If you don't love, you can't get hurt...

Nick Kepler

One thing my childhood taught me was never show my emotions. DonÕt make memories. DonÕt count on other people. DonÕt hope for the best.

All that changed when I was adopted by Ryan and Whitney Kepler.Ê

Begrudgingly I let them into my life, along with my new sister and a best friend I would lay down my life for. But giving up my heart and accepting love in return from Kelsea Harrison? ItÕs the hardest thing IÕve ever tried to do.

And the truth is? IÕm not sure if IÕm that strong.

Kelsea Harrison

From the very moment I met Nick Kepler I knew he would be the love of my life. Problem is I havenÕt been able to convince him of that yet.

When our best friends get married, Nick and I spend a drunken night letting our walls down and losing all our inhibitions. In one moment IÕm given everything I ever wanted. Then, in the blink of an eye itÕs taken away from me.Ê

The question is, can I be strong for the both of us?

The answer? I have to be.

Ratings and reviews

This second book in the Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team series is more emotional than the first, and this couple's chemistry is a little slower than Ransom and Stella's. Nick and Kelsea are just as good together, but their romance moves at a different pace. Most of that is due to Nick's past and his issues with trusting people. That said, Nick is one of my favorite types of leading man. He's a little grumpy, a little more serious, and a lot broken. He's also a complete sweetheart when he lets people in. Nick and Kelsea are good together, and his protective side shows even before he's willing to admit how he feels. This series centers around a group of police officers, but it's more about their hearts than their jobs, and it's also more about a bit of romance escapism than reality. Don't get me wrong, there are some tricky situations for these guys, and for Nick, there are some heartwrenching ones as well, but the focus is the romance. We also get a sweet little guy that definitely needs a good home and lots of love and support. The story is a fairly quick read, but it's packed full of great characters, and a couple you can't help but root for. And I'll tell ya, if the end of this one doesn't give you a warm feeling clear down to your toes, then you need to go back and reread it because you missed something.

The book had a more realistic feel and human actions, than most love stories. I give the book 3 stars due to the money I paid for the amount of grammar mistakes.

Loved this story along with the other Moonshine Task Force/Laural Springs Emergency Response Team books, please continue the series!
