About this ebook

New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels returns to Willow Creek Valley in this stunning surprise baby/unrequited love romance. 

I was totally over Joshua Parkerson.

Sure, I had a teenage crush on him way back when—and everyone knew it—but he never saw me as anything but his little brother's friend, the girl who got tongue-tied any time he walked into a room.

I had long ago accepted the fact that his strong arms would never hold me, his lush lips would never claim mine, and his blue eyes would never see me as anything more than who I used to be.

But now he's back in Willow Creek Valley, and there's a brand-new spark between us—even he can't fight it. Our chemistry is explosive, and every time we're together, I swear I can feel the earth shake.

It doesn't mean anything... how could it? I'm over him. 

Until I see that little pink plus sign, and the earth stops turning completely.

Now I want it all again, a life with him. But Joshua built walls around his heart for a reason, and his secrets haunt him.

How can I show him that the ghosts of his past don't have to define our new family's future?

Ratings and reviews

Corinne Michaels brings all the emotional feels with A Moment For Us (Willow Creek Valley #3). I’ve been anticipating Joshua and Delia’s story as I needed to know more about their relationship. This surprise pregnancy romance is a story of heartbreak, love and healing that’s filled with depth. Overall, A Moment For Us is a good book and the epilogue has me very curious about the next book in this series.

Warning you WILL need tissues with this one! Michaels delivers an emotional rollercoaster in this 3rd book of the series which focuses on Delia and the oldest Parkerson brother Joshua. This book covers all the feels with humour, happiness, angst and heartbreak. Corinne Michaels is one of those authors who knows how to leaving you shocked and heartbroken and then she stitches you back up by the end. If you haven't visited Willow Creek yet, you really need to get on it.

A Moment for Us is another emotional and heartfelt story from Corinne Michaels! I knew that Delia and Josh would eventually give into their feelings for one another, but oh boy did they drive me crazy at times! Delia's heart would never belong to another man other than Josh, who didn't feel he deserved love. I wish that there wasn't so much back and forth at the beginning, because it did distract me at times. But once it hit the halfway point, I couldn't stop reading. I had a feeling some of what might happen, but it didn't take away from the beauty and emotion of the story. And with the little tease of Oliver's story.....can't wait for the next trip to Willow Creek Valley!
