Second grade teacher, Mia Delaney, isn’t looking for love. In fact, she isn’t looking for anything at all because life hasn’t been fair. Everything—the idea of love, her hopes and dreams—was ripped away in a single night.Arrogant yet sexy Adam Lawson makes the move to a small town in an attempt to escape life in the city. Here he hopes to provide a fresh start for those he loves and protects with … and protects with a vow to never let anyone get close enough to hurt them again.
A chance encounter with Miss Delaney begins a relentless pursuit that has Adam breaking his own rules when he makes an offer she simply can’t refuse. Despite her internal struggles, Mia knows there’s no denying the attraction between them.
But when acquaintances become friends and friends become enemies, Adam’s need to protect those around him becomes even more crucial.
Will the tangled web of lies and betrayal combined with past insecurities become too much for them to handle?

Wow! What a start to this trilogy. I am hooked. Mia is a second grade teacher in the small town she’s lived in all her life. She has a heavy past that we slowly find out about as the book progresses. As she returns from a summer visit at her brother’s she meets Adam who has moved to town since she’s been gone (and it’s some first meeting- the description of Adam here hooked me). She soon finds out he is the father of twins and one happens to be in her new class. He has many secrets/mysteries in his past and present personal life. She is not the type to have a “just sex” type of relationship but that’s all Adsm offers. But of course it slowly turns to more on both sides. But past and present catch up to them and it ends with a cliffhanger. (Thankfully I don’t have to wait for book 2.)
The narration by Tracy Mark was excellent.
This book has so many twists & turns. Just when you think you have it figured out what’s going to happen, bam, a surprise. A wonderful loving story that will captivate you! I just had to go buy the other two in this series.
Good romance
Can 2 broken hearts come together and heal together. Both Mia and Adam have had there share of tragedy . Adam was a man whore until Mia came along. Mia doesn’t know how valuable she is until Adam helps her realize how loving and beautiful she is . I love the chemistry that Adam and Mia have together. Look forward to reading more of there story together.
Why did the story have to end!!! It was amazing

Awesome book. I even bought the rest to find out what happens.
Loved it.
This was a very steamy story…. i enjoyed the book but it was very x rated, something I’m not too into but the story itself was enjoyable.
Omg this book gave me chills, I can’t believe such a love story isn’t finished in the first book, you have to read the next book to understand what’s going to happen.
I thought this was an amazing book. I loved the characters. The more you read, the more you get to know the characters and the more you fall in love with both of them. There is a cliffhanger, but there is a small excerpt from the next book so you aren’t left hanging too badly.
Good reading material for a relaxing day. There is always hope no matter the circumstances.
Great reading
The entire series is worth reading.
Great read.
Page turner!
Loved this book and it left me wanting more! Great charecters, sexy love scenes, just great writing. Looking forward to reading more of her books.
I loved this book and I couldn’t believe that this is LM Carr’s debut novel!
This is a sexy, romantic, funny easy read about Connecticut home girl and teacher who falls for handsome New York developer who sweeps her off her feet. I loved the character development between Adam and Mia and the funny, sexy, and Latin flavored banter.
What made this story stand on its own is the individual struggles of the main characters which made their romance more interesting and the story more absorbing.
Cannot wait for the next installment!!
For this to be a debut novel this author did a wonderful job of bringing out characters, faults and all and blending them with the story. An interesting story over all with some nice blends of suspense and romance that isn’t over the top. There is angst and yes there are issues and those that cause issues and there are 2 adorable kids involved as well. I like seeing where an author has come fro and how they have progressed as an author. While at the beginning stages she is more descriptive in her writing which isn’t a bad thing merely an observation. I enjoyed the read and can’t wait to finish the trilogy, oh yes there is a cliffhanger so you have been warned.
Mia Delaney is a teacher and she has a past that keeps her guarded. Adam Lawson is a sexy father to one of her students. He wants a Mia for an just sex not a relationship. He has a guarded past also. They can’t deny the attraction. Can they be together? Great characters and storyline. Highly recommended Excellent Book. This is book one
The only problem I had was to find out what happened at the end I have to buy the next book in the series. I am going to do that now because the book was interesting.
