Blurb
Disappointment. Rejection.
Loneliness.
Feelings
that have been suffocating single mom Kate Miller for years.
Moving to
New Hope to raise her six-year-old son is supposed to be a fresh start, a way
to put her past in the rearview mirror and focus on the road ahead. She isn’t
looking for friendship or a relationship, especially with one very sexy
detective who won’t stay out of her life or out of her mind.
No matter
how hard she pushes him away.
Luke
Dimarco is a man who’s faced his mortality.
After surviving a shooting, in which he was the target of revenge, he
understands life is fleeting. When Kate
explodes into his world, showing him a glimpse of a future filled with all the
things he craves, he makes the decision to grab a hold and not let go.
Even if it
means sacrificing what he already has.
However, a
darkness still surrounds the small town of New Hope and they will learn the
only way to keep each other safe is to stand together. Luke will need to show Kate that trust is not
just a word, but given to the right person, a promise.
But is it a
promise he can keep?
Cracking open the cover of Kate was like coming home to family. I've binged on the series and have been anxiously awaiting Luke's story to join the bookshelves. The wait was not in vain and everything I expected from this character.
Luke has been a strong silent type in the background for the other stories in the series. A cop by passion, he embodies everything about the type: strong, bossy and protective. So what is his perfect match like? Someone who doesn't allow that bossiness to steamroller over her. Meet Kate.
They have a meet up is that perfect blend of frienmies. They want to both not feel the attraction but it's Luke that gives in first. When that man makes a decision, watch out. You are coming along. Patient to almost a fault as Kate is super hesitant to dive into the romance pool ever again.
If you love an alpha man who is has all the perfect qualities in over-protective male, then this story will check off all the boxes. Although a part of me thinks the story can stand alone, I believe you need to read the series in its entirety to not only understand the secondary characters introduced in early stories, but grasp onto the secondary story. This is a blend of contemporary romance with a suspense element. This one I will say is my favorite in the series. Not necessarily the characters per se but you seeing the author finding strength in her voice and smooth story flow.
