Publisher Description
From New York Times best-selling authors Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland comes a new standalone romance.
When the board of directors of my company mandated that I go to a wellness facility in small-town Maine to recharge, that shouldn’t have included:
1. Using a ladder to sneak out of the bedroom window at night and going to the local bar.
2. Getting so drunk that the bar owner brought me upstairs to sleep it off in his bed.
3. Waking up staring at the taxidermy moose head on said bar owner’s wall.
4. Falling for said bar owner who was the most drop-dead gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.
But Brock Hawkins was so much more than just the hot bar owner. He owned half the town, built log cabins with his bare hands, and was apparently the most eligible man in all of Meadowbrook.
He was also a cinnamon roll despite his seemingly rock-hard exterior.
And the last man I should’ve been falling for—because my time in this small town was limited.
I had to head back to my life in New York City, one that was the complete opposite from the kind Brock lived.
He was denim. I was diamonds.
The problem was, the sexy lumberjack wasn’t the type of man who was easy to walk away from. Hell, I couldn’t even part with his plaid shirt that had become a constant fixture wrapped around my shoulders most days, let alone think about erasing him from my life.
A life with Brock, though, would have to be all or nothing.
Go big or go home.
I just didn’t realize that choosing to go big might also mean getting my heart broken when Brock’s life took a turn neither of us saw coming.
Customer Reviews
Sucks.
Why is it that when in these novels the woman who does NOT want to get pregnant, does get pregnant, and then ALWAYS wants to keep it inspite of having used birth control and NEVER even CONSIDERS having an abortion?
They rather keep the kid and give it to fostercare and add an orphan to this world, or in most cases in these novels they suddenly LOVE the idea of being pregnant, no matter how they previously had planned NOT to or, even hated the idea at least at that point?
Of course, I know the answer; in America abortion is a curse word. And since women here have given up their right to decide on their own body and thus are second class citizens, the unwritten rule stands: You make a mistake or the condom breaks or your birth control fails you and you get pregnant, you are forced by ”moral” pressure by other people to keep it, no matter what your plans and dreams for your life were.
And in this book, the pregnant ex-girlfriend announces the most important thing, in the American culture: ”it is a boy!”
Of course it is a boy.
I stopped there, ended the book and clicked ”marked as finished”.
Good luck to young American women who listen/ read these books and learn (!) the motto for their lives.
No wonder their lives never improve.
