A superb romance. Solid story and good plot. I really liked this book.

WOW ... I couldn't put this book down! It grabs you in the heart and squeezes.

Megan's privileged life came to a screaming halt when she caught her husband in bed with another woman. She walked away with nothing ... her ex-husband saw to that. She got a job teaching 2nd grade in a public school, moved in with a girl that is as opposite of her as you can get, and bought a broken down car that would hopefully get her from home to work and back again ... but that doesn't quite happen.

James worked at his Dad's garage just out of high school so he could support his new wife while she went to college and eventually he takes the garage over from his father. After she finished college, she became pregnant and they had a little boy named Cade. But James' wife couldn't handle being a mother and started drinking and going out ... eventually turning to drugs. James tried everything to help her, but she just didn't want to give up her next fix ... so they got divorced and James had sole custody of Cade.

Megan and James met when she brought her car in to be fixed and then again at a teacher/parent conference ... she just so happened to be Cade's teacher. They keep running into each other and because of the mutual attraction and neither one of them wanting a relationship, they decide to enter a "friend with benefits" situation. And their story goes on from there ... I don't want to say too much and ruin the book for others.

This book had me from the start because it seemed so real. It wasn't "love at first sight" ... it took time for their relationship to develop because of the circumstances of life. This book checks all the boxes ... a sweet heartfelt romance, laugh out loud moments, realism and hot sex scenes! I highly recommend this book ... Megan and James are characters that you won't soon forget.

I received an ARC copy courtesy of the author through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

Again, we get another fantastic book from Ms. Hollin's. I went back an forth with this book, not on how good it was, because it definitely was, but on how I felt about the heroine. We meet Megan in the second book of the series, and she is described as being perfect. The problem that I at times have with her, is that while at times, I find her to be a sweet smart woman, I also found her to be a little weak, and when she needed to speak up, is when she didn't and she was a little too worried about the perception of being found perfect. Then we have James, I have to say that I love him, not that he was perfect, because he had to deal with issues also, but he was exactly what she needed. And the way he dealt with Niall, god I loved him!!! He fit perfectly with her family. Now you do not have to read all the books in series, to understand what is going on, but it would be a travesty to you, if you don't.. So go grab them. I will not steer you wrong.

You snooze, you lose. Idiot yuppie.

The lady knows some bad words.

Oy, it's going to be a dorm apartment, isn't it.

Such a butthole.

Now I want a gyro.

Cute kid. He has a point about the equator.

Niall is just sounding worse and worse.

I don't think her parents wouldn't understand. Surely they could see how much of a dick Niall was as a husband.

He is such a good dad.

She's five seconds away from embroidering an "A" on every shirt she owns.

I think it's sexy when an actress wears the guy's shirt in movies as well.

At least Richard Gere was willing to pay Julia Roberts.

He shouldn't let one horrible experience ruin his faith in people in general.

People really shouldn't inject themselves with ink that close to their esophagus.

He didn't call for three weeks?!

Yeesh, Darcy must spend a fortune on headache relievers.

Ohh, good fake-out, Sean.

This waiter is so a cock-blocker.

Good speech girl!

It takes two to make a baby.

This is the story of sister Megan Dempsey/McKenna, she is the sister of Sean and Ewan's cousin and we meet her in Chicago which is where she is now living. We meet her as she brings a clunker car to James' car shop.

James knows her as the wife of the hoity toity Niall Dempsey and so he doesn't treat her that great as well. Megan is now the pennyless exwife or her cheatng ex husband who has taken everything she had except her dignity. Megan is starting over from scratch, she has a new care, new job and is in the process of getting a new apartment.

I beyond LOVED Megan. Not many people would have what happened to her and never tell anyone namely her family. In fact for most of the book her parents don't know she is divorced. She is a tough cookie but also a sweetheart and she stole this entire book. Which is funny because the only thing she fears is letting down her family, which is why they don't know that she is divorced.

James is a single father with lots of guilt and the second time he sees Megan he finds out just what a jerk her ex is. I loved how he treated her ex. Then the next time he meets Megan it is at a parent teacher conference and that is when he really starts to see who Megan is and learn she is now single.

James is a really terrific character. He doesn't just charm Megan, he charms me too. He has not had an easy life but he has a super cute son and a really wonderful dad and he is not afraid to lean on his family.

He is the opposite of anyone Megan has met before and the two together work really well. At first glance they don't seem a lot alike but they have been majorly burned before by exes and James really helps Megan learn to deal with her new life and he is really there for her.

Together they have lots of HOT scenes and adventures and together they have to decide on what relationship they want. This is a story of two mature and strong people learning how to let the other one in and it was a really special story.

It is extremely well written and I really loved the entire story. It is the final story in the series and I am very sad because it was such a great series. This story is definitely my favorite of the 3 stories and it easily stands alone. Though if you read the other books some scenes will have more meaning to you as we get to see the characters from the other books future.
