Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Totally loved this book!
"A yearning I had kept under wraps for years stirred as I watched them. The need to protect them. The desire to have them in my life."
Vince AKA Van Morrison and Olivia Rourke have worked closely together at BAM for a few years. They have a good work friendship but they've both been burnt by love and are fearful of venturing into relationship territory. However, when Van starts seeing Liv in a different light and thinking too many sexy thoughts about her, it's hard to keep his distance, especially when he's suddenly aware that she might reciprocate his feelings. Throw into the mix the cute little Sammy AKA Mouse, and a threat from the past, and Van is feeling all protective and tender about Liv and her daughter.
"I see you, Liv. When you smile, I see your soul."
I became so engrossed in Van and Liv's story. I loved their connection and their mutual desire for each other. Both had things from their past that they had to overcome so that it didn't interfere with the progress in their budding relationship. I loved Van's protective heart and his sweetness with Sammy. Definitely made me feel all warm and fuzzy! Liv is so strong but it was wonderful to see her lean on Van and learn to trust him. Gah! The whole story was beautiful, tender, sexy and so heartwarming. I loved the BAM family so much that I must now go back and read the other books in this series. Thoroughly recommend!
