4 Smooches!

Synopsis

Five years ago, Brooke had everything she wanted… until it disappeared like a magic trick. While she grieved the loss of her perfect future, fate sealed it. Moving on wasn’t an option. It was a requirement.

Now, Brooke has more money than she knows what to do with. But she also has panic attacks, no relationships outside her family, and a daughter. Brooke may have shut down, but there is no way to numb the constant terror that Mia could be taken away from her. She spends her days looking over her shoulder and avoiding her shameful memories.

She’s fine hiding from the world until Chris moves next door. A friendship forms when they unwillingly bond over their painful pasts. As walls come down, their relationship starts to develop into more. Brooke now realizes everything she’s missing out on and wants—a happy and stable family for her and Mia.

But Mia may not be the child with no traces of her father as Brooke assumed. And making a moral choice will risk everything.

Review

Brooke has a beautiful little girl called Mia who she loves more than anything and she thinks that Mia and her family are all she needs in her life because of the awful thing that happened in her past. But then Chris moves in next door and she starts to have feelings she thought she would never have again. Chris also has a secret that makes him not want a relationship; but maybe these two broken people can repair each other with the help of a beautiful little girl? And maybe these two meet at just the right time to help each other get through another horrible situation.

“My eyes widened as I finally accepted the feelings I’d been having all weekend. I didn’t want him to leave because I liked him. I was so fucked. The first time I felt something in years, and it was for a guy who didn’t date.”

I really loved this book. It gave me all the feels and was slammed full of emotion. It’s an easy going book, you know something awful has happened to both Brooke and Chris and when they help each other through that, another situation happens that will pull at your heart strings and make u beg to the reading gods that everything turns out okay.

“I really want this to work,” he whispered, his lips brushing against me as he kept talking. “I don’t know how else to put it. I want this to work so badly, and I know you don’t trust people easily.” He moved back, so he was looking into my eyes again. “I’m going to do everything I can to earn that, Brooke. I swear I will.”

Brooke and Mia were both so loveable. Strong mother, strong daughter with the two of them against the world. Their bond was unbreakable and beautiful. Brooke really was an amazing woman, a great mum, strong, brave, independent and always fighting for the best for her daughter. Mia was a bundle of joy and happiness who you just knew would light up a room.

“Chris felt so good, everything about him. His hard chest, his tight arms, those big hands pressing into my back, pinning me against him. But my favorite thing was his mouth exploring mine, needy and giving at the same time.”

Chris was our hero. A sweet, kind and quiet man but as the story developed you see his sexy, protective and strong side. His dedication to both Mia and Brooke was so adorable and the way he overcomes his own sad past to be there for them both made my heart sigh.

“I want to memorize this,” he said. “You look like a damn goddess and you’re mine. I know you were before but now … I finally have everything I’d given up dreaming about.”

This is such a roller coaster ride filled with emotion. It’s tough going for a while and when you think everything is working out…BAM another heartbreaking story line happens and you are right back to holding your breath and hoping that everyone gets their HEA! Highly recommend this story to those who want an emotional read, with loveable characters and a excellent story line.
