REVIEW: 4,5 STARS
Temperance was a strong single mom who would do anything for her sassy little girl. But she's also very shy and self-conscious. When the guy she always had a crush on comes back to town, she reverts back to the young girl who was crushing and lusting after Asher Kade; the girl who got tongue tied when he was near and who was always staring.
Asher always thought Tempie was cute and if he hadn't known that he was leaving town as soon as he graduated, he would have pursued her. But he wanted to leave, he wanted more out of his life other than working for his dad's construction company. So he left, he got his degree and is now an architect who is now also back in his hometown. After losing his brother a couple of moths back and his dad announcing his retirement; it feels right to be back and spend more time with his family and old friends.
When he sees Temperance for the first time, he's blown away. She's the same sweet girl but all grown up to be the most beautiful sexy woman he's ever laid eyes on. Asher sees how he still affects her so he grabs this second chance by the horns and doesn't let go. This time he isn't going anywhere and he's getting the girl.
It comes as a shock to him that Tempie is a mother, he doesn't even like kids but he soon falls for the sassy little cutie. It was inevitable. These two were super cute. I loved watching them become buddies. It was honestly the best. For someone who didn't like kids he was amazing with Ellie.
Now winning over her mother is a bit harder, she's scared, skittish and second guessing everything between them. She knows that the secret she's managed to keep for the past 3 years is about to come out and she doesn't know what to do. She knows it will change everything and she's not ready. Only the truth comes out before she could tell it and knowing who Ellie's father is threatens to ruin everything.
Miranda wrote a beautiful story full of love, secrets and heartbreak. For her first book I think she did beyond amazing and it's definitely a book worth checking out.
Excerpt:
I’m nervous but excited. My gut says to run away, but the glass of wine I just finished off is telling me this is an excellent idea. Feeling brave, I hold the phone out at arm’s reach and take a selfie of me sitting on top of my unmade bed.
Times like these make me glad I’m not great about washing the small amount of makeup I wear off before bed. Typically, I just use a baby wipe right before I fall asleep to wipe off whatever bit of mascara survived the day.
Today’s makeup, though light, is still present. I’m spread across the bed in my tiny black shorts and my favorite red tank top with a shelf bra built in. Before logic can make its way into my brain I hit send.
I review the picture and instantly regret fills my stomach. I felt so brave thirty seconds ago. But staring at it now, I see the small rolls of my stomach, and my chest needs more support than the tank itself can provide. Those are not perky twenty-year-old breasts. Those are the breasts of a woman who’s edging toward thirty and has had a baby. I’m ashamed of the dark circles under my eyes.
Why did I send that pic?
Asher: Fuck
My heart sinks. He probably sees all my flaws, too. In a dimly lit house they might not have been noticeable in passing. But on a phone screen, where you can zoom in they’re just there for the seeing.
Asher: Wow. That’s an incredible sight.
I’m unable to conjure a complete thought, nothing sexy, witty, or interesting. I’m frozen, knowing he’s staring at a photo of me, in awe.
Asher: Ok, my turn.
I’m not in any way prepared for what he sends. I’ve seen him shirtless. Hell, I can’t believe I’ve seen him nearly naked in person, felt him in the palm of my hand. And still, I’m in shock at the sight of him stretched out on his bed in just a pair of thin gray sweats, his hand on top wrapped around the outline of his long, thick cock.
I stare for too long at that hand holding that cock firmly. I almost don’t even notice the smirk on his face. He knows how attracted I am to him. Just being around him makes me weak, and by the look on his face I’m guessing he knows how turned on this sight is making me.
My resolve weakens. It’s not even just his hard body or amazing face. It’s the patience he’s shown my daughter. It’s his willingness to spend his time and skills to help me. It’s how he came home to relieve his parents of the stress and pressure of losing a son and attempting to run a business. It’s everything I don’t deserve to hold so close to my heart.
He’s a remarkable man. A man that in a different life, at a different time, I would fight tooth and nail to make mine.
Asher: You still there? You’re starting to hurt my ego.
Me: Yeah. :) Just setting your profile pic on my phone.
Asher: Better make sure it stays locked then.
Me: No worries. I cropped it a tad.
Asher: Just a tad?
I giggle. There ain’t nothing tad-like about that cock.
Me: Well . . . maybe more than a tad. ;)
