Fake Husband, Real Protector—But is He Ready to Be a Daddy to Another Man's Baby?
I had it all figured a kickass job and a boyfriend who treated me like a queen. Then a tiny pink plus sign blew up my world. Turned out Mr. Perfect was all fake—actually Mr. Big-Shot Mogul of Seattle, married with kids, and not about to let a little thing like me mess up his picture-perfect life. He wanted me to get rid of the child, so I had just one choice to make—I ran.
Just when I thought I was cornered, Nick Wallace—a cop with eyes stormy as a winter sea—swept in with a lifeline I couldn't ignore. He proposed a marriage of convenience, a safe harbor from the storm unleashed by my past. It was supposed to be one simple rule, 'Don’t fall in love.' But, you know how it goes—rules are made to be broken.
As our faux-marriage spirals into something real, the past is catching up fast. And it's got teeth. Can we survive the truth, or will our secrets be our undoing?
**** This is a standalone full-length BWWM Romance with a HEA. ****
Detective Nick had tremendous guilt because he couldn't save his wife and child. But it didn't seem he would be able to save Cass and her child either. I also didn't like how Gideon brutalized Cass with the police right there in the hallway.
In addition, they each had a hard time expressing how they really felt about one another.
This book easily stole my heart. It's a powerful combination of love and romance that did my heart good. I really enjoyed the characters they are so amazing. I must say the story is fantastic and a excellent addition to a great series. There is only a minor amount of drama but tons of emotions and with a little intrigue which makes this a delightful tale truly. The character development is lovable which makes the characters passionate, sizzling hot and sexy, yes this is a feel good romance and thanks so much for that. Also the story is sweet, heartwarming, entertaining and sometimes sad to read but I enjoyed their journey. I totally recommend you read this magnificent story which I hope is the beginning of a series!!!
I really enjoyed reading this book,it had everything in it action,suspense and romance with a bit of humor. It was a very enjoyable story which I would absolutely recommend to anyone who enjoy al the things I mentioned. Great job Ms. Cole as usual, and thank you.
I'm writing this review just to say I enjoyed the story line. MS Cole did an excellent job with the characters by making Cass sensible. Many times the female is so stubborn and independent to point of being stupid but Cass handled a difficult and frightening situation like a pro, I loved it and Nick was absolutely dreamy. You won't be disappointed if you download this book. Enjoy!!!
Spoiler Alert -So chapter 8 almost made stop reading this book. This was the absolute worst response to finding out someone lost their wife and unborn child. She basically had him apologizing for not being open about HIS loss and grief. Who does that? I’m pushing past it but that whole chapter was idiotic.
Wow! This book had the right amount of angst, suspense, love and happily ever after! I loved Cass’s level headed character and Nick’s protectiveness. Even though Gideon was after her and they, her and Nick, were on the run, they fell in love. And even though I would NEVER name a child Marigold, this is their story and a great one at that!
The storyline was touching and heart warming. The characters details felt real and like a real friendships. My imagination was able to flow like I was one of the characters.
It was ok but I swear the last five books ive read.. the black women have been given gray or golden, green eyes.. what’s up with that? Most black women have brown eyes . What’s up with this new trend?
This book had me in so many twist and turns that I didn’t know what was coming. But I just want to know did anybody else thought the Chief had a hand in it???? Please someone that read this amazing novel respond back.
It was an original plot that held my attention through the entire read. Interesting characters, including the secondary characters. A recommended read.
This was an excellent storyline. Nick was selfless in helping her. I'm glad that she decided to let him help her. Still have some questions but the story was beautiful.
