The black sheep of Fallbrook is back … and he's in for the surprise of his life.
Former bad boy, now-decorated Army Ranger Brody McBride is home and on a mission: Find the woman he never should have left behind and right the wrong he did eight years ago.
When the man she loved broke her heart and skipped town, Rain Evans picked up the pieces. But along with heartbreak, Brody left her something infinitely better than she could have imagined: two beautiful daughters. One she gave birth to, and the other she rescued from the woman who helped destroy her relationship with Brody.
Brody is shocked to discover he's a father, and he's more determined than ever to win back Rain and protect his girls. Can they rekindle the love they once shared and become the family they were always meant to be? Or will a danger from their past return and ruin everything?
my review-
He was in for a big
surpise.
All
Brody McBride wanted was to have Rain Evans, the love of his life, the one that
he left years ago back in his life. He was ready to beg, to grovel, to whine,
he was ready to do for just about anything. What he didn’t expect was to find
the biggest surprise of his life when he went to see her.
I
admire strong and independent women, those women who can stand in their own
feet, doesn’t need men in their lives, and can do just about anything. I most
especially admire mothers, who will do just about anything for their children.
And I admired and loved Rain Evans. She was strong, steadfast, and did
everything for her children. She’s a forgiving soul, and despite the fact that
Brody did something unforgivable to her, she did something that had astonished
me – she gave up her future for her girls. She made another one, a future that
included them. Her heart was big, and despite the fact that it wasn’t necessary
to raise both girls on her own, she did that and considered them equal in her
eyes. She allowed them to know their father, gave them bits and pieces of him
when they asked, and introduced them when he came home. Despite her fear of him
coming back for them, she allowed him in their lives.
Brody
was young, and confused, and only wanting what he thought was best for Rain –
only he didn’t expect that it would shatter her more rather than help her.
Because Rain forgave him, I did to – he regretted everything he did and tried
to make up for every single day he was missing from their lives. Now, if he can
only protect them not just from imminent danger, but from himself as well. You
see, he came home a different man from the war. He has nightmares, and
flashbacks. He has PTSD. He didn’t want to hurt his girls, and admire him for
it. Rain stood by him. She shook him out from his stupor and held his hands,
tried to goad him back into the real world. She understood, she never judged,
she stayed. She’s a superwoman!!!!
There’s
Owen – he’s an amazing brother who was there for him when he returned, and
stayed with his girls. He became their uncle, and he helped Rain when times get
tough. I’m looking forward for his story as well!
I
enjoyed reading Brody and Rain’s journey towards their second chance at love.
Brody is indeed lucky to have Rain who had a generous heart that can easily
forgive. Rain, the bravest girl I have ever known, deserves her HEA. I laughed,
swooned, bit my nails in anticipation and yes, cried a little over that ‘talk’
they had over the cabin (which was my favorite part in the series) and spent my
afternoon laying in bed savoring the pages. It was worth my time, and would
gladly recommend this one to friends!
