my heart but it also made me very happy when she saw the light and it all worked out.
I recommend this read for all fans of romance, a lovely story about second changes and first time tries.
5/5 star review
" He has arrived to heal her broken heart, but will his secret break it all over again?"
