No More Almost

by Cyn Sin, Vixa Vaughn

She’s my son’s ex.
But I don’t care who she was to him.
Because now she’s mine.

I pull her from the snow with shaking hands.
Keep her warm. Feed her.
Try to ignore the way she looks at me—like I’m safety. Like I’m hers.

She doesn’t ask me to stay.
Doesn’t beg.
She just survives beside me like we were always meant to do it together.

And when the roads clear and the town starts whispering?
I do the one thing she never expects—
I stop hiding.

No more careful distance.
No more managing optics.
No more almost.

I kneel in front of the whole damn town and put a ring on her finger.
Let them talk.
She’s not the scandal. She’s the truth.

She didn’t ask for a hero. She got me anyway.

Read on for age gap obsession, snowed-in heat, town gossip fallout, and a silverfox who gives up everything—except the woman he almost lost. HEA Guaranteed!

I was rooting for this to be great!

Oh my gosh, I wanted to like this book so much. I was iffy about it going in because one of the authors co-writes with Tyla Walker and I’m typically let down by those books, but I had high hopes for this one. There were grammatical errors incorrect timelines. It just threw me off. There were too many words that were unnecessary to the story and I believe most of their conversations happened off book because how did he know the details of the break up. I didn’t read her telling him about it so how did he know? I feel like the town people’s assumption of what happened with them in the mountains was overdone maybe forced is better a word. Their assumptions and reactions to that part of it was just too forced. And why did she get up and make him leave after they made love the first time at her apartment. He didn’t pull away from her, I was confused. He also referred to his son as his brother at the beginning of the story. This book just seemed all over the place to me and I skipped through a lot of it just to get to the end.

They were tired of almost

Nia and Michael were already were attracted to each other before Nia and Zachary started dating. That attraction h just may have been one of the reasons why Zach didn't stay true to Nia. That Winter storm was just what Nia and Michael needed to seal their attraction to each other. Nia just thought that Michael was having post coitus regret, but he was afraid of the emotions was sending him these through. He was used to the routine of strict military protocols. Nia made him get in touch with his emotions.

This story, in my humble option, was longer than it needed to be. To me, the author wordsmithed the story to death. I would rather read more about the drama Michael and Nia caused by being together and not a detailed explanation of their feelings.

Where do I start, this was about a trifling woman. How do you go from sleeping with the father after having slept with his son for 2 years. This story really portrayed her as a loose woman with no moral compass. The father was probably vulnerable being alone up in his Cabinet. When a young temptation comes on to him, he did what most men would do. However, the way the story ended was unusual. Now she's the ex soon to be stepmother. What a joke 😃

Ok

Loved the concept and the story was good my issue was with the storytelling. It felt like I was back in school studying English literature! I skipped section, not as entertaining as I like my reading to be.

Lovely story

This book was sometimes hard for me 2 get through. Nia and Michael are very opposite, and the growth it took for them to get it together was rough. But , a lovely story for sure !!
