Tia I’ve been running to escape my past, the scars my father caused, and my mistakes for years. After my daughter’s biological father died, I took her and ran, leaving the only person who cared for me behind: my best friend, Rocko. Before I left, he confessed his love for me and wanted to help raise my baby girl. He was an amazing football player and had a shot at going pro. I couldn’t ask him to give up those dreams for a child who wasn't his. I ran and didn’t look back. Years later, when I get a call that my mother is sick, I’m forced to go back and face my past. That’s where I see him. Everywhere. And this time, I’m not running. Rocko I live a simple life. I own a popular auto body shop in my small town that my brother Tommy and I inherited from our Pops. My future was all mapped out for me. The dream was to play pro football. Only it wasn’t my dream. My dream ran off when I was seventeen and took my heart with her. Since then, I could never settle down. I’m envious of my brother. He has a family. Wife and kids. Something I had only ever wanted with one woman. Now she’s back, and there’s no escaping her. I'm not letting her walk away this time. I am taking what has always been mine. Tia Kane.
Ever since I read Mr. & Mrs. Robison I just knew I had to have Tia’s and Rocko’s story. When I got the email that I was picked for an ARC I was so dang happy. As soon as I got the book I started to read it. You get every question you have about them answered and even more. The big twist had me gasping. The spice was so good! I love getting to know Tia because in the other two books, you really either hate Tia or you dont understand her. And now you even to understand why she did what she did. I will always love Jessica Lee’s books.
This is the third book from Jessica Lee that I have read. Before I read Mr. Robinson then Mrs. Robinson. Those books also have Tia and Rocko because they are the family of the main characters. Now in fighting for us we can understand them and know more about them in depth. All the things that I wanted to know from the previous stories are answered here and even include an amazing twist. Tia’s way of dealing with any sort of problem of trauma is by running away. Then poor Rocko no matter what he did he never got over his first love. The plot is well written and developed. The characters are detailed and come together beautifully. The author Jessica Lee again did not disappoint. I highly recommend her books, don’t walk run to get all three you will not be disappointed. They are so good that I read each in a day when I received them.
Okay, so since reading Mr. Robinson, I was HOOKED! I was one of the ones who had a strong dislike for Tia through most of that duet until her daughter Chelsea got on my nerves more. This book... Tias and Rocko's story answered so many questions and gave so much insight into their past. Helped to understand more. But my problem now? I actually want to know more of Connors' story AFTER the ending of all the current books!!
Love this book! This was my first book by this author, so I went in blind from the previous books with no backstory. This book had me feeling all the things. I am glad they finally worked it out over the years. I will be going back and reading the duet, and hope Connor gets his HEA too.
This book will keep you on the edge of your seat! This book was so well written. Tia ans Rocko's story came together beautifully. Tons of questions from the Mr. Robinson duet are answered. I was not disappointed with this read at all.
