This is the first book by this author for me. I am looking forward to reading more. I loved the characters! They just pull you in to their story. They are not perfect, they have issues, they have incredible chemistry. Which keeps you turning the pages to see what will happen! Check this out. I am voluntarily leaving my review after reading an advance reader copy of the book from the author.
This is the first book by Cherene Gouin. It had a fairly good plot that kept me reading to see what happened. There were lots of errors and the writing was all over the place. Sex scenes between side characters were more descriptive than with the main characters. If the author can’t afford an editor she needs some good betas who will help with errors, timeline issues and flow of the story.
Great first book in the Baileys series. Maria and Mason drive across country as strangers, but learn fast they want to be more. The Bailey’s is a huge family and continues to grow. There are some people who don’t like their happiness along the way and some heart break too, but a wonderful family to enjoy the ride with:)
This is the first book by this author and she seems promising.
The characters were good, but at times were confusing with the different POV.
This is a new Author to me and I will be looking for more books by her.
The first story in The Bailey’s series, very well written story. Family drama, suspense, twists and turns, but mostly is a beautiful romance between Maria and billionaire Mason . Maria is widow ,she didn’t had easy life ,she was blame for her husband death. She didn’t do it and he was her love.. Maria was introduce to Mason while visiting friend. She got opportunity to travel with him and this brought some discovery. She could be loved and be in love.
But they know each other for short period of time and somebody try to break them apart,too.
.I will say keep the Kleenex handy.

This poignant story will have you crying in the end. Maria had lived through so much pain an hardship. Through it all she had one thing that kept everything a focal point and that was the love of family that she gained through Adam and his parents because hers was dysfunctional. When she was gifted a visit to her best friends in New York, she was introduced to Mason. Their connection was profound and garnered a love that she never expected to have again. Too bad that the man that introduced them had nefarious reasons for doing so. Will he get away with what he has planned putting an end to a beautiful relationship?
