A sweet and lovely story that really pulled at my heart strings. Gabe and Taylor help young Daisy out during labour, and look after Baby Rose for a period of time. Baby Rose helped so many hearts heal.
Such a sweet story about finding love close to home. Taylor James is the local law and lives in a duplex owned by her sexy landlord and doctor, Gabriel Adams. Wonderful characters and story to keep you flipping the pages!
Enjoyed the book only slightly because characters were developed much too slowly. It was a slow read without much interesting activity with the main characters. Both characters were wishy washy and left me less interested in their outcome
Loved it!
This was a really enjoyable read. The “created” family was sweet. The chemistry & attraction between Taylor & Gabe was captivating even with sizzling sex scenes. It left me wanting more backstop on Taylor’s homelife growing up.
US Marshall Taylor James is just the temporary sheriff for Angel Point, with no plans to stay long-term. She splits a duplex with Gabe Adams, a flirtatious OB doc who never dates the same woman twice. They’re just friends, but when Gabe witnesses yet another failed date of Taylor’s, she asks him for dating advice. They skirt around the edges of a growing attraction, but neither one wants to commit to more.
Things change when Taylor is called to help a teenaged girl in labor at the bus station. Taylor gets her to the hospital, where Gabe delivers the baby girl. The mother names her Rose. When she abandons the baby at the hospital, putting Gabe’s name on the birth certificate, Gabe decides to take temporary custody until he can find her a good two-parent permanent family. Since he had leukemia as a child, he lives in fear of it coming back, and wants no long-term commitments–especially with a child…or a woman who’s leaving town when her current sheriff’s term is up. He doesn’t want to leave anyone behind if he gets sick again.
Taylor decides to help Gabe with Rose, and can’t help thinking he’d make a wonderful father. How to convince him to stop living in fear and just embrace what he has?
This is a sweet contemporary romance, at turns funny and sad. I loved the small town setting and the cast of characters. Angel Point is a town I’d love to visit and hang out in. I enjoyed getting to know the residents and look forward to seeing them getting their own unique HEAs. Taylor and Gabe were a great couple, and watching them go from friends to lovers–and deal with baby Rose–was an enjoyable journey. I would recommend this book to my friends.
I received this book for free as part of the Goddess Fish Book Blog Promotion Tour.
Heartwarming
a little too predictable and moved slowly
I enjoyed the book and liked the characters, I thought it ended too soon, one page and it was done.
