Cassandra Clarke, fresh out of college and living on her own,
isolates herself from the humiliation that rocked her world a year earlier.
Everything in her life is simple and easy until Logan West, the
single father full of mystery and sex appeal, moves into the empty estate next
door. A guy who easily attracts the attention of available women in town with
one carefree smile.
Cassandra is not looking for another heartbreak and stands her
ground, but finds it impossible to stay away from the charming stranger when
his four-year-old son, Oliver, takes an interest in her childhood tree house.
It is through Oliver where Cassandra’s eyes begin to open to a
side of Logan very few people know. The rough edges and arrogant front shed
away, leaving the compassionate, yet broken side of him exposed, and finally
opening the possibilities to a genuine friendship.
A friendship that is constantly shaken by the undeniable
connection building between them.
With temptation
arising every time they are near, Cassandra fights to remind herself exactly
why Logan isn’t capable of loving her the way she deserves, or is he?

Review
When I first saw the synopsis of this story, I was
intrigued. Admit it, who doesn’t find a guy with a kid attractive? Especially a
guy who really adores his kid! So right away, I was drawn to this story. Then I
got a text from a friend that had just finished it and she was saying how good
of a story it was. So when I started this story, I was really expecting it to
be good! And I wasn’t disappointed.
There were a few predictable parts, but what book doesn’t have those? The story itself was unique, intriguing, and held my attention. From the minute I started, I had a hard time putting it down! I loved seeing the interactions both Cassandra and Logan had with Oliver. Oliver is such a lovable little guy!
There were tons of twists I didn’t expect the story
to take! I liked the fact that they really were building up a friendship and
not just jumping in to bed together. Then there was Cassandra’s ex. He’s a
jerk, plain and simple. I really don’t like that guy at all! He’ll get what is
coming to him one day… I hope. As well
as Logan’s ex. She really needs her rear handed to her because she is NOT a
nice person!
My only complaint? There’s a cliffhanger. We have to
wait until fall for the conclusion of their story! :sigh:

Excerpt
With an
unwavering gaze, I slowly ran my fingers across my stomach and up to the
shoulder over my slip. Caressing the silky fabric of the strap, I bit my bottom
lip and smoothly slid it over my sun-bronzed shoulder. My lips twitched into a
ghost of a smile.
Tentatively
my finger hooked under the second strap, my breath ragged as my body reacted to
the sight of his tongue darting out and licking his lips. My confidence grew
with every movement he made, and without hesitation, I slid down the strap. I
held the gown to my chest, not willing to fully treat him to an undeserving
meal as I turned around to face the pool.
Laughing
softly to myself at my brazen actions, I released my hand allowing the slip to
fall lasciviously down over my hips and pool at my feet.
