Sometimes the things we fight hardest against are inevitable in the end.
Hunter Stevenson wasn't interested in wasting nights with bed warmers, he had a daughter to take care of and a life to build. Leaving behind the mother of his four year old child and her incessant partying, Hunter moves closer to his family to help provide Sawyer some stability.
Tessa Daniels didn’t share the ‘typical American dream’ like most girls. A husband, 2.5 kids and a white picket fence weren’t the things she wanted for herself. She had a plan laid out, which included a career in the Navy and being surrounded by her best friends. She was perfectly content with her carefree, fun lifestyle and her casual relationships, but all of that changed when she met him.
What neither of them expected was a nosy brother and best friend with some serious matchmaking skills. The two have an instantaneous pull towards one another, they can’t fight the spark even though they both do. Until one drunken night, Tessa throws herself at Hunter, only to face an agonizing rejection. However, Hunter’s gentlemanly facade doesn’t last with the sassy sailor girl, his alpha attitude quickly emerges in the midst of their sexual tensions.
Hunter refuses to be another one of Tessa’s casual hook-ups, and won’t allow her to run away from the idea of ‘them’. No matter how many obstacles stand in their way of a happily ever after. Now he must convince Tessa that their inevitable love is worth fighting for.
Can their newfound love survive the stress of an impending deployment and Hunter's past pushing it's way back into his life?

I absolutely LOVE the cover of this book! WOW! Don’t pass this one up. It’s a really good read with a twist meaning the one serving her country is just that … a her. LOVE IT!
Tessa Daniels isn’t your typical woman. She doesn’t crave the house with the picket fence, kids and a husband that comes home from work greeting their 2 kids. Tessa hooks up and doesn’t do long term. Her career is priority. She is shipping out and working on a promotion. There is not time for anything else even IF she wanted it. Everyone thought her best friend, Marshall, was her man anyway. Life was good. Her circle of friends included a group she worked with in the Helo Squadron – and very interesting characters that I know we will be hearing more from! I'm looking forward to a particular man named Reed myself. There is also some unsettled issues with Jo and J.C.
Hunter Stevenson is something to look at. Tessa is floored the minute Marshall introduces her to the towering man in front of her – and its Marshall’s brother no less. Unknown to either, Hunter has decided to move to the area permanently so that he can provide his four year old daughter Sawyer more stability. His fling with her mother proved just that … a fling. Sawyer’s Mom is only interested in continuing to party and has no time to be a mom. Hunter needs Sawyer to be surrounded by family and he is tired of wasting nights, not that being a single father provides many, on women who don’t matter and are just there to hit the sack for a few hours. Hunter needs someone who can handle his daughter and wants the same thing he does.
This book has sparks flying from all edges of the pages. There are laughs from the circle of friends for sure and Hunter is a dream come to life. He is a great father, career minded, and better yet a swexy Daddy! (That’s ten times better than sexy friends!)
This is a stand alone but we get led to some interesting tid bits of the “next” installment. I love that JC leaves us hanging on some underlying issues with secondary characters. SMART!
Click this one up for sure – nice easy read that keeps you turning the pages. I received an ARC for an honest review. Thank you JC!
