Can his family of four…

Become her new home?

Attorney Nolan Stokes doesn’t want his children to become too fond of another woman who’ll just walk away, especially not a fiery singer who holds him in contempt. Frankie Dempsey resents Nolan for how he handled her uncle’s estate and has sworn to leave Willow Creek for the open road. But when Nolan reveals his biological ties to her best friend’s family, Frankie’s curiosity is piqued—and his three spirited children begin to claim her heart. Nolan fears he’s risking everything for a woman destined to leave, but can he give his heart to Frankie, who just might bring his kids and him everything they ever dreamed of?

 

Heartfelt and so emotional! I absolutely loved Frankie and Nolan from the start and knew their story was going to be powerful from the lead up to it in previous books in the series. I loved her instant connection to his kids and the camaraderie that led to the storyline. The characters were well developed, but their storyline was too quick for me. Insta-love doesn’t even describe it. In the reality of it there was no dating, no talking to any great degree, just an adoration of his kids and then instantly declaring their love for each other. I wanted more for them to paint a complete picture of what they could be, but the little family they made with his kids was adorable nonetheless.

Great series overall!
