Worth the Wait
Two wounded souls discover an unexpected connection.
Cole
I lost more than my lower left leg just a month before my last tour was scheduled to end. I lost three of my men.
Two years later, I’ve accepted and overcome my physical wounds, but my mental health still needs some work. I’m making a big change and moving back home to Pineville to be closer to my sister and her growing family, even though it means facing the demons that pushed me away fifteen years ago.
What I didn’t plan on finding was the curvy single mom next door stirring up equal parts naughty nighttime, heck anytime thoughts and unfamiliar feelings—feelings I never thought were in the cards for me. Then there’s a determined five-year-old looking to scale the oak tree in my backyard while recruiting me to be his dad.
Can I let either into my life while I’m still trying to come to terms with my past?
Scarlett
I’m determined to finish my MBA six years after dropping out of college. I’ll do most anything to ensure a better life for my son. And if that means working two jobs, living with my grandmother—who helps take care of my son—and giving up any time for myself, so be it. It’s not like I’m looking for another guy who thinks he knows what’s best for me. So, I need to be careful who I let into my bed and my heart because my priorities are my son, work and getting that degree.
Which means I don’t have time for the sometimes grumpy, always protective, and oh-so-sexy, wounded hero next door who fixes my car, plays catch with my son, and makes me burn with a simple gaze.
I mean it. I don’t have time. But…maybe I should?

Plot was there but fell through
I just wasn't feeling this. I felt it was rushed. It was missing that connection to the reader for me. The story had something but it fell through for me.

There were so many discrepancies that I DNF'd at 40%. I liked the premise and who the characters were supposed to be in the blurb. But this needed an editor or someone who isn't a "yes" man to tell the author parts didn't match up.
It started in the second chapter, when Scarlett, our FMC, was introduced. She's at the pub where she is a waitress, is told that she will probably need to work late because a big party is coming. No big deal, she just needs to let her grandmother, who is also the babysitter for her 5 year old son, know that she will be late. So she says "lemme call her". Some inner dialogue happens where we are clued into her background and such, then she says "lemme read her response". Huh? How do you read responses to phone calls? Okay, I thought to myself, its just a little thing that slipped through the cracks of all of the people reading it before it was published.
But then there is her background. She is currently 32. She left college when she got pregnant by her now ex husband, they divorced 2 years later and she moved in with her grandmother since he signed away his rights to their son and would no longer be a source of support. People are typically in college between 18 and 22, or somewhere in that range. She said she is going for her MBA, which typically takes 2 years if you are on campus, like she seemed to be. She said she had taken a 6 year break, but that she was finally closer to getting it. Matty, her son, is 5. So a lot of this math doesn't add up. The 6 year break adds up with Matty's age, but when she said she was 32 and had to leave college because she was pregnant, I was expecting him to to be like 9 or 10 at the youngest. So she left college at 26? When she was already a grown adult who would be getting married and having kids at that age and could have kept going to school since it seems like getting her MBA would be just to pad her resume since she already finished college since she was 26? I kinda hope this was explained later in the story since the math don't math with the little info already given.
Then there was Matty, who sounds very cute and precocious like a 5 year old should be, but he is for some reason given a lisp, which is fine, but his lisp was so inconsistent why even add it in?
The final straws for me were after the characters had already met, found the other one attractive and had chemistry. But he kept wondering where Matty's dad was and I don't recall ever seeing that explained to him on page. So I'll cut it to the day after they met, and he gave her rides since her car broke down before she took her son to school and neither is mechanically inclined. So he dropped her off for her 5 hour shift. The chapter starts when she's 2 hours into it, meaing she had 3 hours left. He comes in for some dinner and suddenly she has 90 minutes left. So a short, 3 minute conversation with a coworker magically took 90 minutes?
I know it sounds like I'm being picky, and maybe I am, but I am willing to suspend reality for a lot of scenarios, but not when things are literally not adding up, I just can't. All it would have taken is someone telling the author, hey why isn't Matty constantly lisping over the 's' sound? Why is she calling one second then talking about getting a text the next? Why does her age not add up to make sense out of the details given? But nobody did.

"Hey Mister!" ... and so it begins
Worth the Wait is part of the multi-author Heart of a Wounded Hero series and this one made me laugh and grab a few tissues. I loved the sweet and steamy story about Scarlett Wright and Cole Nolan, and let's not forget the very precocious six year old tree climber Matty. Cole is thirty-eight years old and has returned to his home town after being out of the Army for the last two years because he was injured while overseas. He lost the lower part of his leg and has been healing and trying to tough out his PTSD. But with his younger sister getting married he has finally had to come back. Scarlett is thirty-two years old and a single mother. She got pregnant while in college and quickly found she would be a single mother. So she had to quit school but and moved in with her grandmother. She has worked dead-end jobs but she does have plans to go back to school and get her MBA, and a career. That is if she can work the finances and time, both of which do not look promising at this moment. Cole's sister lives behind Scarlett and they share a gate which one morning is about to swing open in more ways than expected.
I quite enjoyed this story as it has heart and heat. Both Cole and Scarlett are trying to deal the best they can with the situation they find themselves in. It may not be easy but soon they will find comfort in each other and then the future will be a lot brighter.

Cole and Scarlett . . .
Cole lost part of his leg while in the military, but that wasn’t the most difficult issue. The physical trauma has healed; but the loss of three of his military brothers has continued to haunt him. Now he is heading home to visit his sister before her wedding, intending to spend some time, meet her groom, and move on with his life.
The next door neighbor is Scarlett, a divorced mother with a 5-year-old son, Matty. Scarlett is trying to finish her degree and raise her son, with help from her grandmother. Neither Scarlett nor Cole have any thoughts about a relationship. Scarlett is far too busy to even think about dating. But Cole and Scarlett meet when Cole catches Matty in his arms as he falls out of a tree. With avid curiosity, he poked and prodded the artificial leg, exclaiming how super strong Cole is and his leg fascinated him. Scarlett is obviously flustered when she runs out to see what happened.
As Cole comes to their rescue when Scarlett’s car breaks down, the two of them eventually start to notice that they are developing an interest in each other. Matty is full of life and curiosity, and Cole’s heart warms even further. Will he open himself up to letting these two into his life? Or will he be afraid to move forward while he is still dealing with issues?

What is not to LOVE about this story!!! This is about Scarlett, her son, Matty, and Cole. Cole is back in town to stay with his sis and give her away in her upcoming nuptials. Little did he know that the neighbor had a little boy going to “kidgarden”, but one who loves to be the watch guard of the neighbor on top of a tree. Once he meets Scarlett, the attraction is there, but with her history and the deadbeat of her ex, she is wary of getting close to anyone. His issue is more on the PTSD that he has suffered not only in war but in the past. Matty is wonderful in the story, and I love what he did at the end; this epilogue was the best way to end this story.

Cole is back in town to spend the Holidays with his sister and fiancé and tackle some demons from his past. He hadn’t planned on meeting Scarlett or her six year old son Matty and having his plans change so dramatically. Scarlett is too busy raising her son, working two jobs and studying for her MBA to have a social life. Especially since she’s been hurt before and has Matty to think about. Another amazing read in this series! From the moment these two met they were blindsided by the connection and chemistry that sizzled around them. Cole was hooked from the start not only with Scarlett but Matty too and wanted to show them how great they could be as a family. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked Cole and Scarlett as characters. Cole is ex military recovering from an injury that took part of his leg as well as PTSD from his childhood. Scarlett is a single mother with her ex nowhere in the picture and trying to finish college. These two really have no time to pursue a relationship but their steamy chemistry is hard to ignore. They decide on a fun arrangement but it won’t be long before feelings are caught. I liked these two together and I also liked how Cole is with Scarlett’s son. He’s very sweet and enjoys being around him, adding to his swoon worthiness. This was a really enjoyable military romance with great characters and a beautiful ending.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is a sweet romance with good characters. Cole and Scarlett's lives are changed for the better with Matty's first "hey mister". He brings plenty of humor to the story but also made it feel more real. I really liked how the loss of Cole's leg isn't shied around but also isn't the focus. The whirlwind romance sets the stage and keeps it there. Little drama, plenty of humor, friendship, passion and finally love. I enjoyed their story.

This was Cole & Scarlett's story. Scarlett is determined to finish her MBA six years after dropping out of college. She’ll do most anything to ensure a better life for my son. And if that means working two jobs, living with her grandmother—who helps take care of her son—and giving up any time for myself, so be it. Cole lost more than his lower left leg just a month before his last tour was scheduled to end. He lost three of his men. Two years later, I’ve accepted and overcome my physical wounds, but my mental health still needs some work. This was a bit of an emotional one. And am voluntarily leaving my review.

I loved this story. I am looking forward to reading more by this author. I loved how Cole and Scarlett gets a second chance at happiness. Cole never thought he would ever be a husband or father due to his upbringing and then his injury from serving his country. Scarlett is trying to make it better for her and her son. She doesn't have time for love or romance. But fate has other plans for them. Will they stand in the way of their happiness?

I received and ARC of this novella. I think the real star of this book is Matty. He is just adorable and so full of energy and just a total boy. But the book really isn’t about Matty.
Our hero is a real HERO with an injury and lingering PTSD. Our heroine is a single mom making her way through a degree with the help of grandma. This is a short, sweet smexy read. They needed/ wanted to scratch an itch but sometimes love just blindsides you and you end up falling for this amazing women who has an equally amazing son.

This is a sweet romance that pulled on my heartstrings. Cole is back home to spend time with his sister for her wedding and then he plans to move on until he meets Matty and his mom Scarlett. The more time they spend together the closer they get and things get serious fast. I loved this little family and was cheering them on to get their happily ever after. Worth The Wait is a great addition to the Heart of a Wounded Hero series and I look forward to reading the rest of the books. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Cole moves back home to his sister’s after having been injured at war.
Scarlett is a single mum and while she is working, she left her son with her grandmother.
Matt is a fascinating little boy who gets into trouble frequently. I just loved him.
A very nice story about a man trying to cope with his PTSD and the woman and child who helped him to get whole again.

Unexpectedly finding love
I loved Cole and Scarlett’s single mom instalove novella. It had a good mix of sweet, spicy, and real life issues. Scarlett is a single mom to 5 yo Matty working toward her MBA. Cole is retired from the military after losing part of his leg. He’s visiting his sister for her upcoming wedding when he meets Matty and Scarlett, her neighbors. Despite being short, the story was well written, the characters had dimension and the storyline was engaging.

Worth the Wait
Another instalment in the Pineville world and what a great story it was.
Cole and Scarlett's story was great!! Seeing both of them trying to navigate a relationship without an emotional attachment was never going to happen, but they tried to protect their hearts.
They are a great couple who just needed to take a chance, and it worked out perfectly for them all.
Great story and series

This sweet story shows a dedicated single mum with strength to do her best. A solider who weathered the worst & drew strength to face his past. No drama or confusion. Love the honest feelings & chemistry. Enjoyable!.

The author has given us a heartwarming story that pulls us into the lives of Cole, Scarlett and her son, Matty, and does not let go. When Cole visits his sister, he has no idea what he wants to do with his life now that he is no longer in the military, until he meets the next door neighbor and her son.

This was a good single mom romance. I liked the story even if I felt it was a bit rushed at times. Cole and Scarlett had good chemistry and were really cute together. I also really liked how big a part of the story Matty actually played, it was a nice touch.

my first book by this author
I really enjoyed this. Cole and Scarlett were great characters and Marty stole the show! Who doesn’t love a precocious 5 yo falling out of trees and has no filter?! My only complaint is there was not enough of them. I would have loved a more robust book focusing on their characters. Now I have to check out what else she wrote.

Cole heads home to spend Thanksgiving with his sister and face his demons. What he did not expect was to fall for a single mom and her adorable little boy.
