She doesn’t believe true love is real.
He thinks he’s too broken for love.
Everything changes when two stubborn hearts meet.
On
the run from her ex-husband’s twisted family, Finley seeks help from
Jaxon Hudson, the Navy SEAL who rescued her three years ago. Even though
she only knew him for a few hours, it was long enough for her to fall
in love. But Jaxon’s imminent deployment squashed any hope of a
relationship, and he walked away, taking a piece of her heart with him.
Now
Finley is older and wiser and not looking for love. So when Jaxon
proposes a marriage of convenience and offers the protection of his
name, but not his heart, Finley accepts the terms.
There’s only
one problem, the spark they had three years ago never died out...placing
her in danger of falling for him all over again.
My Review: 5 Stars
So much is wrapped up in these pages. Anderson tackles a few tough topics, such as PTSD and domestic abuse, but does it in a way that brings issues to light without feeling heavy at all. These Hudson brothers are a force to be reckoned with and I love getting their stories. LOVED!
After Jaxon rescues Finley, takes her on one date, and then deploys, survivor's guilt and trauma take over his life. When Finley needs rescuing again, they reconnect and the sparks are more flammable than ever.
Jaxon is one amazing character! Although he's strong and compassionate, he's battling demons, which makes him relatable. Finley has struggled her whole life, especially with a sense of belonging and the marriage of inconvenience that ensues from their reunion finally gives her what she craves...but can she keep it?
Anderson has a way of writing that makes me smile, swoon, and devour every single word. I loved every interaction between Jaxon and Finley and couldn't get enough of their palpable chemistry. The zings were instantaneous, yet completely believable, and the little baby, Gracie, melted my heart.
I absolutely adore these brothers--every single one--and can't wait to read every one of their stories.
Content: mild+ romance (very mild innuendo, swoony kissing, unwanted advances); mild violence (vague talk of abuse, neglect, war violence, death)
