Liam wasn’t supposed to be my happily ever after.

He wasn’t even on my radar.

He was my husband’s best friend—forbidden.



But my husband is dead and I’m alone. I ache for him and I reach for Liam.



One night with Liam changed everything. Now I have to decide if I truly love him or if he’s just the consolation prize.

Review

I hadn't even finished the first chapter and I was in tears! Books don't make me cry ... I think there's been 2 in all the years I've been reading. This book had me in floods of tears from the start ... It's brilliantly emotional and very well written.

Natalie is an military wife who thought all her worries and fears were put to bed when husband Aaron finished his service. That's a lie, once a military man always a military man. He works for a security firm that still does runs in the Middle East, this was just a typical run of the mill, in and out job. But it's never really that simple.

Liam is Aaron's best friend they trained together, they fought together, really they're more like brothers. Liam swore to Aaron that if anything ever happened he'd take care of Natalie. But from the start he knew it wasn't out of obligation to his friend, he tried to ignore his feelings but there was no denying his and Natalie's attraction.

Aaron told Natalie that he wanted her to love again, that he wanted to know she'd be protected, that was a promise she made but never intended to keep but inadvertently did.
I absolutely loved watching Natalie and Liam's relationship blossom it was so easy to read because they were obviously meant for each other. Liam may be a big bad navy SEAL but his love for Natalie is so clear, he's a big softie at heart. I love how this story developed and I can't wait to read the rest of this series!

Then there's that ending ..... That ending!!!! LIKE WHAT THE HELL!?!? .... I'm officially chomping at the bit to read conviction! Seriously though ..THE HELL!?!?!?

Was 4 stars but that ending made it 5  love love love!!!
 

Excerpt

Aarabelle sits in her highchair as I feed her dinner. She’s growing so fast. Already she’s eating cereal and a little baby food. Soon she’ll be crawling and I have no one to celebrate with. Her father will never see these milestones and it breaks me apart.

“You should really lock the door,” Liam huffs as he throws his coat over the chair.

“But then I’d have to get up to let you in,” I state matter-of-factly and go back to feeding the baby, trying to put aside my worries. The fact is…this is reality. I have to deal with it.

“Uh huh. Hey, Pumpkin,” his eyes alight as he crouches down by Aara. It’s adorable hearing grown men use a baby voice. It gets a little softer and higher pitched.

The corners of her mouth lift and she throws her arms in the air when he gets close. My heart sputters seeing how happy she gets seeing him. Liam kisses her head and she giggles.

“At least someone is happy to see me,” he says playfully.

“I’d be happy if you brought me a present,” I joke.

He laughs and goes into the pocket of his coat. “Just so happens I did, but since that’s the only way you’ll be nice, I’ll hold on to this until you’ve earned it.”

Practically leaping out of my chair, I rush over. “What is it?” I try to peer around his back as he holds the mystery item.

Liam’s lips curl as he sees how much I want this. I don’t even know what it is. Jeez, I’m an idiot. “Nope. We eat first, then maybe you’ll get it.”

“Watch, it’s a freaking Pez dispenser or something stupid.”

“Guess you’ll have to be nice to find out.” He shoves the item into his back pocket and I fight the urge to reach and get it. “How was work?”

We spend the next thirty minutes going over my day and Jackson’s return. Liam never mentioned that they spoke, but he’s surprised to hear he’s in Virginia. After we finish the pizza, Liam somehow convinces me we should watch a movie. I get Aarabelle to bed and come down to find him sprawled out on the couch.

“By all means, make yourself comfortable.”

Liam pulls his beanie higher on his forehead and his eyes glimmer with amusement. He sits up and puts the TV on. “I picked the movie.”

“What?” I ask with mock incredulity. “It’s my house. Why do you get to pick the movie?”

“Ummm, I’m the guest.” He shrugs as if this should be an obvious answer.

I groan and lean back. “What crappy, shoot-‘em-up movie do I have to endure?”

“You’ll see. It’s a classic.”
