Story2 out of 5 stars 1
As far as Marcus O’Connell is concerned, his situation is perfect. He’s now living with the love of his life, Charlotte, and they’re serving as guardians for Eva, a little girl he rescued whose mother is serving time in prison for a crime of which, in Marcus’s mind, she was unfairly convicted. But Charlotte isn’t on board with Marcus’ way of thinking. Because her divorce is now final, she wants - no, expects - Marcus to want the same things she does. One of those things is a committed relationship, which, to Charlotte, means marriage.

She looked him straight in the eye - those blue eyes that were so intense and she wondered what they'd be able to get her do? She was smart, levelheaded, and not lacking in self-confidence. She loved who she was; she had a family who loved her, and yet here she was sitting here discussing giving something to a man she would never consider giving to anyone.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 11
Everyone in Columbia Falls, Montana, believes Chelsea Friessen is a spoiled princess who is more trouble than she’s worth. They’d be wrong though, considering that tale was spun by a scorned high school crush and two years later is still the first impression everyone has of her. But then she meets a man whose personality is as arrogant as he is drop-dead gorgeous; if Chelsea was in her right mind, she should have been running away from him. The only problem is that this badass stranger walked into her life knowing he saved her from humiliation.

Like his parents Andy and Laura Friessen, Gabriel knows what it means to face an impossible situation. When he puts up an ad looking for a roommate, he never expects to meet a down-on-her-luck gorgeous single mom with a meddling family, a crazy ex-boyfriend, and enough chemistry between them to heat a county.

But Gabriel can’t stop thinking about her, wanting her, and is determined to show her the road to love isn’t as dangerous as she believes.
