Isaiah
I had my chance at a family and it was stolen from me.
I was told I was a joke, so that’s just what I’ll be.
But then she gives me news that turns my whole life upside down. Nina Williams is my second chance at a family and she might just be the missing key to my heart. I just need to prove to her I’m not the joke I pretend to be.

After the loss of my parents, I’m all my brother and sister have. I’m trying to piece my family back together.
I wasn’t ready to start a family of my own.
One night with Isaiah Cole changed all my plans. He’s nothing like I thought he was and I feel happy in his arms.
But happiness isn’t built to last.

4/5
- I think that I can officially say I’m an accidental pregnancy trope lover after reading this book! There was the perfect balance of the pregnancy along with other life struggles that each character faced as well as their romantic connection! Loved the balance.
- This was such a fast paced read and a book that was so hard to put down. I really hope that this author comes out with another book soon because I love her writing!
- If you enjoyed Next of Kin or Out of a Limb by Hannah B Young you’ll love this one because not only does it have accidental pregnancy, but it also includes the parentless child trope!

A Sweet Love
This was a sweet book, a very wholesome read. 3.5 stars
Nina and Isaiah finally gave into the heat, the chemistry they felt between each other and ended up with a little more than a night of fun. Nina's world has been forever changed with becoming guardians of her brother and sister, but now throw a big monkey wrench in the mix and she realizes her life will never be the same. Isaiah is the fun, loving friend and brother that doesn't seem to take much serious. However, when given the chance he loves on Nina's family hard. My favorite part was the relationship he built with both Jada and Logan. He was there for them when they truly needed it.
This book was well written, loving, and crazy sweet but I like my love stories with a lot more spice. and to me it could have been 100 pages shorter. I also wish the author used more descriptors for her characters, I literally couldn't picture any of them. The author spent a lot of time describing Nina's clothes, but not how she looked in them. She had natural curls, but was she slim or thick, was she dark brown? I needed more. What did baby girl Jada look like? The most we got about Logan was that he was tall and brown? These people could have been anyone anywhere. The baby was born and who did she look like? I think the lack of description of the characters was a big miss. Usually with a black romance, I can relate of feel connected to them, and I just didn't get that with this book. It also just felt so long, most likely because this just wasn't a book for me. If you are looking for a mild, sweet romance with some feels this book is probably right up your alley.

Becoming the sole guardian to her 14 year old brother and 6 year old sister was not on Nina’s BINGO card but, here we are. Since the sudden death of her parents, Nina has been doing her best to navigate Jada and Logan’s grief, her own grief, and trying to be a better parent than her own parents were. Recognizing their friend is stretched thin and in dire need some much needed me time, Nina’s besties gift her with a child free weekend to do whatever she pleases. And what, or should I say who, she pleases to do is Isaiah Cole. 😏😏😏😏 Nina and Isaiah learned very quickly doing grown up things comes with grown up consequences and, now, these two have some grown up decisions to make. What was suppose to be a simple one night stand turned into the HEA Nina and Isaiah didn’t know they were both longing for. The family they created was absolutely beautiful and I love that for them. Where We Found Our Heart was a swoon worthy follow-up to book one and worth all of your time. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Nina x Isaiah ❤
I have no words. But damn it I will try. But before I dive into this review, I have to say this. Don't sleep on Natasha Bishop. I'm not sure if she has any other books besidde the 2 in this series, but sis can write. She wrote the heck out of this book.
If ever there was a woman who needed and deserving of love, it was Nina. I've never wanted to hug a fictional character as much as I wanted to hug Nina. She was the definition of selfless. She gave her entire all. Isaiah!! Wow. The way he matured throughout the story was beautiful. It was such an amazing journey to watch (read) him grow up to this amazing person. He was so self-aware and I loved that. He loves with his entire being. But I will say, the whole thing in Arizona, I wasn't a fan. Didn't care for how he handled it. But it worked out. This was such an AMAZING story. Just like the first story, I felt and saw everything the author was trying to convey through everything tears, anger and laughter. The early 90s references were a breath of fresh air. I've mentioned before that I love sappy love stories, this book wasn't that. This was real life executed so so beautifully. The friendship between Nina, Ciara, Sasha and shoot even Brittany, Simone and Sara was everything 💖.
I don't know if I'm qualified to make demands, but I need a story for Dom and possibly Brittany together(?), Shane, shoot, even Reggie and a holiday special to know how the gang is doing. CAN'T WAIT for Kai and Olivia's story.
10⭐
This goes without saying but PLEASE, READ THIS BOOK!!

Wow! With Nina and Isaiah, I fell in love. They were tested along the way, and it was not an easy path, but love triumphs. After a passionate night, Nina and Isaiah's lives were forever altered. As Isaiah grew as a person It was lovely to see him change as the story progressed. Reading about how his family came together to support him was very beautiful. He is a completely selfless lover. The way he healed Nina, Jada, and Logyn's hearts and helped them recover from their experiences with parental trauma. Sideeyeing Monica and Alexis weird ass. Though He was emotionally traumatized, and I'm here for a flawed character, Isaiah should have handled the incident better. The mother, sister, and all-around Nina! How she managed to endure I don't know how she found love and managed to stay sane throughout it all.

“Thank you.”…….“For what?”……..“For showing me it’s possible for your heart to beat outside of your chest.”
Ya’llllllll my boo Zayzay *in my Jada voice* done growed up *no typo* 🥰🥰 ……We got a brief introduction into Isaiah and Nina’s story in book one so I was already hyped when I found out book two would be about them. The way I loved these two is an understatement!!
Aiight so boom Nina is living her best life being the young 20 something bad aśs bar manager that she is then out of nowhere her world is turned upside down and inside out when she becomes the sole caretaker of her 6 and 14 year old siblings! Now as an overnight parent navigating her own grief, the grief of her siblings AND being a “new mom” she doesn’t know if she’s coming or going but let me just say, sis killed it!! She might’ve been crumbling on the inside but she made it look effortless on the outside.
Then we have Isaiah, the jokester and baby of his siblings. He’s always been known as the brother that takes nothing seriously but outside of his big brother Linc, no one knows the REAL reason why! After getting his heartbroken he refuses to allow another woman to get remotely close to him. That is until Nina!….She turned KP OUT!! 😏🤭
These two turned one night of fun into a lifetime of pleasure and I loved Izzy’s transformation! (Yes the man had more nicknames than the law should allow)🤣🤣🤣……. It was a rocky start but he pulled it together!
Alexis and Monica were straight trash and poor Isaiah was a casualty of their war! I’m glad he was able to free himself from the heaux activities! THEY TRIED IT!!!! Read the book!
Natasha good job sis 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

The Perfect Blend
This lost and found series, let's just say I'm fully invested. It started with Ciara and Lincoln but now insert Isaiah and Nina. Ms. Bishop, I feel like you have perfected just enough drama in your stories to keep us engaged already. The foolery that Monica and Alexis brought was over the top. They were more friends than enemies because they kept the lies coming to try to string along Isaiah. I am glad that Nina could see right through it because she can tell when women are trifling. Isaiah and Nina, we're meant for each other. It was so obvious in the first installment, they were like magnets. I admire how Isaiah stepped up to the plate for Jada and Logan. They needed a mother and father figure in their young lives. I can't quite figure out what type of time Nina's parents were on but they traumatized those kids. Logan was acting like a fully grown man at fourteen years old. And Jada was a ball of energy that adhered to Logan because he was her "father figure." Nina was put in a tough situation having to raise her siblings but it was the best thing that ever happened to them. They got to be kids and have a real mother and father figure in their lives. You can literally feel the kids flourishing as you read the book. I am so glad that Isaiah and Nina stopped running and got themselves together. Both deserved the love that the other was more than willing to give. At one point I didn't think Isaiah was going to step up to the plate but he did. He came through and smacked a home run. On top of everything else the family is growing little Bianca is going to have all kinds of sisterly and brotherly love. Nina and Isaiah have made the perfect blended family, with Isaiah adopting Jada and Logan which was the ultimate power move.
I am anticipating this next installment because it seems that Kai's heart is into this soccer player Olivia. It appears that he would move a mountain to be in her life again. Ladies and gentlemen we have a new author in the literary world and she is coming in 🔥. Get into this series you would be glad you did.

Isaiah and Nina!! These two have had chemistry since the first book in this series, but things come to a head for them at a family wedding. A one night stand brings them together, until something happens the next morning that leaves Nina giving Isaiah the cold shoulder. Besides, she has enough going on managing a bar and raising her brother and sister after their parents died.
But all of that changes when that pregnancy tests says positive!!
While Nina and Isaiah had a connection before the pregnancy, this was the event that allowed them to truly sit down and see beyond each other’s walls. Isaiah had a chance at a family but it was robbed from him in the past. Meanwhile Nina feels like she has to do it all alone and hates asking for help. Both of them realize they’re going to have to not let their insecurities rule them, but instead lean on the other for love and support.
These two had so much in common, from their desire to create a family to their humor and love of movies. Once they decided to be together, it wasn’t easy for them, but they loved each other enough to always work through their miscommunication to be on the same page. The family they created was absolutely beautiful, and they both deserved the HEA!
TROPES: black romance/BIPOC/OWN voices; surprise pregnancy; single mom/guardian (heroine raising young brother and sister after parents died); found family; great friend group; hero with emotional trauma
TRIGGER WARNINGS: parental neglect; cheating (not between H/h)

Omg!!! I can’t believe it took me so long to read this!!! This was absolutely amazing. As if I didn’t already stan Natasha Bishop but Nina and Isaiah’s story was pure perfection. This story brought me to tears literally and they were happy ones.
I love love cute moments that mimic some of my fave movies but in Black. It’s all the feels. This story was so well written, with lots of funny moments and banter, which I personally love 2nd best to the actual love story, and very emotional.
This gets a 5 star from me. I laughed, cried, got mad, cried and then laughed again.

So essentially in Natasha Bishop’s Austin Texas all forms of contraception is faulty, since the pill and the condom used during their one night of passion didn’t prevent the pregnancy. Nina and Isaiah are attracted to each other and finally act on their attraction and find themselves in a ready made family. Of course they of fight their attraction only give in and live for three weeks as the most happiest couple in the world, with cute nicknames and all. Then per usual the proverbial shoe drops and Nina questions their relationship and Isaiah’s intentions. Which is the underlay for the overlay so Isaiah can do his grand gesture. Of course we get our happy ending and it’s on to book three. This little series is cute or whatever but Ms. Bishop did her big one with Only for the Week. And these stories do not compare.

Loved every minute
I truly enjoyed this story. Nina and Isaiah are the cutest with a very realistic response to a tough situation. I love Nina’s commitment to her siblings and love Isaiah struggling but confronting the issues of his past. Worth the read!

SWOON AND SQUEAL FOREVER! Isaiah and Nina are everything and even more than I was expecting. The swoon, the laughs and ─oh my goodness, the steam of this book... They all blew my mind just when I thought it couldn't get better than that! This story was full of emotion and true family love and I just can't handle all the feelings and I really have no words to!
I was already obsessed with this amazing fictional world. The introduction that we have in book 1 was absolute perfection, but this book dives so much deeper into the characters, their friendships and the family bond they have, it was the most perfect setting for such a beautiful, funny and heartwarming story!
Nina is everything I was expecting her to be, badass, take-shit-from-no-one, courageous, caring and funny as hell heroine! The woman deserves a standing ovation, she was carrying the weight of the entire world on her shoulders, she was selfless and loved her siblings Logan and Jada sacrificially. She showed since the start how great of a mother she was and the heart of a warrior she had by putting Jada and Logan first and doing everything she could to see them well and happy, no matter what she had to sacrifice. I loved how from the beginning she wasn't afraid of asking Isaiah what she needed and wanted and wasn't shy to take it! I was rooting for her the entire time, so I understood every doubt and hesitation she had, but also made me squeal as she let Isaiah slowly (and oh, so deliciously) tear her walls down to take care of her ─not because she wasn't capable of taking care of herself, but because she deserved a guy who wanted to ease the load she had and that could love her unconditionally like Isaiah did.
Isaiah. My love, my dear sweet Isaiah! This man was perfection in all sense of the world. He had so much love inside of him, so much hurt and wounds that were stopping him from giving his heart away completely... My lower lip hurts because I was biting it so hard the entire time reading how this man fell absolutely in love with Nina and the kids.
He had so much to give but so much fear, it was heartwarming and sweet to see him giving his all to prove how worthy he was of Nina's love and trust. He had a heart of service not only for Nina but for others too, he definitely deserved to be the father of Nina's baby after so much heartache and disappointment in his love life. His inner dialogue was one of my favorite things, I could see his doubts, hesitations, fears and insecurities so clearly, made me root for him all the way as he had to make tough decisions and risks that put him in very difficult situations, but his sweet heart of gold always knew what to do, and that led to such beautiful and romantic gestures that made me melt!
The are so many aspects of their relationship and the story overall that I love, but one that stood out the most to me was how hilarious it was, I'm so impressed with how beautifully Natasha made the switch from the suspense of book one to an amazing rom com as this! It was so fitting to Nina and Isaiah's personality and relationship. They had such a great chemistry together, not only because of the connection they experienced while getting ready to have a baby or the amazing sexy times they had, but also because their relationship was so fun and natural.
Their interactions and dialogue were written so well that I could feel the comfort and ease they had around one another. Even when things got hard between them and they had to face their own demons and insecurities, they still had this family vibe around them because that's what they were from the very start, the real, loving family Nina and the kids needed and the one Isaiah wanted and thought he had lost. That emotional aspect plus the laugh out loud moments (I've said this many times, it's so hard for me to laugh with books, this one made me crack up hard several times) made the perfect blend for Nina and Isaiah to have an amazing journey that made their happy ever after absolutely worth the wait for both of them and the kids. Believe me, I shed a couple of tears the first time I read the ending because it's an ending that belongs in a movie!
I need to mention how much I loved Jada and Logan, these two kids were the sweetest in the world! They broke my heart and pieced it back together several times, they had gone through so much heartache. I loved how real and pure they were and how naturally they fitted with Isaiah as a family. The way they welcomed him with open arms to their lives was to die for! They needed him as much as he needed them and the true love they shared was the most emotional aspect of this story that made the romance stand out even more!
I also loved to read every stage of the pregnancy, it was a different kind of swoon and connection seeing them sharing all of these moments while seeing their little bean grow and strengthening their bond and also their bond as a family. There are so many sweet pieces of dialogue and little details around this that made me let out tiny little squeals and my heart flutter. Believe me when I tell you this was one of the most perfect surprise pregnancy romance I've ever read!
The anticipation and intrigue for book 3 is out of this world to the point of being needy!
The feelings I have for this beautiful are so many and so strong, I feel lucky to have read it a couple of months ago and now again as an ARC. My girl, Natasha Bishop is an talented writer, a beautiful storyteller and knows the perfect formula to make my heart jump with every single detail! I can't wait to see what she has in store for us.

The anticipation and intrigue for book 3 is out of this world to the point of being needy!
The feelings I have for this beautiful are so many and so strong, I feel lucky to have read it a couple of months ago and now again as an ARC. My girl, Natasha Bishop is an talented writer, a beautiful storyteller and knows the perfect formula to make my heart jump with every single detail! I can't wait to see what she has in store for us.

Let me start off by saying that if you're expecting to find a shy and weak heroine who needs a man to save the day, move right on along. This is not the book for you. But if you're looking for a heroine who has the heart and soul of a warrior, you've come to the right place.
I have so many things to say about Isaiah but let me start with Nina first because she truly stole the book for me. Nina is one incredibly strong, protective, and loving woman. Even when things are crumbling to pieces around her, she manages to wipe her tears and move forward. She isn't the type to wallow or lick her wounds because the whole time she's thinking about everyone else's first. It was refreshing to read a single-mom trope where she isn't a "single-mom" to her own child but to her brother and sister and she gives everything she's got in her to them. On top of all of this, she's hilarious. Her comebacks to Isaiah and the way she brought him down a notch when he thought he was all that had me rolling.
"You have to trust that you can give him the power to destroy you and know that he won't abuse it because he's giving you the same power over him."
Now for Isaiah. Oh wow. Talk about the most unexpected diamond in the rough. In the first book where Isaiah and Nina are introduced, I didn't think Isaiah had so many layers. Delicious and deep layers. He loves with all his heart and while he knows he has the reputation of being a jokester, he's so set on proving everyone wrong where it counts. You know how they say that most comedians are the ones who've dealt with deep trauma? Well, there's a case to be made for Isaiah in the same regard.
This review cannot be complete without some words about this author. Seriously Natasha, I'm awed by your talent. The way you mix humor into your poignant stories, the way you build out side characters, the way you make us fall in love with wounded MCs. You've got serious chops and I am most definitely a fan. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.

Swoon!
I loved Nina. She was all sass and attitude and I laughed out loud many times. (SOD, anyone?🤣🤣 ) And the way Isaiah off-set her personality with his cocky, sweet self? Magic.
If you're into . . .
"I want to be yours, one hundred percent. Mind, body, and soul."Wow, so author Natasha Bishop is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Where We Found Our Heart was a total swoon-fest even though - and don't tell anyone this - surprise babies are not my favorite trope. Ms. Bishop pulled it off spectacularly.

"Nina, you don't have to explain. If you have needs, I'm more than capable of taking care of them for you."These two pushed each other's buttons like crazy - in good and bad ways. It made for both delicious and poignant reading.
I've handed this man the power to completely break me, and he's doing just that.Plus, Nina's siblings provided a ton of sweet and fun moments. Just an all-round wonderful read.
If you're into . . .
✔ contemporary romance. . . you've found your next read!
✔ lots of laughs
✔ a surprise baby
✔ a strong friend group
✔ a fun-loving, yet dominant hero
✔ a bad-ass, in-your-face heroine
✔ off the charts chemistry

I loved the second installment in the Where We Found our…. Series.
Nina is doing her best to hold down the bar she manages as well as raise her younger siblings after a tragic accident took her parents lives a few months ago. Logan and Jada suffered parental neglect before Nina intervened, yet they are struggling to come out of their shells now that Nina is providing the safety, security, love and nurturing that has been missing for years.
Enter Nina’s one night stand with Isaiah, her best friends brother-in-law, and considered a jokester by their friends and family.
An planned pregnancy, they used condoms and birth control, forces Isaiah and Nina into a relationship neither was seeking.
Yet, some of the best things in life happen when you least expect it.
If you like humor, (cosmic humor = condom and birth control pills both failing), complex family and friend dynamics, you will enjoy this book as much as I did.

It had so much potential and fell short. Nina’s character is a bit of a reach for me. She is a strong woman who’s taking on a huge responsibility but you chose to fuck Isaiah and once he got a taste of you he wouldn’t let go. He was transparent from the start and everytime he is not at 100% you try to put the blame on him. Girl be for real! He could have potentially had a baby that he didn’t know for 5 years and you’re throwing a tantrum because he didn’t make it back in time, you’re doing the upmost. You should have supported him in getting Jada to understand especially because in life, people are going to fall short and make mistakes and Isaiah is nothing like your parents. It’s all annoying. Ciara is a good friend though. Nina keeps assuming over and over again when all she has to do is ask Isaiah and he will be forthcoming. Her brother and sister are in therapy but she needs it too. Of course there is a happy ending involved but I do like the Cole men.

It's books like this that can change your mind about a trope. Friends to lovers is quickly becoming my new favorite.
From Nina's taste in music and movies and a heart so giving, I have never wanted to be besties with a heroine more! Isaiah is a book boyfriend to remember as he transitions from playboy and jokester to seriously in love (and seriously swoony!) Where We Found Our Heart is a book about faith and falling, even when you swear not to. It's funny, delicious, heart-aching, and heart-filling. Basically a perfect sophomore novel from a talented author.
The teases of other relationships/books coming makes me so damn happy. I can't wait for more in this series centered around this amazing found family.

So this was just one of those books that started off good but then just fell off. First of all I did not read book 1, so I was confused as fuck. There was abt 15 different characters and since I did not read book 1 I was just confused. I eventually knew who everyone is but I wouldn’t rec this book as a standalone? Anyways now to the actual book, it started off with a bang like sex scene within first 30 ish pages. Then this book is a pregnancy book/pregnancy trope. I mostly enjoyed it like their relationship was nice i liked the kids. My issue was the ending, it kinda felt like the author ran out of steam and the ending was just people fighting to fight and I did not like it. It had the ending just dragging so much for me and I was just ready for it to be done.

Another winner from Natasha Bishop!! By the time I was 10% into this book, I had already laughed out loud, swooned and fanned myself. I absolutely LOVED Nina and Isaiah together (their first hookup scene was pure gold!). Nina is a bold and unapologetic heroine and Isaiah complements her with his jokes and heart of gold. This book has loads of witty banter, off the charts chemistry and plenty of heat.
I loved catching up with the crew from the author’s debut. I cannot wait for Kai’s book and anything else Natasha Bishop plans to write in the future!

I loved another of this author's books so much that I read this one without vetting it first bc I love the adoption/caretaker trope. 😭 Big mistake.
OW drama is this story's meat and potatoes, and there aren't just one, but two OW, AND a possible kid, AND this guy can't get his priorities straight at the worst possible times. This FMC had the patience of a saint, was 100% understanding of his need to fly out to find out the truth. And then he abandoned and mostly ghosted them for 8 days to play daddy to a kid that MIGHT be his while the mom very unsubtly tried to keep him in her home and tempt him back, and he was shocked when the FMC and her siblings/guardianees (whatever the word is for that) all finally had enough of his thoughtlessness. This is after he'd spent at least the month prior already partially ghosting her before he'd even left on the trip, because apparently the man can't handle simply sending emails (the only way he could contact the ex) to someone and also being present in daily life. Oh the complexities of being an adult.
The FMC's reasons for not wanting to trust him after that were so valid, and it made me angry that the bsf tried to talk her out of it like she was somehow in the wrong. And while his apology song was cute and his poem clever (I may have shed a tear or two at the poem, but it was purely a pavlovian response to one of the greatest movies of all time), he not only did it publicly in front of everyone, but those things did absolutely nothing to show her that this man wouldn't continue to operate like that for the rest of his life. But of course she forgives him immediately. 🙄 I skimmed everything afterward bc I no longer cared to see their HEA.
I was rooting so hard for these MCs too, despite the earlier OWD, until all that stuff went down and now I'm just angry I didn't read reviews before giving it a try.

The Lost & Found series is it!!
𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑾𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 is a book that I can truly see happening in today's world. Reading this book felt like I was apart of this family/friendship group. I was at the Bar, the family gatherings, or on group chat with Nina, Sasha, and Ciara. I was talking it up about our men, Isaiah and Lincoln. I was ready to go blow for blow for one of my friends when we had an outside chic steppin in the way. *Insert neck roll and finger snap*
I could also sympathize with and feel Nina'a and her protective ways for her siblings Logan and Jada. Also, her protective ways of her heart!
Nina and Isaiah's story was pure love! I fell in love like I was there. I followed their story and wanted to savor every minute. There are so many feel good moments in this story. Also...we are taken back to the previous book 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑾𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆 with updates of Ciara and Lincoln!
I can go on an on about this story, but I won't. I'll just say that I HIGHLY recommend you pick this book up as well as book 1. Both can be read as standalone.

I really enjoyed this read! There were two tropes that I disliked that were in this book but the writing was amazing so it was worth it.
Isaiah and Nina were so cute. Their back and forth and the tension they had when they were near each other was immaculate. Nina was so independent and I loved that but I felt sometimes she did push my boy away. I loved how much Isaiah got his happy ending which he deserved. The bond they both had with Logan and Jada were so cute and them two deserved the world for what they had been through.
I loved the community they had with their family and the banter between them. Alexis and Monica pissed me off so bad with their trifling selves.

I loved it. All of it. I laughed, I cried, I ignored my kids just so I could finish.
It was wonderful and brought me absolute bliss!! I literally haven't stopped swooning since I opened the book.
Natasha Bishop did it again! And I am not on bit surprised. Her storytelling is AH-FREAKING-MAZING!! This world, these people she created, and their found love is like no other I have ever read.
𝘕𝘪𝘯𝘢 is a fierce badass woman who takes on caring for her two younger siblings after the loss of their parents. Working nights at the bar and dedicating her days to her brother and sister as they all try to find some sort of balance leaves her absolutely spent. Her friends set up and offer her a night off to take a break and relax. But the first thing she does ends up changing her life even more than she could have ever expected.
Isaiah Cole a.k.a Zaddy!!! I loved his brother Lincoln in book one but holy shit did I swoon so dang hard over Isaiah. Sweet, funny, thoughtful and supportive. He is utter perfection!
Known as the jokester no one ever takes seriously and scorned by his last serious relationship, he doesn't do anything but casual hookups. He's always had his eye on Nina since she's best friends with his sister but he never acted on it but the pull was there and neither one of them could ignore it. One night turns into so much more and the best sort of surprise. A love so pure, a love that unites, a love that heals broken hearts.

I'm so glad Nina's special occasion dick had permanent resident sperm. 🤣Still my most favorite line; had me sputtering all over my morning coffee. But gah! I just can't say enough about this story! I cannot wait for the rest of this series and I am already here for even the next generation. (wink, wink) The kids were adorable but I couldn't help seeing their own little bruised hearts.

This story revolves around Nina and Isaiah. Both of these characters was introduced in the first book in the series, Where We Found Our Home, but this can be read as a standalone.
Isaiah and Nina both have an attraction towards each other but have never acted upon them. Nina being thrust into motherhood after the loss of her parents gains custody of her two younger siblings and with her thriving business has no time for a relationship. Her focus is totally on piecing her family back together. While Isaiah is dealing with past relationship drama does not feel as if he is ready for a committed relationship. But when a one night stand turns into something more, they both must come together and lean on one another to discover their hearts are intertwined.
I absolutely loved this one just as much as I loved the first book! Natasha has a way with her writing that keeps you turning the pages for more! This book was fun, spicy (SOD 😜 if you know you know), and just a great read! I loved the found family, the friend group, the way Isaiah and Nina's communication was with each other! Loved it all!
