I enjoyed this story very much.
It was a prefect Sunday read on the couch with some real football on TV in the background.
Whitney is a kind and insecure woman who tries to be strong and independent at all cost, Shay is a sweet and caring man even if he always appears detached,their story is lovely.
These characters will grow on you page after page like a new born will grip your heart day after day with her gummy smile.
Julianna Marley wrote a nice and well paced story.
I’m looking forward to the next book in the series…I’m so curious after I’ve read that little snippet at the end.
My first read from this author and really loved this story. I really enjoyed reading it from beginning until end. It won’t be the last book I read from her.
Shay is a wellknown player and a women magnet. But underneath all of the layers, he’s more than that. One night he meets Whitney that is on the verge of delivering her baby and he needs to take her to the hospital. A connection is made but they lose track of each other but under circumstances meet again. Whitney, now a single mother, is broke after her boyfriend left her and took out all of the money in her account. Both Shay and Whitney feel something strong for each other….
I loved the story and how the author put everything together. A sweet romance but everything you want in a book is there 🙂 For me, this one is definitely a 5-star read!
Shay Cunningham gets the surprise of his life when he walks out of the locker room and finds a very pregnant Whitney Scott in labor in the deserted hallway, and panic immediately settles in. He has no idea what he is supposed to do with a woman about to give birth, she then instructs him that they need to get her to the hospital or he will be playing doctor and delivering her new bundle of joy. So, he gets her where she needs to be, and quickly finds that she is about to go through all of this alone, there is no fiance, family, or friends rushing in to be there by her side which makes him feel obligated to stay and hold her hand. Not realizing this one little act of kindness is about to change both of their lives, and take them down a path that they never anticipated…
Determined to get out from under her wealthy parents thumbs Whitney Scott flees Louisiana and heads for South Carolina’s for a life of her own choosing and to chase her own dreams. And for the most part she has found that, with the exception of a sleazy ex-fiance who chose to use her for his own personal gain, by stealing her money, and leaving her to raise their child on her own… and left her completely distrustful of men, So, the minute Mr. Football Shay Cunningham waltzes into her carefully planned life, and wants more than friendship she is ready to send him packing, but no matter how hard she tries to resist him, he keeps finding new ways to sneak past her defenses…
This alluring little tale captured my attention right from the start and had me flying right through the pages, with a incessant need to know more about this intriguing pair… which ultimately lead to me staying up well past my bedtime just to get my fix! This was my introduction to Ms. Marley’s work, and I have to say that it left a very memorable first impression, her endearing characters totally stole my heart!!! It was refreshing to read a story where the heroine could hold her own against a tough alpha male, and I was impressed to see that she had what it took to keep him on his toes the whole way through. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with these two, and can’t wait to get back to this series and get better acquainted with more of their friends!! Highly recommend you give this one a try, it’s sure to stir your emotions, have you smiling throughout and leave you with a happy heart!!
I voluntarily read and reviewed a advanced copy of this book.
