Intent

Layne lucked out with her boss and due to this she has the chance to meet Ace and his daughter River and slowly gets to see that her life may have gone of course but that doesn't mean it's the wrong way to happiness. I really liked Ace and Layne, they weren't your usual couple that don't care to listen to the other, they try to resolve things instead of going crazy and thinking the worst. There are plenty of feels in this book for both Ace and Laney for what they went through and do go through but allowing them to see that happiness can be achieved and it comes when you least expected it, but you need to work hard at it especially when unexpected twists and surprises occur. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksprout and I also purchased a copy. This was a delightful tale. I adored all of the characters Layne Elliott, Ace Sharp and River (Ace's young daughter) plus several more. The story is well written, witty, funny and at times heart-wrenching. I also adored the Epilogue! It was such a beautiful way to end the story for this couple! Layne is an attorney and lives in New York City. She comes across her boyfriend of 7 years getting it on with her BFF of 15 years. Layne is going through a really hard time and her boss, Marcia, sends her away for the summer to get her emotional state in order. Marcia has a beautiful vacation home that she is letting Layne use in her recovery. It just happens to be next door to an incredibly handsome Ace and his adorable little daughter, River. These two are attracted to each other right from the beginning. They have several hurdles to get through on the way to a HEA though. Mainly two ex's both her's and his'! I loved the dual POV format that this book is written in. Getting that insight into the characters' thoughts really helped me to identify and connect with them. I haven't seen it but it would be nice to have a book written with Lily (Ace's sister) and Justin (Ace's business partner). HINT! HINT! This is a sexy read that I would recommend to someone over the age of 18.

Wow! What a phenomenal book! I’m kicking myself for not reading this earlier. But I am so glad that I did read it because Ms. Justice gave us some amazing characters. Ace Sharp is a single dad to one amazing little girl. He runs a business with his best friend. Ace keeps things close to his chest and River is number one priority. Until a stranger is on his land and it’s a site to behold. From the first look Ace knows that Layne is going to be trouble...sassy and confident. We follow as the twists and turns of a new romance begins. Justice takes us on an entertaining bumpy ride to this couples happily ever after. A story so good you won’t put down. Highly recommended.
