With Babies on the way, they just make their home bigger.

The MC, Baxter’s, Princes and Protectors make appears throughout the book. Gerren and Alex Lapointe-James becomes best friends. Gerren becomes the goodwill ambassador for the EROP neighborhood. Loved how they were included, just enough to know were they are and what they are doing. How they view the EROP commanders.
A fast paced, sweet and steamy, funny, with some LOL movements, sock monkey’s and SEX again, emotional story. Loved Ford and Telia’s story
This is a phenomenal book that has its emotional ups and downs, but leave you with such an overwhelming feeling of hope! I love how you can feel the closeness between Ford and Telia and they aren’t just jumping into bed. I love seeing this more sensitive side to Ford. He was always observant and saw what others did, but there is something about the way L Ann writes his feelings that just grabs my heart. We finally learn if Ford has native ancestry. The way she reveals it to us is profound. It is awesome the was Telia grows to be ready to stick up for herself. I absolutely adore the way that Ford and Telia talk to each other. Their emotion-filled conversations are part of why I think this could be my new favorite.
I love the interaction with the MC/Princes guys. We still keep getting peeks of them despite their series being over.
I can’t wait for the next book in this series!
Heartbreaking, heartwarming and so much more.
Ford has a past that’s not so nice and with the help of his new “family” he is growing and learning to let people in. When one of his friends steps forward with information he could only hope for he feels his life is moving forward.
Telia is a gifted artist that has no clue she is as talented as she is. Getting lost in her work has her labeled as “deficient” by people that don’t know all she is capable of.
I’ve enjoyed all the Providence series so far but Ford has held a special place for me from the beginning. A great storyline with a H & h that you will love and secondary characters that bring the story to life. Well worth the read.
