Title: In This Life
Author: Cora Brent
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Things I know about Nash Ryan:
Loner.
Unpredictable.
Wickedly hot.
Unforgiving.
Probably not the kind of man anyone should trust with an infant.
Definitely not the kind of man any woman should trust with her heart.
When Nash returned to town for the sake of his baby brother I thought I already understood who he was.
I also thought I was done giving my heart away until he proved otherwise.
But we don’t stand a chance.
Everything is ready to unravel.
And the secrets I’ve kept will be our undoing.
NASH
This isn’t the first time I’ve known tragedy.
Maybe that’s why I’ve chosen to remain alone.
But my life of solitude ends now because a terrible twist of fate has made me
the guardian of my four-month-old brother.
Suddenly I’ve got a kid to raise and a family business to save and there’s no time for anything else.
That’s why Kathleen Doyle and I made this arrangement.
Once a skinny nerd girl who used to follow me around everywhere, she’s now a single mom with flaming hair, a killer body and too many responsibilities.
We told each other it was just sex.
We told each other there were no strings attached, no expectations.
We lied.
And the consequences will cost us.
But I’m not surrendering this new family without a battle.
Because in this life we might only get one chance to have it all.
Review:
This story stole my heart. Kathleen is raising her 3 year old in her hometown when tragedy strikes. Soon her teenage crush is back in town to take care of his brother. Nash went from a hard man with a troubled past to a softy. I loved watching his transformation. With the help of Kathleen, he is raising a 4 month old, holding down the family business, and opening his heart. I loved how these two thought they were fooling themselves when their hearts really knew what was going on. The love that is held between these will make your heart squeeze tight for the ride.
We told each other there were no strings attached, no expectations.
We lied.
And the consequences will cost us.
But no matter what’s at stake I have no intention of giving up on this family.
Because in this life we might only have once chance to get it right...
