Matt Foster has never met a woman he couldn’t seduce into his bed. But when he meets Natasha Kingsley, there’s just one little problem—she’s not alone. Her three-year-old daughter wants a pony ride, an ice cream cone, and help to reach the highest rungs of the climbers at the park. Before he knows it, he’s spent all day with the Kingsley girls, and for the first time in forever, finds himself … wanting more.
Tasha doesn’t realize who Matt is related to until he gives her his number at the end of a perfect day. Turning down his request for a second date—with both her and her daughter—is the hardest thing she’s ever done. But her history with his brother, and her firm commitment to living a drama-free life for her daughter, means she can’t flirt with, sleep with, or dream about Jake Foster’s younger brother.
Not even if he makes her daughter laugh.
Not even if he seeks her out again and shows her just how interested he is in every part of her life. Because there’s no such thing as a truly secret affair—and Tasha’s done with being anyone’s guilty pleasure.

Sweetly sexy, emotionally thrilling, action packed and heartwarming romantic adventure filled with heart, family, love, laughter and scorching hot passion…..
Matt Foster is sweet, sexy, charming and until recently a total one night of fun and warmth kind of guy…. (recent events have made him look at growing up) Natasha Kingsley is a sassy, sexy, strong and struggling single mom not looking for love. (with a past that includes Matt’s older brother) This is a highly entertaining, engagingly real and hard to put down romance. Loved every heart pounding twist and turn.
This character driven tale grabs your heart from the very beginning. Matt, an EMT, is working every shift they will give him, running miles a week, and has put off women. Natasha has her life self contained. Her young daughter is her focus. Living with her sister, working at a nice bar, taking care of Emily and her niece and nephew. Life is good, if boring. Until she meets Matt.
I like that we really get to know both of these characters. If you’ve read other Pine Harbor books, you know Matt is the party boy, the womanizer. But he’s growing up fast and hard. And Tasha has history with a Foster too. This book doesn’t pull any punches in telling their story. Life is hard even without baddies interfering. People are complex and sometimes our own minds are our biggest foe.
Yeah, this book really makes you think, and worry, and smile, and sigh.
Superb!! I am in LOVE with Pine Harbour!! I was swept and takin’ away into a profoundly moving romance that was sweet, sexy and touched my heart. Matt is a paramedic dealing with some issues left over from his past and Natasha is a single Mom trying to do the best for her daughter while also trying to follow her dream of opening a modern day Inn. I fell in love with Matt, Natasha and Emily, who is sooo adorable!
Two years ago, I discovered a new author (to me anyway), via NetGalley, when I read the phenomenal book Love on a Spring Morning by Zoe York. Love on a Spring Morning was the 3rd book in the Pine Harbour series and let me tell you this…I have been a total fan-girl for Zoe York and her spectacular writing ever since.
Love on the Outskirts of Town is the 7th book in the Pine Harbour series and is the most spectacular of them…. Stop, I cannot continue this thought, because as I am remembering the other books in this series, I have reevaluated this thought. I LOVE the WHOLE series. Right now, Love on the Outskirts of Town is my current favorite because it is most current in my mind.
Natasha and Matt, OMG! WOW!! These two are PERFECT for each other. Each a bit emotionally damaged. They meet, along with Natasha’s daughter Emily, at a cooking class, ok, yes a cooking class. The three of them immediately form a bond. That is until Natasha finds out Matt’s last name….. Sorry ladies, I refuse to spill the beans.
I loved seeing Natasha’s strength, and how she realized her strengths and learned how to compromise and let others help. Matt, I just wanted to hug him to bits and help him through his struggles, sigh…
Thank you, Ms. York, for gift of this total emotional read, for sharing your phenomenal talents with your readers. It was a total page turner for me and helped me through getting my mind off of some struggles I am going through at the moment.
Thank you for reading my review. If you love a great emotional read with total familial impacting story, this book/series is for you. So, what are you waiting for? Go hit that one click button, and enjoy your read.
Zoe York writes stories about hot Alpha men & strong sexy women that touch your heart. They struggle to find their way & have to deal with issues along the way. The stories are about real life issues & conflicts.
Matt Foster is ex-military, a paramedic & a real player. Pickups one night stands are the norm. Until that night. The night everything fell apart. It all started with a routine call to a familiar patient & ended with the military vet striking out. As he was trying to absorb that, his phone rang with the news that his brother was injured in Iraq & no one knew his condition. This began a year of Matt pulling away from anything & everything. Big strong alpha males don’t talk about feelings & definitely not depression. The thing is, they often don’t see what’s going on with themselves. Then he met Natasha & her daughter Emily & things started to change.
Natasha really liked the guy that approached her at cooking class. He was sexy, fun, flirty & friendly. He seemed like someone she would enjoy getting to know, until she found out his last name. She’d hooked up with Matt’s brother Jake once & then, after finding out she was pregnant with some other guy’s kid, thought Jake was someone she could depend on. She knew it was wrong but it still hurt when he pulled away. She couldn’t see anything but heartache in her seeing Jake’s brother not matter how much she liked him. Can they find a way to be together?
