A small town is the perfect place to hide out for me and my little girl.
Until the beautiful girl next door reminds me of what I’m missing in life.
Love. Lust. Passion.
All of the above. And somehow, she brings all three and much more out of me.
But I don’t have the pleasure of indulging in the softer side of life.
I’ve seen some things in the past and they’re creeping up to get me.
My only … they’re creeping up to get me.
My only job is to protect my little one and try to make life as normal as possible.
Being born a fighter that won’t back down is my only redeeming quality.
If I could take back what I saw that has us running and hiding, I would.
All I ever wanted was a family to love and protect.
And I got my wish on the protecting part.
Against my own rules, I let this beautiful, curvy woman in, and before I can really enjoy her warmth, she’s gone.
Taken by the guys who want my life.
Good luck to them because I’m going after what’s mine.
Her.
Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

A well written and interesting read. You have two people with issues who both have a hard time moving forward or truthfully are afraid to do so. Colton is running for his life with his daughter Abby and Jenna has lived in this small town her whole life but wants a bit more for herself. When things goes from good to bad will they be able to survive a relationship of any kind? You’ll have to read to find out.
This is a story that displays Weston Parker’s talent fully as a writer.He’s not just a romance writer [although he does excel at this!] but illustrates how well he is at creating mystery, suspense and danger and having you on the edge of your seat and ‘unable’ to put the book down as it was compelling. The main characters are Colton who is a widower whose wife died a year ago; he has an adorable four year old daughter called Abby who will melt your heart, they are on the run from his previous life as an MMA boxer and they find themselves in Nebraska where their next door neighbour is Jenna who is a waitress. There is certainly plenty of chemistry between Colton and Jenna which was enough to have you reaching to turn on your fan or ac. But can he trust her as he is always looking over his shoulder in case he and Abby need to run again. But there is so much more between him and Jenna that he wants to make this their home. Their best friends are great characters too and I’m sure that there could be at least another book from them [hint hint]. But then there is trouble looming for Jenna and Colton is obviously going to protect her as best he can. Can love overcome all their difficulties? Can Colton and Abby find their forever home in Beatrice? Do Colton and Jenna have a chance at enduring,passionate love? To find out you’re going to have to read this fantastic page turner of a story for yourselves just as I did! If you haven’tread any of Weston’s books before [where have you been???] then I’m sure you’ll be looking for the rest of his wonderful books afterwards! I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!!!!!
Loved Jenna and Colton’s story. He was the ultimate bad boy with a hidden soft heart. Talk about an emotional roller coaster, this book will take you on one. Well written in true Weston Parker style. Once you start reading you will find it hard to put this book down. An engaging story with likable, well developed characters. I read an arc and voluntarily chose to write a review.
Weston Parker has created a beautifully well written suspenseful romance. Colton James and his daughter move to a small town in Nebraska to escape terrible people in Boston. While there he meets Jenna a waitress in town. What starts as lust, soon becomes something more. However danger from his past and three stooges from Jenna’s present threaten the happiness they’ve found. Full of heartache, fear, laughter, doubts, tears, danger, passion, and love. Readers will fall in love with Colton, Jenna, and their best friends and won’t be able to put Going After What’s Mine down.
“I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this novel.”
Exciting drama, romance and love story.
Colton and Abby are on the run and end up in Beatrice Nebraska where he falls hopelessly in lust with his new next-door neighbor, Jenna. he lost his wife a year ago and has been living in limbo. Colton is determined to stay away from everybody in case he has to run again quickly but that doesn’t stop the attraction he has for Jenna and she feels the same way about him. And who could possibly not love Colton’s four-year-old daughter Abby. Colton thinks he is safe but he is keeping his eyes and ears open in case he needs to leave town quickly. He is going to protect his family no matter what. I love it when men grovel. If they would’ve just told the truth in the first place it wouldn’t be necessary. But it is so great to see them use their feelings along with their heart to project their love and he has definitely fallen in love with Jenna. Can he trust her? Can he tell her the truth or will she run. Colton has been running on adrenaline for a year and he is just about tapped out as far as energy goes. But there is still nothing that will keep him from protecting what is his. Excellent writing with characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. Great storyline with great plot twists.
Another one of Weston’s great books. I love reading his stories. This one had a little edge to it (scary if you will at times – for the characters facing life). I enjoyed it and look forward to his next release!
bby and Colton are passionate individuals who have no choice but to fall in love. They are next door neighbors who find themselves in drama that the author has done well with this story line. I loved that Colton did whatever he had to, to take care of his little Jenna. I am voluntarily leaving my review of this ARC.
A really enjoyable and entertaining read. This story is about Jenna and Colton. Jenna is a waitresS and Colton, a retired MMA fighter. They are next door neighbours and Jenna is quite curious about the gorgeous man next door. A few twist and a tad of danger and the story is quite captivating. I voluntarily received an arc copy of this book from the author and purchased a copy as well
Another great book written by Weston Parker. Going After What’s Mine is a small town romantic suspense. I loved Colton and Jenna’s story. Colton, a former MMA fighter and a great single dad, is handsome and protective. Jenna is strong and smart. They share an instant attraction, and a beautiful chemistry. Abby, Colton’s daughter, is cute! The storyline has action, suspense, danger, mystery, and twists and turns. The Epilogue is beautiful. I enjoyed it.
This was an awesome book. It gave us so much to think about and follow. I loved the storyline and the ending was just what I expected. I happily will recommend this one. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy.
Going After What’s Mine by Weston Parker is a small town romance. Single dad Colton is trying to run firm his past with young daughter Abby but unfortunately danger from his past has followed him. Strong characters and small community where everyone knows you and takes care of one another. Love how the neighbors look out and lend a helping hand.
Finding a new love interest in his neighbor leads to a lot of drama and suspense.
I was given a copy and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
The characters are well written and have immediate chemistry. There is an air of mystery and danger throughout the book. Colton is a single father trying to raise a young daughter away from the danger. Jenna is the woman who crosses paths with them. I have read several books from Weston and they keep getting better.
Love. Lust. Passion. Oh my!! Weston doesn’t fail with this one. It’s a captivating story with amazing characters and a chemistry that is on fire. It’s an action-packed, angsty, suspenseful drama that definitely keeps you enthralled until very the end. Once I started I couldn’t put it down. Kudos to Weston.
I have voluntarily read and reviewed this advanced readers copy for my own opinion.
Another great read by Weston Parker, Going After What’s Mine was a story with plenty of twists, suspense, intrigue and romance. The characters are extremely likable and you won’t help but fall for them. This story will definitely grab you from the start and keep you hooked till the very end. I absolutely loved this book it has everything I expect from this Author and more. I highly recommend this great story.
Holy smokes this book was absolutely fantastic and had me at the edge of my seat the entire book. I absolutely loved colton and my heart broke for him several times and poor Abby his daughter. He is on the run and hiding out in a small town in Nebraska where he meets his neighbor and finds her attractive but he doesn’t want to bring her into his darkness because he has lost so much already in his life but can jenna bring lightness into his life again or will it be to late? This is one book you can’t put down or stop reading until the end. Absolutely fantastic.
What a touching, sweet and heartfelt story with a bit of mystery and suspense! I enjoyed this writer’s bad boy stories. They might be bad boys but they are good men with big hearts. This story completely captivated me and I could not put it down. This is Colton and Jenna’s story. Colton is a retired MMA fighter trying to protect his daughter. Jenna is a waitress that is curious about her neighbor. Great story and love the characters!!
Amazing book, sexy and suspenseful fast pace loved this book. Great storyline kept me turning the pages.
To be honest I don’t know how Weston Parker do it, I mean every book of his is great and every time he comes up with a new one, that book knocks the previous one out its place.
Going After What’s Mine was packed with action, suspense and a thrill that I didn’t expect at all, but it captivated me from the beginning.
The story of an ex-MMA fighter & single father, Colton, and the small town waitress and college student, Jenna, had me on edge and keeping me on my toes.
The troubles from the past kept coming back to hunt Colton, while trying to keep his daughter Abby safe, making him to take unexpected and hard decisions.
The secrets that Jenna had to discover in a hard way threatened the good relationship she had with Colton, and making her susceptible of harm.
The chemistry between them two was off the charts keeping the heat perfectly balance throughout the book, with the continue reminder that bad boys can bring heaven to you.
Now the question is, will that be enough for them two to prove the odds wrong?
You will have to find out.
Another 5 book under Weston’s collection. Highly recommend this book!
Oh my! What a great read! I was completely pulled in and couldn’t put this down. The story flows well, has moments that I was on my toes, a great cast of characters that I loved and a great amount of heat. Colton has this bit of mystery, he’s protective, perfectly sweet with his daughter and all that together works so well. Jenna is strong and smart, caring and I loved her attitude. Loved this read! I am hoping we get to hear more from their friends Kevin and Rose.
I loved Colton and Jenna’s story. A Single dad romance written to perfection. I couldn’t put it down.
