I really got sucked into this one. I loved Lucas so much. I was drawn tho this book because Lucas is a single dad and boy does he have so many swoon worthy moments. I really wanted to knock some sense into Lucas’ ex. She’s a nasty piece of work. I loved Courtney as well. Watching Lucas, Courtney, and Maddi together is just so heartwarming. The epilogue was the absolute perfect way to end this one. I love epilogues in general because I love seeing the characters enjoying their HEAs, but it’s just something a little more special for this family. I highly recommend this one. You won’t be disappointed,

LOOOOVE Courtney & Lucas!!! OMH! When I first started this series, I thought Lucas was going to end up w/ someone else, and I spent some time rooting for that union, but then that someone else had her own book w/ someone else & I was all…Ohhhh! *laugh*
Courtney is PERFECT for Lucas, and he & Maddi are perfect for her. I love the pacing of their relationship & the way they work through the drama that comes at them from outside sources. Absolutely adored every minute of this story – there’s steam, sweetness, and many LOL moments that warmed my heart! Top recommendation (this whole series, and, if I’m honest, every story by this author is a top recommendation for me. I love her style and the stories she tells!)!! : )
4.5 stars
Oh my stars, Lucas Fremont is one special single dad and if I didn’t love Courtney so much, I just might fight her for him (you know fictionally, of course. 😉
Courtney Williams hasn’t had the best luck with relationships, marital or otherwise. After learning her douchepants husband not only cheated on her but got his mistress pregnant, she packs up her life, moves to the city and starts over. Still raw over the devastating loss of her marriage and dreams, the last thing she expects is to feel sizzling chemistry with the man she hired to remodel her new home.
Lucas Fremont knows all about to the disillusionment that comes with marriage to someone that doesn’t share your dreams. His marriage to his incredibly self-centered ex-wife gave him only one thing he cared about, his beautiful daughter, Madeline. He worries about her growing up without a mom but breathes his every waking breath for her. The truth is Maddie is the only woman in his life, despite his sister-in-laws’ various attempts to set him. He had no intention of falling for anyone else but that was before SHE walked into his office. He knows Courtney is special from their first meeting and she proved him right when she puts her generous heart on display for his little girl.
This book is beautiful and although, it can be read easily as a standalone, it actually made me sad that I hadn’t read the earlier books; that’s how much I loved it! Lucas is an amazing single dad but he’s all alpha with Courtney! It was delicious! Courtney was sweetness and light personified. I loved her grace, tenacity and how generous she was with her boundless love! With some of the things she’s been through, she could’ve been bitter but this lovely lady had a huge heart and I couldn’t help to fall in love with her, too. Maddie was the star of the show though. Utterly adorable and worth so much more than her jerk of a mother would give. She, Courtney and her hot dad make the perfect family!
I can’t wait to go back and read the rest of the series! Fantastic read!

Honestly, I would have given this more stars, I fell in love with these two. This is the book of Lucas, Levi’s brother from Runing Into Love. You know, the brother that tugged at your heart, because his wife was awful, to him, their little girl and really everyone she came into contact with, the wife that every time she spoke, you were thinking “oh no she didn’t”. Well this is his beautiful story with an equally beautiful woman. These two were both married to spouses that cheated, so in Sue’s world, the exes don’t count…at all.
Courtney is new to the city for her fresh start, after fleeing from the cheating ex, who continually still bothers her while he is living with the pregnant mistress. He is something else and Courtney is amazing, so deserving of Lucas who treats her like the princess she deserves to be. She had been through so much, growing up in foster homes and a cheating ex, she just wanted her hea. Lucas is a single doting father, I’m talking ovary overload adorable doting. He is such a great guy, who deserves a great woman after his ex wife, who is still causing problems. But he and Courtney stand together against their exes and it was refreshing to see. He is so wonderful and honestly I can’t say enough good things about him…oh and he cooks, did I mention that? You know what that means, right? Dibs, double dibs, I called him, read him first.
This was a wonderful book about a couple getting a chance at a happily ever after that neither thought they would get. This was a safe read, om and ow drama, the exes, but both do not put up with it and they unite until they prevail. A little pushing away from her, but he is not having that because he is crazy about her and she about him. Sexy af chemistry, he can’t get enough of her and she reciprocates. Loved the secondary/supporting characters, his daughter, her funny af outspoken BFF and his supportive family. We get a heart warming epilogue and an hea. Sorry for the long review, but absolutely floved this book, made my heart happy.
Courtney is starting over. Moving to NYC after her divorce is exactly what she needs. What she doesn’t anticipate is Lucas, the hot architect redoing her house. Neither is looking for a relationship but both are so “drawn into each other’.
Courtney and Lucas’ story is off the charts amazing! I fell so in love with this couple and their journey!
Absolutely exquisite writing, you will feel as though you are part of their story. Sweet, loving, and oh so sexy. Drawn Into You will have you longing for love just like theirs. An absolute MUST READ!!
A sweet story about single dad…
…loved the characters and their interactions…
Captivating me, with each word, making me smile..
…watching them fall in love, and more becoming a family~wtmo
Ever read a book that made you cry like a baby, not out of sadness but out of pure joy? I swear I cried more happy tears from the amount of sweetness in Drawn Into Love than any other book I’ve ever read. I’ve loved Aurora Rose Reynolds’ writing since her debut years ago but this book is hands down my new favorite of them all. And I really never thought anything would top Cash and Lilly, but look out world because Lucas and Courtney are here!
One of my favorite things in Aurora’s book are the women! They’re always real, always some one I would call a friend making it easy to connect with each and every one of them, but Courtney, gah, I freaking LOVED her! I loved that she was so very loving and kind, but also not a doormat. Gracefully overcoming and standing strong through things that are devastating without being bitter or cruel. Her personality along with her being physically realistic and not a tiny petite fairy or slim tall model but someone more relatable for many women and not often represented.
Then there’s Lucas, first of all *DIBS*! He is the ultimate book boyfriend. Protective yet sweet. Masculine, but not annoyingly macho. He’s also a loving father, a gentleman, and just all around swoony perfection. The pull between him and Courtney was so strong right from the start and the way he didn’t even try to resist that connection, but openly pursued making that connection deeper *sigh* my little heart could barely handle the warm and fuzzies. All that goodness on top of one of the sweetest and most moving relationships ever when it came to Courtney and Lucas’ daughter Maddi left my heart feeling like it was overflowing with happiness!
When it comes to swoony hero’s with some hot alpha tendencies, Aurora Rose Reynolds has that nailed. Drawn Into Love features two divorcees that meet one another seemingly at the right time in their lives which goes so well with the series name Fluke My Life. Thrown in a completely adorable little girl and you have what I would consider a romance hit on your hands.
What I loved about these characters was their personalities, they were both extremely caring individuals and you could absolutely feel that. Both Courtney and Lucas have some exes that definitely had me cursing out loud at times throughout this read.
With ups and downs, a ton of sweet and tender moments Drawn Into Love is a book that I found myself reading easily. I enjoyed the exchanges with all three characters, my heart melted specifically at certain moments involving Lucas’s daughter. And let’s not forget that I love hero’s that are alpha’s and Lucas is definitely one of them, his protectiveness was bossy and hot.
I look forward to the next read from Aurora Rose Reynolds, she consistently delivers books that appeal to my romantic soul.
After reading the first book in this series, you were left yearning for Lucas and little Maddi to get some happiness. They finally get it here with Courtney, who desperately needs some love herself! You don’t need to read the other books in the series to enjoy this one, but if you love it, you’re going to want to, and see how Lucas and Maddi started out
The story was an easy read, with an immediate attraction and happiness on all parties’ parts. The drama is easily supplied by the ex’s in their lives. A little bit of girl time with Abby, Courtney’s bestie, and some Fawn, with a smidge of Levi. In other words, a wonderfully sweet and sexy read, with an awwww epilogue that covers several points of view

I absolutely loved Drawn Into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds!!
This was such a feel good romance story and one of my favorite tropes!! I was immediately sucked into this story and didn’t stop until I was finished. I read this book in 1 Day!!
Drawn Into Love is the fourth book in the Fluke My Life series. It is a stand-alone novel and I don’t feel these books need to be read in order. They are separate stories and yes we see some over lap in characters but they play such a small part you won’t be lost or confused at all!!
This is a single father romance about two people who have been hurt in past relationships and have a hard time trusting but are still looking for that love story and HEA!! It is told in Dual POV. I thought the pace and flow of the story was spot on!!
Can Courtney and Lucas find their HEA??
In this book we follow Courtney and Lucas’s story. Lucas is the brother of Levi (from book 1) and is a single dad who has full custody of his daughter. Courtney has just moved to New York City after her divorce from her cheating husband is final. Determined to make a fresh and new start she buys a fixer upper for a house and that’s when she meets Lucas. She hires him to renovate her house. The attraction is instant but both have trouble with opening up. Can they learn to trust each other and find love again?? What happens when the past won’t stay in the past?? Read this book to find out!!
I enjoyed seeing some of the past characters from the other books in this story. It’s always nice when we get updated on what those characters are up to since their book.
If you are a fan of the single dad romance or you have read Aurora Rose Reynolds before, you are going to want to read this book!!! If you have read her work before this is the perfect series to get you started on her books.
There are just certain authors that you know are going to put a smile on your face when you read their stories and Aurora Rose Reynolds is one of those authors for me. She never lets me down and always leaves me needing more once I finish her books.
Drawn into Love (Fluke My Life #4) instantly sucked me in. I was glued to the pages in the world of Courtney Williams and Lucas Fremont. Their love story had me laughing, crying and shaking my head. You must get sucked into this world! It is such a great ride.
Courtney Williams is such a complex character. There were times I wanted to cry with Courtney, there were times I wanted to smack her and tell her to woman up, and there were many times I wanted to high-five this courageous wonderful woman as she became strong, independent and became the mother a sweet little girl needed in her life.
Lucas Fremont is just what you would expect coming from Aurora Rose Reynolds. He is dominate, sweet, knows what he wants, knows how to get it, and will not let his girl get away. I really enjoyed his character. He did a great job at building up Courtney’s confidence and helping her find out who she truly was inside. This man is also an amazing father to his sweet little girl Madeline aka Maddie.
Not going to lie… Maddie made the book for me. I adored her so much.
There is a ton of ex-drama in this book. So, of it, I did feel was a little too much. For me, I was needing one dramatic event and we never got that giant event in this book, this one is more drawn into little segments.
As always, I am dying for the next book from this author. She keeps her stories fresh and I always end her books with a giant smile on my face wanting more.
Drawn Into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds is book Four in the Fluke My Life Series. This is the story of Courtney Williams and Lucas Fremont. I have read (and LOVED) the previous books, but feel you can make this a standalone book if you wish to do so.
Courtney is out to start a new life after her longtime husband is caught cheating and making his girlfriend pregnant. Courtney had a on going issue trying to get pregnant so this his harder then just a regular cheating. Lucas is a single father who is trying to raise his daughter after his divorce and his ex-wife lack of involvement in their daughter’s life. When Courtney becomes a client for his architect company she starts to open the trust and want into him again. Courtney is learning to trust again with Lucas and her love for his daughter is growing quickly.
I have become a big fan of Ms. Reynolds writing…I recommend this book and her writing highly.
I adored this book it’s such a beautiful gentle love story that made me feel so happy.
Lucas is such a wonderful character to read. He’s a devoted single dad to the sweetest little girl you really her the sense that they are a team. He’s not looking for love but the instant attraction he feels for Courtney is palpable. He’s alpha protective loving added to a sensitive thoughtful soul and he’s irresistible. Sometimes I have a hard time liking female characters who been cheated on but I loved Courtney. Her self worth won’t let her settle for second best and she forges a new life for herself. I loved reading about not just their budding relationship but also the forming of a family unit.
This was an enjoyable at times tender read.
