Summary:
A small town, single dad, forbidden romance from bestselling author, Stacey Lynn.
I don’t think anyone would’ve chosen to be a single dad before their driver’s license even arrived in the mail, but that was the curveball that life threw at me. While my classmates were partying it up at football games and Prom, I was dealing with ear infections and learning how to be the best kind of dad like my father was to me.
I all but gave up on trusting a woman again and finding love as I had more important
responsibilities: being a proud girl dad to Josie, helping my family out on their ranch, and starting my own construction business.
Then Penelope Pesco shows up and kills my resolve to remain alone. She’s not only the most alluring woman I’ve ever met, but a forbidden one too: She’s my daughter’s new teacher.
She’s also my new neighbor.
Sweet Penny is pure temptation in one gorgeous package with her sunflower blonde hair and beguiling sky-blue eyes, and I’m having a hard time staying away. Keeping myeight-year-old daughter from falling in love with her is hard enough. We both don't need to fall in love with her and end up with our hearts broken.
Then tragedy strikes my family in an entirely shocking way, and reality hits. Life’s too short to keep running and living in fear. This is my chance and I’m grabbing it with both hands.
I can only hope I haven’t screwed everything up. Hopefully, there’s a chance I can fix what
I’ve broken. Josie and I love and adore Penny and can only hope that our unbreakable love isn’t shattered beyond repair.
Review:
First I'd like to thank Stacey Lynn and Valentine PR for sending me a copy in exchange for a review. I am seriously loving this family and series so much, I don't want to leave!
If you haven't read this series yet, you're totally missing out! It has all the things! Sports, small town, single dads and you know it'll get even more interesting as more books are released! I have to say I was drawn right from the beginning. If you know me, you know I am a huge fan of single parent romances... but you throw it into a small town and add the fact that the dad's love interest is not only their neighbor, but his daughter's teacher? DONE! SAY. LESS!
I will say I felt like the spice was a LONG wait. I get the reasons for it, however I do feel like we were just waiting and waiting for it to finally happen when you know they've got all this sexual tension between the two of them!
Now let me talk about Josie, because she is as sweet as they can be. She really deserves to have a mother, and one that truly cares for her endlessly, and you can tell from the beginning that Penny feels that way, even if it's only a teacher/student sort of caring. And Gavin? That man is a saint, let me tell you! Not only is he trying to keep his feelings at bay, because he doesn't want to risk losing anything with Penny and possibly risking the relationship his daughter has with her, but he also takes things so incredibly slow with Penny to ensure she's end game, and she's comfortable with everything developing between the two of them. They both have their own thing, but together, they grow and it's such a beautiful story!
Another thing I kind of wish we got more of was the whole dynamic between Penny and her mom. Her relationship with her sister is top notch, even when they live fairly far away, but something tells me that won't be for long... But her mother? She deserves to lose everything the same way Penny had to sacrifice everything at such a young age to basically become a mother to her sister. I think I would have loved to have seen Penny have a bit more of a backbone and had that altercation between her mother to make her even stronger. Don't get me wrong, the way it played out was *chefs kiss* but I definitely would have loved to see more of the emotional pull that her mother has on her throughout the story.
Overall, this was another great story in the Kelley Family series! It was an emotional roller coaster with so many sweet moments! The relationship they all have with each other, the way they truly and deeply care and are willing to do whatever is needed for one another is amazing! And that ending?! It was the sweetest ending I've read in a while. I LOVED it!! I couldn't put this story down, I was devouring the pages. The way the Kelley Family cares for sweet Josie, and ensuring not only that Gavin is taken care of as a single dad, but once Penny enters their life, it's like there was no hesitation the Kelley's were bringing her in!
That's all for my review, I hope you liked it and be sure to check out this series!
So until the next time, keep reading!
Your Graduated Bookworm!! :)
