Eli Andrews wasn’t supposed to be anything other than a temporary roommate.

On paper, it all makes sense. I rent out a room to him to earn some much-needed cash when my work hours get cut. I’ll stay on my side of the house and he’ll stay on his. Away from me and my kids.

But he wasn’t supposed to be tall and gorgeous and make butterflies flutter in my stomach. He wasn’t supposed to be helpful and charming and supportive in a way I didn’t know I needed. He wasn’t supposed to wake that part of me that’s laid dormant for so long, an attraction building between us the longer he stays. I wasn’t supposed to fall under his spell.

Or into his bed.

For years, I’ve made sensible choices. Ones that are best for my kids and me. Ones that don’t involve sexy blue-eyed strangers who are only in town for a month.

Eli Andrews isn’t staying in Crescent Pass. But tell that to my heart.

Kristen Taylor wasn’t supposed to be the woman of my dreams.

On paper, it doesn’t make sense. She’s a widow with two kids, while I’m the guy who avoids relationships. Only, when plans fall through and I’m stuck on a job with nowhere to stay, she’s the one who comes through for me.

But she wasn’t supposed to be so easy to get along with. She wasn’t supposed to show me what a family could really be like. She wasn’t supposed to make my heart pound.

Or tempt me beyond belief.

For years, I’ve kept to myself. It’s safer that way. No one to disappoint or hurt you in return. Besides, I’m not staying in Crescent Pass.

So why can’t I get her out of my head… or my heart?

My Rating:

Favorite Quote:

As Jenny returns to the living room, what ensues is a passionate argument on the young girl’s side espousing all the benefits of Kraft macaroni and cheese, but her pleas fall on deaf ears as her brother refuses to entertain any idea other than dinosaur chicken nuggets.

How can I not dream? Sometimes families aren’t ones you make, but ones you find.

The certainty that this was the right decision fills me again and I send up a silent prayer to whoever may be out there, thanking them for this moment. That I’d ever have the chance for it. Because now that I have this, I’m never letting it go.

My Review:

My enchantment with Allie Winters continues with the second installment in her cleverly penned new series. Realistically drawn people with real problems, annoying family members, and the stirring to life of a repressed, suppressed, and oppressed libido. I loved every well-chosen word. Ms. Winters has mad storytelling skills. Sign me on for more of the same. I live for this!
