COMING: N O V E M B E R 13th Hint: Keep an eye out for an announcement soon on Instagram
“I want to make you smile like you mean it.”
The day Cole Lannington says those words to me, I already know I’m falling. Hard. For a man I can never have. Because there’s no way in hell I’ll ever deserve a man like him.
Annie
All I need to do is keep my head above water. Push a little harder. Keep that smile plastered on my face for my son as we try to wade through the new life that’s threatening to drown us both.
But on the first day I can’t seem to hold it all together, I meet him. And for some reason, he comes to my aid. Before I know it, Cole steps in and becomes an important part of my life. Our lives. Fills a void left vacant by a man who never wanted to fill it in the first place.
Too bad he can never be more than a friend.
Cole
All I need to do is be a nice guy to my new neighbor. Make her smile a little bit. Find space in my tidy, structured life to ease the burden she carries so she and her son can enjoy life without the bastard who treated them like they were insignificant.
I don’t expect to talk and laugh and feel a warmth in my chest I didn’t know was missing until she showed up at my door. Somehow I end up caring about her more deeply than I should. But my friendship with Annie opens my eyes to what it could be like to have something deeper. To feel something stronger.
To fall in love like I mean it.
REVIEW
Poor Annie is pregnant and no food in the fridge, she smells the neighbors cooking/grilling and waltzes there to ask for food, yes food. Cole decides to take pity on her and offers to bring over dinner for her and her kid. Now, this was something new for me to read in a sense of how I view and usually like my male hero's, the heroine part was spot on how I liked it, she was not shy, strong but broken. The anticipation in this book about killed me, I wasn't sure where it was going to go, why, I wanted answers right away (I was good and did NOT bother the author to pretty please tell me). All in all in involves a beaten down by life woman who kept going strong even when she couldn't. I don’t want to spoiler alert too much but this has the cutest 4 year old boy who you cant help but fall in love with and a Boss named Carly who is #goals! I enjoyed it very much, couldn't stop going through the pages to find out more. HAPPY READING, highly recommended!
