Widowed and pregnant, Courtney caught my attention from the first page. After overhearing her in-laws plotting to seize custody of her baby, she sneaked away from their home in the wee hours of the morning. Her destination - her sister's apartment in Ft. Lauderdale. Unfortunately, her car broke down on the way, stranding her on the side of the road. She's rescued by police officer Brigg Harrington, who shelters her in his home.
I enjoyed watching Courtney and Brigg's relationship develop. There is no way Brigg can abandon the pregnant beauty. What he doesn't expect is the compulsion he feels to watch over her or the intense attraction when she is near. At the same time, Courtney tries to bury the feelings Brigg stirs in her. The last thing she wants is to fall for another man with a dangerous job.
They cannot deny the connection they feel from the beginning, nor their fast friendship. But Courtney is still determined to continue to her sister's place. However, the baby's early arrival keeps her in town longer than planned. Brigg shows Courtney that he is interested in seeing where their relationship is going, but she is wary of risking her heart again. Brigg's plan for twenty-eight dates while they wait for Jayson to get out of the hospital is a clever way for them to get to know each other better. I loved seeing Brigg fall under the baby's spell.
A tense situation that put Brigg in danger resurrected Courtney's fears, driving a wedge between them. I ached for both as they faced the future without each other. I loved seeing their loved ones help them see past the obstacles keeping them apart with some well-placed advice. The conclusion was sweet and emotional.
I liked spending more time with the Harrington family. The dynamics between the brothers are fun - lots of teasing but all the support needed when things get tough. It was fun to see the couples from the earlier books, especially watching the brothers give advice to Brigg.

A good feel good romance, but did include some unexpected entanglements without the confines of marriage. I deduced a point value for the premarital fellowship. Courtney, you will just love her. A damsel in distress and along comes a solidified bachelor in the person of Brigg Harrington. A good man, a good man from a family of stand up men. Her story is well woven, you fall in love with her and just want everything to work out for her. She had some obstacles that were real hurdles, but her positive outlook kept her moving forward. The novel was a good length, and the author told their story in a progressive style.

Good read
Good read, I liked the characters and story. Courtney a pregnant widow fleeing her controlling in-laws, meets a handsome police officer Brigg, when her broke down during the start of a hurricane. This is their journey, to friendship and a forever love. I look forward to the next installment on the Harrington brothers.

True Romance
Job well done! If love at first sight were a set of characters, then Brigg and Courtney are the images. Gripping from beginning to end with drama, instant attraction , and life doing its thing, especially familia love and unity. Worthy read for the summer at home ,the beach, a park , or by the pool. Love a good HEA
