Excerpt

“Is that what you do? I mean do you often try to hit on women in coffee shops by buying coffee for them?”
“I can tell you with one hundred percent truthfulness that I have never done that before.”
“Never.” A look passes over his face I don’t know what It means but I don’t like it.”
“Do you date a lot?” I ask quietly wondering if he thinks I will be some kind of conquest.”
“I haven’t dated.”
“You haven’t dated?” I look him over again he must think I am stupid guys who look like him must date a lot.
“I have never had to date.”
“What does that mean?”
“If I want to sleep with someone I don’t need to date them.”
“What?” I breathe that is not at all what I expected him to say. “You’re the guy that can get any girl he wants without ever putting any kind of effort into it.” He shrugs the gesture making me feel sick at the same time I want to kick him in the nuts. Maybe the red hair does make me have a temper.
“I never lead anyone on or tell them things they want to hear.”
“So that makes it okay?”
“I don’t know if it makes it okay but it’s who I am.”
“Well I am glad that this is coming to light now rather than later.”
“Oh no,” He shakes his head. “This thing with you is something completely different.”
“Yeah I know.” I tell him crossing my arms over my chest. “Its different because I will not be sleeping with you.” I lean forward. “EVER.”
“Well I guess we answered the question about red heads and their tempers didn’t we.” He smiles showing off both dimples. “But trust me when I tell you I would not have driven almost three hours to sleep with you that’s not what I am looking for.”

Review

I loved it!! I loved the premise of the story and the journey Ms. Reynolds took me on.  I can’t say whether this is my favorite in the series or not….I am bass ackwards and started from the end….but now that I read this book…I’m definitely going back and reading about Cash’s brothers!


Ms. Reynolds had the ability to transport me into the story and follow along with Lilly and Cash….I felt Lilly’s pain with that text message she received…hence my FU updates towards Cash….I held my breath when Cash and Lilly set eyes on each other at the play gym for the kids….

Why only 4 stars instead of 5?  I guess it had to do with Jules and Cash ---- if Cash knew what Jules was capable of then why didn’t he protect Lilly and the kids better.  It broke my heart that Jax had to go through that pain of having a womb donor who only used him to manipulate Cash.  I also had a problem with the reason why Jules did something at the end of the story….it was a bit of a shocker.


In no way shape or form did I subtract stars for the writing ability of Ms. Reynolds…I’m telling you that woman can write – she can write a scene and it smoothly and effortlessly plays in front of your eyes!  I empathized with Lilly – I fell in love with Lilly and the strong heroine she portrayed in this story.  She was truly my hero!

Re-Cap

Cash and Lilly have a brief encounter and relationship but they fall hard and fall fast.  But does every rainbow have a pot of gold at the end?  HELL NO….and just like a rainbow….real life comes crashing down on Cash and he must make a decision – to him he makes the best choice and ends up breaking Lilly’s heart and leaving her a single mother.


Years later, a chance meeting throws Cash and Lilly together and lo’ and behold – their little children look exactly like twins.  Cash thinks that Lilly kept his daughter a secret while Lilly has nothing but hatred toward Cash for abandoning her while pregnant.

Once Cash and Lilly find out the truth….Cash is determined to get the love of his life back – well the best he can with his annoying and bitch of an ex sticking her skanky ass in where it doesn’t belong.


Wrap-Up

Once reading this book, I have found a new author to go all “fan-girling” over….I have to go back and read her other books now!!
