Wow! This story was a complete surprise to me. I picked it up while it was on sale. I love those stories that feature our military guys after they retire from their time in the military. This story we get Reece who retired about a year ago and is now finally starting a new job with Rogue Security. He interviewed over 6 months ago.
Delia is the office manager for Rogue, her father’s company. After years of growing up with a horrible mother, she finally moved away and now works for her dad.
There is an age difference of 13 years between these two. Some parts of the story were predictable, like how these two meet 6 months ago, had a one night stand and then she ends up pregnant only to learn that the father is a new employee. But then the storyline progresses really well. You get sucked into the story, with the main characters as well as the minor characters. I can’t wait to read the 2nd book.
What a great start to a new series, I have never read any of Evan Grace’s books but if this is what her other books are like I’m going in.
I loved both the characters of Reece and Delilah, they were both so strong in their own way. Delilah had such a horrible upbringing with her mother, constantly being belittled and without any love. Even though she is still young in years, mentally she is so much more mature. After her one-night stand resulted in a pregnancy, she pulled her big girl panties up and took on the responsibility as a single mother. I did not like how Reece just left after the night with Delilah, but once he found out he was going to be a father, his protective instinct switched on and he was all in.
This book really had it all, great main characters, great secondary characters (I can’t wait to read their stories!), a bit of suspense, hot chemistry and a wonder HEA. I would recommend this book.
I really enjoyed Delilah and Reece’s stories. I’m looking forward into delving into Shayla and Erik’s next. Evan Grace was a new to me author prior to reading this one and I recommend the story to others. Romance, sexy, and suspense.
