Nikki and Austin I just LOVED these two! There was so much left unsaid between them when Nikki disappears but when she reappears with some big news they both have to learn to trust each other & move beyond their past to find their HEA. There is definitely some mysterious/ dangerous things happening in Carson & Renee Harless keeps you on the edge of your seat with this next installment of Welcome to Carson!
This is the first book I have read by Renee and even though it’s the second in a series I didn’t feel like I was missing any of the back story. I live second chance romances and surprise pregnancy stories so this was a win on both counts. The romance is plentiful and I enjoyed the development of Nikki and Austins relationship, there was quite a lot happening throughout but it was easy to follow and enjoyable. The supporting characters were strong and you know there’s more relationships waiting to come to life, which I look forward to following. Overall a nice easy read.
There are not enough stars for how much I love this book! This was beautifully written, full of passion and love. Austin makes me swoon and wish I could be in Nikki’s place. This book is full of suspense, humor, heartbreak, healing, love and a whole lot of SEXY!! This is a small town romance and you will fall in love with not only Austin and Nikki but all the characters in Carson!!! This is book two in the Carson Series, even though every book is a standalone, I can guarantee you want to read the first one so you dont miss out on any couple or adventure in Carson!!
Wow! Really enjoyed this book!
Austin was gutted when Nikki up and left him. Now she’s back, he doesn’t know what to do?
He can’t run from the fact she’s now expecting his child and can’t deny his feelings for her.
Can he forgive her for leaving and breaking his heart?
Not to mention strange things have been happening with his company.
Can he find out who is trying to sabotage his work?
This book was filled will drama, mystery and suspense. I was hanging on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Loved Nikki and Austin’s story. I can’t wait to read more of this series
When it comes to love Nikki Deveraux is doubtful that it is possible to withstand the test of time and more than hesitant to even try to find it, she has witnessed what it is like when love fails and she has no intentions of falling prey to it… but she didn’t account on meeting a man quite like Austin Connelly. The moment they meet things get hot and heavy, and feelings start to find their way in, but he made it clear that he wasn’t looking for love, so Nikki tried really hard to guard her heart and keep things between them light. But then she finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, and knowing Austin’s feelings about a family she decides the best thing for her to do is leave town, and deal with things on her own…without so much as a goodbye!
Austin Connelly thought he had found love once, and was ready to venture down the aisle, but before he could even ask for her hand in marriage, she bailed on him and it crushed him. So, from that point on he decided to avoid love at all costs, he knew there was no way he could endure a heartbreaking loss a second time, so all of his entanglements with woman have been one night stands… but then he meets Nikki, and sticking to one night becomes impossible. They instantly connect and he thinks things are moving in the right direction for them, and then she just up and disappears on him, and once again he is left picking up the pieces of his broken heart. But now Nikki has returned to town, with a bit of unexpected news, and she wants a second chance…question is can his heart handle round two?
This story is one of those stories that has the power to completely wreck you, and then put you back together again… it was freaking amazing!! I went from moments of being completely distraught and broken-hearted, to moments of feeling overwhelming joy…it was one hell of a roller coaster ride!! Being familiar with these two from the first installment, I had my suspicions about how things would play out for them, but I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised with how things turned out. Their story had a bit of mystery mixed in that kept me captivated, and had me on the edge of my seat bracing for the worst, and hoping they would be able to withstand it. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, it was a perfectly blended second chance romance story that left me with a happy heart…and a new book boyfriend to dream about to boot!! Highly recommend!!
And the awesomeness continues with the second book in the Welcome to Carson series. I loved Nikki and Austin’s story!! It’s is nothing short of suspenseful, swoon worthy, and hot. I’m a sucker for secret/ accidental babies, and this story did not disappoint. I’m loving each of these books and how you see potential stories brewing with the characters of Carson. Renee has definitely succeeded in keeping me on edge waiting for the next book and feed my book addiction.
Austin has been burned and has made his view on women a little jaded, especially when it comes to second chances. But things with Nikki were different and he started to fall hard. Until she up and leaves without a word. Now months later and she comes dropping a bomb on Austin and the whole family during their Christmas celebration. He has never stopped loving her, but is he willing to risk his heart again? He doesn’t have a good track record with second chances, but it’s very hard for him to stay away from Nikki.
All Nikki has ever known growing up is to run away when things get hard. So when she finds herself pregnant she runs to the comfort of her aunt and cousin keeping her pregnancy from Austin. When she knows it’s time to come home and deal with the hurt she knows she’s caused Austin, she finds herself trying to rebuild his trust and learning to face her problems and fears.
Before they can focus on a happily ever after, sabotage within Austin’s company threatens their future and their lives. Will they both overcome their pasts and have enough time to work on their future?
Nothing like a small town story to see how a community comes together at a time of need. Coming Together is the second book of this great series and a standalone with its own HEA. It’s a second chance romance with secret pregnancy. Well written and super easy to follow, especially if you’ve read the first book for the back story and history of the characters. Definitely a must read!! Can’t wait for the rest of the series!!
Austin Connelly had always wanted Nikki Deveraux, and he had to wait a year until he finally had his chance. An innocent night of bowling with their friends led to their steamy first kiss and a passionate night that they would never forget. Nikki was his soulmate and he found it easy to fall in love with her. He had been with quite a few women before Nikki, but he realized that she was the one for him and he was hoping that she felt the same way. Nikki had fallen in love with Austin and it was a deep and forever kind of love. She loved everything about him from his sharp mind to his sexy eagle tattoo. He consumed all of her thoughts, all of her days and all of her heart. She will never forget their first explosive kiss because it was so intense she almost stopped breathing.
Everything was perfect until two months into their relationship, Nikki found out she was pregnant. She was happy and sad at the same time. Nikki had grown up with parents who never showed her any love. Even now as an adult, she felt that no one could ever love her, and even though she loved Austin with all of her heart, she was too afraid to tell him about the baby, so she disappeared.
Nikki returned to Carson on Christmas Day and announced to Austin and his family that she was four months pregnant. He was so upset that he stormed out of the house. He had no idea why Nikki had kept her pregnancy from him. While she was away he had even bought a farmhouse and fixed it up with her in mind. He is determined to not fall in love with her again because the pain would be too much.
Will Austin accept and understand Nikki’s reason for leaving , or will he refuse to listen to her explanation?
Can Nikki convince Austin that she will never leave him, or will something happen to cause her to run away again?
“Coming Together” is the second book in the Coming to Carson series by Renee Harless. Renee has written a deeply moving love story that brings together two people who were meant for each other, but who needed time and patience to figure it out. Austin and Nikki learn that the road to happiness is never easy, but it is worth it in the end.
This is book number two in the Welcome to Carson series and can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading in order so you can meet all of the characters in this charming small-town. This book is a surprise baby/second chance romance and it will give you all the feels. Nikki and Austin were together but insecurities lead Nikki to leave town without telling Austin. Now she is back and pregnant and trying to do right for her unborn child and make it up to Austin for leaving. I immediately felt like Nikki was so relatable. We all go through self-doubt and insecurities in life and Austin for his part was very patient, charming, sweet and forgiving. It took a bit of time for them to work out their issues but it was sweet watching them navigate their relationship. I also loved the twists and turns of the novel that I didn’t see coming and I fell in love with the side characters in this novel and can’t wait to read their stories as well. I would highly recommend this book.
Did not like the cussing so I did not finish the book.
I only read a few pages before I deleted it. Sex “memories” were gross in my opinion..
5 stars because it is worthy! This story covers the love of a Nikki and Austin. They were mentioned in the first book of the series. Coming Together take off right where the first book ends. Nikki and Austin have that once in a lifetime love that a lot o people dream about. Then Nikki does what she thinks is best and runs away. I loved how the author intertwined the characters. You are able to find out more about Avery and Logan. This is a MUST READ.
