The Sisters Waskowitz #3
One Summer's Knight
HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO
Temporarily impoverished-and lawsuit-plagued-single mother Summer Waskowitz Robey knew, as she stood alone in court, how badly she was in need of a rescuer. But she never would have dreamed that said rescuer would come in the form of handsome, aristocratic man-about-town Riley Grogan, who also happened to be her opposing counsel!
Inveterate-and child-resistant-bachelor Riley was the last man Summer could have imagined would take her, and her kids, into his perfectly manicured home. The last man she could have imagined falling for, hard. The last man she could have supposed needed the love that she and her children had to give....
But this time, maybe appearances were deceiving....

One Summer's Knight was pretty average and I felt something lacking in the book, maybe the romance I guess which took too long to start.
Summer Waskowitz's life has unravelled, she is broke with two heart-broken kids and an ex-husband who went on the run, taking all her money away and leaving her stripped and humiliated and the cherry on the top, the law-suit forcing her to pay something she doesn't have.
Riley Grogan didn't like annihilating Summer in court, he knew her type, a giver who has too much of pride to ask for help even when it is being offered. And that is kind of true, Riley tells her that she should have hired a lawyer and Summer realizes that is true and still does not want to tell her family how bad things have gotten.
Then her house gets burned down and she realizes how bad things are , with the FBI and some shady men after her because of her ex, so this time she hires Riley to make sure she is not screwed over and Riley's perfect life becomes noisy with two kids and some crazy pets.
For most of the book we don't know what makes Riley who he is, he is wealthy and good at his job and a loner. I just didn't believe the that suddenly in the last 50 pages or so everything becomes hunky-dory with a neatly tied HEA though we do see the attraction blossoming in the book.
