Publisher's summary

Ex-marine. Ex-wife. Ex-hausted.

I left my brothers in the marines to start a family. I left my ex-wife when that family drove her to drink and drugs. Now all I have left is my son - and he's all I care about.

I can't afford to make another mistake. And the girl who moved in next door? Mistake written all over her. She's got the sweetest smile, the hottest damn curves, and behind it all...a haunted look. I can't take my damn eyes off her.

My powerful body and coarse attitude make her nervous - and as she tries to start a new life away from her abusive ex, she has her own reasons to stay away. But we can't help it. We're f--king drawn to each other. And when she tells me how much she wants a baby...I make every mistake in the book. Because I want a family again.

I want her. My son. And a baby. And when her past comes calling...I'll fight to hell and back to keep it.

Contains mature themes.

💕 Yummy

This book is absolutely great. Enjoyed how it slowly builds up to the finale. Military man retired who falls in love with a lil school teacher. Did they make good music together absolutely. He has a son and she loves him as if he were her own. Enter the asshole ex boyfriend and his ex wife the mess hits the fan. The narrators did an excellent job. The book was no struggle to listen or read. I had both. Well wrItten book and I am on my way to find something else by this author. 👍👍

Incredible story about rebuilding trust

This is my first book by this author,but I will be on the lookout for other titles, as she truly captured the spirit of resilience and overcoming trust issues in both main characters.

Good Narration

I loved the progression of the storyline.
I enjoyed the voice of John Kane. I prefer stories that don’t drag out beyond necessary. I will search for other books by this author.

The love that this Marine has for his son, it’s beautiful.

Such a sweet story line of a USMC who has been repeatedly let down by his child’s mother and a teacher who is running for her life from an abusive ex comes together to find happiness and love for each other. Great read and I highly recommend it.

It was good

I look very the story just that I personally would love to know more about bout people around them the environment, friends, even his mom there are so little about them. The narrator is not bad but when I started the book I was a bit irritated with the male voice but I got use to it so it wasn’t that bad just too much in the throat and it kinda was weird. My most memorable is the character growth, omg! she had that sarcasm with Anton the little revenge!, love her love this couple so much. Overall it is ‘simply lovely!
