Mia Gibbs spent her marriage putting her husband's needs before her own. And now, after a painful divorce, she's building a new life for herself and her two daughters back home at Firefly Lake. The last thing she needs is a man to complicate things. But former bad boy turned friend Nick McGuire-and the one kiss they've shared-has turned everything upside down . . .
Attorney Nick McGuire wasn't meant to be a family man. His career has always been his focus and after taking time out to help his mother, he's ready to get back to the city . . . until Mia and her daughters arrive at Firefly Lake. Mia is beautiful and intriguing, and it doesn't take long to realize being "just friends" will never be enough. As the summer nights turn colder, Nick will have to choose between the life he's always wanted . . . and the woman he can't live without.

Here’s
what’s going on. When Nick hires Mia to help his mother clear out her house, he
has no intentions of getting into a relationship with Mia. For one thing, he’s
not interested in getting into a relationship and for another, he’s definitely
not father material. Although there’s something about Mia he can’t seem to
resist and when she’s willing to jump into a friends-with-benefits type of
relationship, he’s not about to turn it down. While they’re both falling head
over heels for each other, they’re both determined to fight it.
I
really struggled with this book and it took me forever to finish it, honestly,
I thought it was going to end up as a DNF, but I charged on and managed to
finish it.
The
pace of the book was really hard for me to get into. It started off slow, then
went uneven, then picked up a bit, before going back to being uneven. I was
sort of bored throughout most of it.
I
couldn’t really get behind Nick or Mia. They spent most of the book being
whiney and complaining about their lot in life and rather than going after what
they wanted, which was each other, they fought it in the most annoying way then
spent the book grumbling about it. Mia spent so much time doing this I’m an
independent woman now that I’m divorced thing so it was a little annoying when
her husband came back into her life and she sort of allowed him to walk all
over her the first few times. Another thing that sort of irked me was how she let
her youngest daughter be a rude brat and then made excuses for her. And Nick
was all about his daddy issues and they got old really quickly.
Nick
and Mia’s relationship was believable but I wanted to see more of it. Rather
than just focusing on Nick and Mia, there’s the story of Kylie, the little girl
in foster care, and Nick’s mom and the stranger she falls in love with. It
almost felt as though there was too much going on.
Overall,
this was one just wasn’t my cuppa tea.
