A forced sentence leads to a reckless passionÉ

Hadley

When my husband walked out on me over a year ago, itÊdevastatedÊme. When the divorce papers came, it wrecked me. When we had to sell our house, it broke me.Ê

But then he moved in with his new flavor of the month and told our daughterÊhis new womanÊwasnÕt into children.ÊThat pissed me off.

Now Riley feels abandoned,Êand I canÕt make it better; no matter how hard I try. IÕm desperateÊto help her adjust to the loss of a male figure in her life. The Companion Program that matches adults up with children who have loneliness and abandonment issuesÊis my last hope.Ê

The counselors tell me heÕs doing community service hours, and I ask to sit inÊon his meetings with Riley.ÊTheÊminute I see him astride the matte black Harley, I know neitherÊmyÊnor RileyÕs life will ever be the same again.

Trick

Community Service. Two words I should be thankful for, but IÕm not. I resent the hoursÊaway from building my business.ÊThe two previous kids I'dÊbeen paired up with didnÕt work out because their mothers were more interested in getting in my bed than making sure their child was taken care of. This next match with aÊlittle girl is my last hope. UnlessÊthisÊkidÊworksÊout, IÕm destined to serve time.

When they push her into the room wearing pink converse withÊaÊblack dress, her crazy curls barely held back by the barrette in her hair,Êand studious glasses on her face, I can tell sheÕs scaredÊ- of new people, of change, of being pushed aside. Something inside of meÊbreaks,ÊandÊI want this girl to feel wanted again.

What IÕm unprepared for is meeting her mom. The second our hands touch, I see fireworks, bright lights, and a picture of the future I couldÊone dayÊhave. The future IÕveÊneverÊallowed myself to wish for.

Community service becomes more than a chore, more than the precious hours I have to give up. In the months that follow, I realize Riley and Hadley are just like me; theyÕve been abandoned, left behind by the world, forgotten by those who should loveÊthem.

Thanks to the one last hope in both our lives - weÊfound the light in the darkness weÕd been searching for.

Unwrap Me

Life gets a little crazy sometimes, especially when you've got two kids, two businesses, and you are two parents who are very hands on.Ê

But when Trick's gift doesn't get here in time for Christmas, I have to improvise. They say variety is the spice of life. To keep my man happy, marriage on track, and our sanity, I decide to give him what he craves most in the world.

Me. With a bow on top.

Patrick Tennyson won't know what hit him. It'll be the surprise of his life, and all he'll have to do is follow the instructions.

Trick,

Your gift got a little delayed. Instead, I've improvised. Follow the snowflakes to the bedroom. When you get here, unwrap me, and I'm yours.

Hadley

Christmas is about to get so hot we'll be melting the eight inches expected tonight. ;)

Ratings and reviews

I love Laramie's books. This won't to down as my favorite but I still highly recommend. I think I mainly struggled with the entire concept of his community service and letting a small girl hang out with a grown man with a criminal record. Once I tried to get past this at baseline the entire story was lovely. A mildly alpha hero in instalove getting the family he deserves and a mistreated single mom getting her happily ever after. The little girl in this story really makes it sweet and funny. She's such a wonderful side character. I'm off to see if Giovanni already has his own story or if he will in the future!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

4.5 Stars This is a special edition of Trick with the original book plus some great extras of these awesome characters. This one drew me in with it being a single mom romance. I was also intrigued in the program that Riley enters. Now I know the feeling abandonment from a father, but in my case I had an awesome grandpa who filled that role for me so I never felt that hole like Riley. Hadley and Riley never knew what a life changing moment it was meeting the man from the Companion Campaign.

I love the premise of this one, and the chemistry between Trick and Hadley is off the charts. There's just something about a big, tough guy turning into a marshmallow with the kiddos, and the way Trick is with Riley is totally precious. As with anything by Laramie Briscoe, the book is well written, and the story is totally swoony. If you like stories of redemption and finding your person, this is a must-read.
