Lauren Hayes has had a thing for her best friends brother for as long as she can remember, problem is that for one he is off limits, and two, he is so far out of her league. She wants to meet a man that will knock her socks off, and of course meet her long list of standards, but so far Mr. Right hasn’t come knocking. Her friends are convinced she is going about it all wrong, so they sign her up with a dating site and ensure her this is the way for her to meet her match, but the man who shows up to meet her is far beyond any expectations she had… and also happens to be the one man that has always been off limits!
This was my first book by this author and I absolutely loved it, it was so refreshing to read something a little out of my norm, and dive into a read with no preconceived expectations. The heartwarming story line gave me a serious case of the feels and kept me captivated from start to finish! I enjoyed watching the relationship develop between Trent and Lauren, their chemistry was amazing and they were very likable and realistic characters. I also appreciated how the author put a lot of time and care into detailing Trent’s transition back to civilian life after leaving the service, I felt as though she did her research and covered it as accurately as possible. I highly recommend you give this book a try, Trent is sure to steal your heart!
I really loved this story. I worried that it was going to be another story of a vet with PTSD issues. Not that I don’t have compassion and respect for those individuals, I’ve just simply read too many of them recently. Luckily Ms. Stewart made this story so much more. Yes, Trent had issues but he didn’t let them rule his life. After what he went through and the friends he lost he wanted to honor them by living his life to the fullest. Getting into the dating scene is hard though so he tries an online service to help him. He can’t believe it when he is set up with his sisters lifelong best friend Lauren Hayes. The chemistry and attraction are there but she is off limits unless he wants his sister to cut off some vital parts of his anatomy. But there is that whole chemistry and attraction thing again….. so they both decide to have a month long fling. After that they walk away. Yeah, right!
A well done story and a book I think everyone will enjoy. I highly recommend it.
