Serenity Springs own sweet Nina is sick and tired of doing
what everyone expects of her. She's tired of being afraid
of letting anyone down, she's tired of being afraid of her
ex-husband, and well, she's just plain tired.
Dillon Ward, bad boy, ex-convict, went to jail for killing
his stepfather for almost rapping and beating his sister.
But now he's got the whole town of Serenity Springs
believing his is as bad and evil as they all portray him to
be.
When Kyle, a young rebellious, foster child wrecks into
Nina's bakery the only person who can do the job is
Dillon. But he only agrees if Kyle will work with him,
take responsibility in what he has caused. Not only does
Dillon fall for Kyle, but also he falls for Nina and her
kids. But he's an ex-convict, Nina could do better and
deserved much better.
Beth Andrews took a storyline and made it into a work of
art. The chemistry between Dillon and Nina is strong from
the get-go and they both try to fight it at first. But
what happens when Dillon falls in love with Marcus and
Haley, Nina's kids? Can Nina get over her fears and stand
up to her ex-husband, her family, and the town of Serenity
Springs? These are just a few of the questions you will
get within the first few chapters and they will be answered
in ways you wouldn't imagine. Andrews has taken what could
be an average read and added conflict between the
characters. I love the way she's woven in minor characters
as well, the story was mainly focused on Dillon and Nina,
but it also showed that they interacted with the townsfolk
and family members who made them seem that much more real.
Fantastic read.
Nina Carlson knows all about Dillon Ward. Knows he served
time in prison. Knows nobody pulled out the welcome mat when
he moved to Serenity Springs. But that doesn't stop her from
renting him a place to live. And when someone crashes into
her bakery, he's just the man to fix the damage.
And Nina isn't the only one who thinks Dillon's the perfect
man for the job: her two kids have taken a shine to him.
Still, she can't afford to get close to Dillon, even if he
is tempting her to toss out her good girl shoes. Because
it's not that she doesn't trust him. It's that she doesn't
trust herself.
