I was pleasantly surprised by Rochelle Paige’s book. This was the first book I have read by this author and plan to read more because of this one.
Baxter and Skylar were lovely characters to see grow throughout the book. Baxter being a billionaire who has been hurt because of family matters and just wants to set his priorities on the things that truly matter. Skylar on the other hand, is a single mom, a widower, who has had trouble deciding if dating again is in the cards for her.
Our main characters don’t get off on the right foot initially. Baxter attempts to do a good deed, that would. benefit Skylar’s son, but doesn’t necessarily go about it in the best way. The two work things out, but Baxter’s feelings are not quite reciprocated immediately. Skylar has a lot of personal things to work through, although she has had time since her husband’s death. With the help of Skylar’s best friend, Skylar finds herself wanting to let Baxter have a chance.
All Baxter wanted was a chance to show Skylar how she really should be treated. He takes his time, gets to know her son Simon, and treats Skylar like a queen. What I love is that Baxter takes his time, even though he is the type to go after what he wants no matter what. He waits for Skylar to catch up and does his best to protect her heart. Baxter may have come home, but his biggest change would be Skylar and her son.
This is a sweet story of redemption, showing what it truly means to love and be loved by someone, and just all around a feel good story. Yes there are obstacles the main characters have to get through. Our male character has parents that refuse to accept his path in life and think they know best. Our female character unfortunately did not marry the man she thought she did and has had to accept some hard truths in the wake of his passing.
I enjoyed the sweetness of the characters and how they got through issues as best they could together. I would recommend this book to friends. It was an easy read and enjoyable.
