Wow. Matt and Sierra have a lot to work through. The characters are full bodied and well developed. Their twisty, turny drama ridden scenes are worth the read. There is really a lot going on in this story and it keeps you turning the pages. The kids are good secondary characters and nosy momma is too. There is a very good underlying story and it was interesting to read.

This was my first J.L. Lora’s book, and won’t be my last. I loved it! This is a great single mom story, and second chance at love. Matt and Sierra’s story is beautifully written. They are both strong and supportive, and they share a sizzling chemistry. Sierra’s children are so cute! The ending is beautiful. I enjoyed reading it. Jax and Saona are fantastic secondary characters. I can’t wait to read their story in Some Nights, the first book in this amazing series.
This is one book that is very hard to put down. I was sucked in and was kept enchanted until the end. Even through the obstacles that occured. Give this story a try!!

I had not read anything by this author, but really enjoyed this story and will definitely check out her other books. Sierra Torres divorced her cheating husband and is raising their young children, Emmi and Eddie, on her own. Her ex has remarried with a child on the way and seems to have forgotten about his other children. When her car is stolen, Officer Matthew Hunter, a former childhood friend arrives to take the report. He is immediately interested in reconnecting with Sierra and soon proves that he is good for her and the children. They see each other in the mornings when the children are in school, but that doesn’t stop her disagreeable mother from objecting to his presence. Matt has his own family issues. Should he stay away from Sierra for her sake and the children? I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)
Childhood friends Matt and Sierra have not seen each other for years but when her car gets stolen Matt is the policeman who answers the call to investigate. Loved these real characters who are caring around so much baggage but getting to know each other again is just what they both needed. Really great story!

Sierra is a divorced single mom who moved to Baltimore to have a better life for the kids and herself. An incident at work brings the cop and with that an old friend from the neighborhood, Matt. Matt is no longer the hoodlum that she knew. He is a police officer. Both are dealing with family issues and a past that won’t stay that way. They decide to have a morning arrangement but soon feelings start up but can they work through their past for a future together.
A wonderful blend of suspense, romance, and reality. The story line shows the reality of being a divorced single mother juggling all aspects of life and of putting her interest and wants on hold for the sake of the children.

ONE FABULOUS ADVENTURE!!!
Spicy delight! Lora nailed this bad boy perfectly and kept me riveted on a razors edge from start to finish. Speculation, drama, tension, intrigue and suspense set the tone for this nail-biting block buster. Throw in distress, intrigue and turmoil and you have the recipe for disaster. A spinning, twisting vortex of inadvertent events and surprising mishaps catapults your swirling emotions into play fluidly. Leaping through hoops, hurdling the trials and tribulations along with a bounty of plot twists that fuse this bad boy together piece by jagged piece. The characters chemistry sizzles from the pages and suck you in so deeply until you feel the heat and electricity thrumming through your veins. The characters personalities are authentic, genuine and realistic with depth and qualities that are well blended and balanced. With 100% on point realism along with amazing scenarios that are so colorfully described its like you’re living it with them instead of on the sidelines. Fabulous job Lora, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.
A great read from a new author to me. I loved how Sierra and Matt were not perfect characters. They had human foibles and vulnerabilities which made them more real. And when they get together, prepare for steam. There were some interesting ethnic references that I have not encountered before but thoroughly enjoyed. And here I thought Asian mothers were the masters of manipulation! Sierra’s mom was almost villainous. I’m hoping Matt’s police partner gets a story next!

Some Morning by J.L. Lora is the second book in a stand alone series of books starting with Some Nights featuring Jax and Saona this book is for Matt and Sierra. They both were childhood friends together until both of Matt’s brothers cause his family to flee to New Jersey. Until a Sierra’s car is stolen and the officer that is sent is Matt.
Sierra not only got rid of her cheating husband and she’s working as a accountant for her sister’s boyfriend. Having her car stolen wasn’t in the plan though when she sees Matt again who’s now a cop they both wonder if there could be something more. But Matt has a lot of family responsibilities taking a huge portion of his life but it will a sassy Sierra and her kids Eddie and Emmi to show him that he can have his own family again. But don’t think that Sierra’s mother won’t put her two cents in as well as the final conversation with her ex-husband will have you saying “Yay, Sierra! I hope Dahila Wicker (Matt’s partner) and the handsome doctor get their own book.
