Sexy Dad alert!

I love second chance books, absolutely love them. But what I love better is single Dad books, yes single, hot, sweet Dads are my weakness. And Drawn Into Love gives us both of those combined into one awesome read.

Courtney and Lucas both have had terrible past relationships and to see them fall so deeply in love with each other made me smile. They are absolutely perfect for each other and their story had me feeling all the love. There are definitely times that Lucas’s daughter Maddie steals the show, she’s a smart cute little girl whom Courtney falls in love with as well. I love this authors work and I adored this read. Check it out.

Lucas and Courtney meet after her divorce and him settling into a new-ish place after getting custody of his daughter, Madeline.

I loved it. I loved Courtney. I loved Lucas. I loved Madeline. I loved his family. I loved how this story plucks at the heart strings. I loved their love.

So you can I had a lot of love for this book, actually this author in general!

And the ending, the different points of view...loved it!

SO Good! ARR can do no wrong, this was the perfect lazy afternoon read spending time with beautiful characters.I love the way ARR writes, i enjoyed this story a lot.

Not my first read by Aurora Rose Reynolds.

Lucas & Courtney's story is a very sweet one. They met when Courtney needed a contractor & from the first moment they laid eyes on one another, there was something there. Both divorced and cautious about the opposite sex, they venture into the unknown...together.

Lucas in the ULTIMATE SWOON #BOOKBOYFRIEND GOALS! Courtney is a mess, one where she doesn't believe in herself anymore. Including why Lucas would want someone like her. Watch out readers LUCAS will steal your heart in this one!! (fanning myself) Not going to go too much into the sexy scenes BECAUSE they are always alpha and steamy in Aurora's Books.

4.5 STARS FOR THIS READ. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK & THE SERIES.

ARR has done it again and made another book with unforgettable characters! Courtney is a woman with unbelievable strength. She had a rough start to life as a child. She married a man that she devoted her life to. He betrayed her by doing the unthinkable during a time in their marriage she needed him the most. Courtney divorces him and moves on to a new city and new life. There she meets a handsome architect named Lucas. They are drawn to each other immediately. Courtney quickly finds herself falling for not only Lucas but his daughter Maddi. Lucas has an ex-wife who is an absent mom. He doesn’t think he wants a relationship but after seeing Courtney care for Maddi instantly he knows those initial sparks mean something. He makes it known he wants her and will keep her. We get to see some characters from the previous books in this series and the ex’s resurface as well. Lucas makes it clear he won’t lose Courtney and will fight to keep her. ARR gives us the hot alpha males we love in this book with the strong woman we have grown to love in her series. Loved it!

Drawn into Love is book 4 in the Fluke My Life Series and it was the book I have been waiting for I really wanted to see Lucas and little Maddi get the happiness they so so deserved and that’s exactly what they get with Courtney. This may be book 4 but I firmly believe this book can be read as a stand-alone but if you haven’t read the previous books I will bet money that after reading this one you will want to play catch up with the others in the series.
Lucas a devoted single father and Courtney a woman with trust issues have many obstacles to get past before they get their HEA and this book felt more like I was taking a journey as Lucas, Courtney and Maddi make a life for themselves together.......
You know you have read a great book when you are left feeling warm, emotional and fuzzy inside and this book certainly has all the feels. It’s an book that’s easy to read, its sweet, its steamy, it’s witty and it has characters you will fall in love with, its well plotted and runs at just the right pace and it will captivate you from the very first page to the very last line so I’m leaving you with please one click this must read from the very talented Aurora Rose Reynolds.

This book wasn't one of my favorites by this author. Too much ex-drama and virtually NO sex. I found myself bored by this couple. Maddie was cute though...

I’ve read the other books in this series and really enjoyed them, so I was looking forward to this book releasing! I then received an email from the publisher with this book being available for review, so I was able to read it early! I started reading it as soon as I had finished my current read, and after reading, I can say that I enjoyed this book a lot! The plot developed at a fast pace, which normally I don’t like, but I felt like it worked for this book as it didn’t drag things on! This book also only took me a few sittings to read and I really enjoyed the direction that the author took the plot in! I loved the chemistry between the two main characters as well! It leaked off the pages and allowed for a few seriously hot scenes between them! There also wasn't any action and suspense, but the romance was definitely enough to keep me intrigued by the plot! The characters were also amazing and made this book even better! Courtney was the main female character, and in this book she was starting over and was in a new city working at a new job! I loved Courtney in this book! She was a very likeable character and I found her very easy to connect with! She also just wanted to have a family and be loved, and she definitely found this in this book! Courtney had also been through quite a difficult situation and this had a big impact on her, but I'm really happy that everything worked out in the end for her! Lucas was the main male character and love interest of Courtney! I respected Lucas a lot in this book because he was a single father and he ran a successful business! It was easy to see how much Lucas loved his daughter and all he wanted was for her to be loved and cherished! I loved the way that Lucas was with Courtney too! He really loved her and wanted her to be part of his family! He was very protective of both his daughter and Courtney too! I loved that this book was written form both Courtney and Lucas’s point of views! I was kinda expecting it to be because the other books in this see is has been written from dual point of view, so I’m really happy that this book was too! It helped me connect and understand Courtney and Lucas more and allowed for more things to happen in the plot, especially as they were both going through their own situations! The ending of this book was also left at the perfect place for Courtney and Lucas, which made me really happy! I’m now not sure if this book is the final book in this series lol, but I really hope it’s not! I would love this series to continue, but in a way I would understand if it’s the final book! The ending did leave it open in a way! I still have a few of this author’s other books to read and I can’t wait to see what she’s going to release next! I also love the cover for this book a lot! If matches other covers in the series perfectly and the covers models really suit the characters of Courtney and Lucas! It would definitely draw me to the book as well! Big thank you to Aurora, Montlake Romance and Netgalley for an ARC of Drawn Into Love!

The premise of this book sounded interesting to me, so I decided to give it a read and see, because I am always looking for new authors to read. Some explicit wording is in this review.

The storyline was well written...Courtney divorces her husband after she finds out he's not only cheating on her, but has gotten his mistress pregnant while she herself is undergoing fertility treatments. Bitter and disillusioned, she moves to New York to start over. Her only consolation is that she received a huge settlement in the divorce. She buys a house that is a blank canvas and needs to remodel it.

Luke is a single father, devoted to his six year old daughter Madeline. He is also an interior architect, and the person Courtney is referred to as the one to remodel her new home. When they meet the attraction is immediate.
They soon begin seeing each other, and while determined to take things slow, it speeds up quickly, as Luke and Courtney fall in love.

Overall, I enjoyed the book. The characters were both believable and likeable. I would read this author again.

[I received an arc for an honest review]

Drawn into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds is the fourth book in her Fluke My Life series, but can be read as a standalone. It's a wonderful story about family and love.

Courtney and Lucas have both been let down by the person in their lives that they thought would make all their dreams come true. All they want is a family, love and the feelings of home. Courtney's ex-husband cheated on her and started that with someone else. Lucas' ex-wife gave him his daughter but not a mother or a wife. Lucas feels an instant connection to beautiful and caring Courtney. She feels it also but is afraid that it's all too good to be true and is hesitant to trust after what her husband did. It isn't long before she falls in love with his little girl, Lucas himself, and the life they could have together. Both Courtney and Lucas have some heavy baggage and encounter a few bumps on the road to their happy.

" Everything becomes glaringly clear. I want her, and there is something between us— something huge. I haven’t felt this kind of attraction to a woman ever."

Courtney is the sweetest and I admired her immediately. She is caring, kind and stands her ground when it comes to her ex-husband. Down to earth and with real insecurities, she made a perfect heroine. Lucas is everything I expected from Aurora Rose Reynolds, he's caring, sexy and an alpha. Once he decides to pursue Courtney he is ALL in and considers her part of his family. The sexual chemistry between them is off the charts and make you blush 💕 The third star of the book is Lucas' daughter Maddi, she is absolutely adorable and adds extra love and joy to the story line.

"I miss you. Even here, with you in my arms, I miss you because I know I have to go and I can’t take you with me.”

Drawn into love was everything I love about Aurora Rose Reynolds' writing and I can't wait to read what she dreams of next.

This is something I notice with all of her books although it seemed more prevalent with Drawn Into Love. It’s obvious that Aurora Rose Reynolds’s writing is inspired by Kristen Ashley. I’ve read every single one of Kristen’s 50+ books so I’m incredibly familiar with her writing style, character mannerisms, and common phrases. I usually refer to ARR as “KA light” because it’s like I’m reading a KA book without most of the depth and emotions. Harsh, but true.

ARR essentially writes Alphas and heroines that have many similarities to KA’s Alpha heroes and heroines. Not only that, she uses the exact same phrases and quirks that you can find in any KA book. It’s always bothered me and taken me out of her stories any time I come across such an instance, but I felt like she was channeling KA in every single page of Drawn Into Love. From Lucas thinking everything Courtney does is cute to him calling her “babe” or “baby” almost as soon as they meet, to Courtney whispering half the things she says when talking to Lucas and being amazing but not realizing. ALL of this is classic KA. It seemed like every page, I would come across something that would remind me of KA and it kept taking me out of the story to the point where I was just angry about it. There’s being inspired and then there’s just not having an original thought.

I didn’t hate Drawn Into Love. I actually enjoyed it if I looked past her blatant KA inspiration. But I liked it BECAUSE it was like a KA novel. Not because it was a ARR novel. And for that reason, I can’t in good conscious recommend this book.

After divorcing her cheating husband, Courtney relocates to New York City to start over. She’s got a new job and a new residence that requires some extensive renovation. Meeting architect Lucas Fremont she realizes her love life could use some renovations as well.

Lucas Fremont is focused on raising his daughter, a relationship isn’t something that he’s looking for but his new client has given him reason to pause and think that maybe raising his daughter doesn’t mean he can’t have a life too.

Book 4 in the Fluke My Life Series centers around single dad Lucas Fremont. Not much to say about this book except; like the other books in this series love happened fast and hard; and like the other books in the series, this was a fun quick read. The chemistry between the characters was great, the banter was there and I connected with them immediately. Whether you’ve read the other book in this series or not, it’s an enjoyable read.

3.5 Stars

In the aftermath of her broken marriage, Courtney Williams decides for a completely fresh start. Moving to NYC and using her substantial divorce settlement to renovate the home of her dreams, she is slowly moving on from her heartbreak. And then she meets her architect and the sexiest single dad in the city...

Lucas Fremont would do anything for his daughter. With his ex out of the picture and his full time parent status, he doesn't have a lot of time for dating or a social life. But, the second he meets Courtney, he immediately knows that pursuing her is something he has to do. And when she instantly wins over his young daughter, he decides he is never letting her go...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Drawn Into Love was a sweet, slow burn romance featuring two people risking their hearts at a second chance of finding the love of their lives.

Courtney was devastated when her marriage ended, but with her move to NYC she has embraced her new single status. Not looking for a new relationship, when she meets Lucas, she immediately knows he is a special, genuine man. 

Lucas knew his ex wasn't the woman for him, but when she became pregnant he decided being with her was worth having a stable family life for his daughter. Until she proved that she wasn't the type of woman who sticks around and left them for greener pastures. Meeting someone like Courtney, whose love shines through everything life throws at her shows him that she is the kind of woman he is meant to be with, for him and his daughter.

I enjoyed this book. With an entertaining plot and two charming characters who find the person that fulfills them, and the obstacles they face on their road to their HEA.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.

This read is just heart warming. Both characters are so caring and family focused. Both strong and deserving. Something I really liked about this book is that Courtney and Lucas communicate really well. If he feels something is off he will ask and insist until he is told what the problem is. Then he will proceed to be clear about his intentions or how he plans to fix things. She didn't think she would like a bossy man, but she certainly likes letting him taking charge without loosing her strength as a woman. You will too.

It's always ovary exploding and heart melting when a man is a good father. This story is no exception. Plus Maddie is adorable. She is the perfect focus for these two. Taking things slow pays at the end even when it gives you fingernail biting, I would have jumped the guy already type of feelings as a reader. He definitely is one of the good guys. Mama raised him right.

I absolutely loved Drawn Into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds!!

This was such a feel good romance story and one of my favorite tropes!! I was immediately sucked into this story and didn’t stop until I was finished. I read this book in 1 Day!!

Drawn Into Love is the fourth book in the Fluke My Life series. It is a stand-alone novel and I don’t feel these books need to be read in order. They are separate stories and yes we see some over lap in characters but they play such a small part you won’t be lost or confused at all!!

This is a single father romance about two people who have been hurt in past relationships and have a hard time trusting but are still looking for that love story and HEA!! It is told in Dual POV. I thought the pace and flow of the story was spot on!!

Can Courtney and Lucas find their HEA??

In this book we follow Courtney and Lucas’s story. Lucas is the brother of Levi (from book 1) and is a single dad who has full custody of his daughter. Courtney has just moved to New York City after her divorce from her cheating husband is final. Determined to make a fresh and new start she buys a fixer upper for a house and that’s when she meets Lucas. She hires him to renovate her house. The attraction is instant but both have trouble with opening up. Can they learn to trust each other and find love again?? What happens when the past won’t stay in the past?? Read this book to find out!!

I enjoyed seeing some of the past characters from the other books in this story. It’s always nice when we get updated on what those characters are up to since their book.

If you are a fan of the single dad romance or you have read Aurora Rose Reynolds before, you are going to want to read this book!!! If you have read her work before this is the perfect series to get you started on her books.

What a sweet single dad story. I love me some single dads and Lucas is a pretty freaking amazing one. He and Courtney had some crazy chemistry together. It was really adorable how much Courtney loved his daughter Maddi. This one was a quick read. There wasn’t a lot of drama and low angst. Just a nice and sweet love story.

4.25 Finding Family Stars

Lucas and Courtney’s story is probably my new favorite in the series. I love so much about it, but especially the characters and the storyline.

Courtney meets Lucas following her divorce and moving to to NYC. He’s designing her remodel and when these two first meet, it’s clear that sparks will fly. Things progress at a great pace. The two of them considering all the factors at play before diving headfirst into another relationship.

What I loved most:
Lucas is caring, sweet, and takes such a great care of Maddi and Courtney. He’s the perfect guy!
Courtney, similarly to Lucas, is super sweet and caring. She a great girl who was dealt a pretty shitty hand, but doesn’t let it affect her caring nature. I loved seeing her with Maddi.
The family dynamic with Lucas’ brothers and parents.
The story is well plotted and paced. I loved the additional scenes from alternate POVs near the end. It was a very well rounded story.

Recommended

Courtney and Lucas are basically cut from the same cloth. Both had failed marriages and are hesitant to jump into a new relationship. It’s only more complicated because Lucas has a daughter that he has to think about. I like when stories have children because it adds an element that can alter the decisions that are made for the characters. This one is no different.

Lucas quickly became one of my favorite characters that Reynolds has written. He has that alpha male quality that we have come to know and love from her characters, but because of his daughter he has a softer side that he lets only Courtney see. He knows that he needs to do right by his daughter so he struggling with what he wants as a man and what he needs to do as a father. And Reynolds did an amazing job at playing both sides of the line.

This book is not like the other books that Reynolds has written before. There is a love story in here, but there isn’t a whole lot of love scenes. It’s a different change of pace and I liked that she focused more on developing the relationship between Lucas and Courtney rather than just having a bunch of love scenes. Don’t get me wrong, I love them as much as the next person, but I did enjoy getting to know these characters.

3.5 stars.

This was a nice story, a good second chance at love story.
I loved the characters, in particular Maddi and Lucas. I did feel as if there wasn't too much to Courtney.
The major problem I had with this book though was the writing. I felt the story was rushed and flew at a million miles an hour. There were quite often info dumps, it just didn't feel very polished to me.
Despite this, as I said, I enjoyed the story, in spite of the writing style. It's a light, quick read, so give it a go.

Wow, just wow! I only have words of utmost praise for Aurora Rose Reynolds, for ending the Fluke My Life series with such an amazing story. It takes a lot of talent and devotion for an author to deliver her best in every book she writes. I love her insta love stories, especially her Until Series. But the FML series has won me over from the start, because there's nothing better than flirty romantic comedies that make you laugh out loud and put a huge smile on your face. This is how I felt about Drawn Into Love. I swooned so hard about Courtney and Lucas, cheering for them from the start to get their second chance at an HEA. And don't get me started about Maddi. I loved this little girl with all my heart and soul! When I reached the last page I started crying like a baby. The end was pure perfection and it really hurt to let these characters go!

Courtney Williams only ever had one dream: a happy family of her own. What she got instead were six years of empty promises, a divorce, and a well-deserved settlement that’s paid her way to New York. This is where she starts a new chapter of her life with a new job and a new home. Needing a talented architect to design the interior of her house, she seeks out Lucas Fremont. The moment Courtney meets him for the first time, she is blown away by his mouth watering looks. But this is not the only endearing asset about him. Lucas is also a devoted single dad and a great cook. All Courtney can do is wonder if men like him are for real? He seems too good to be true...

Divorced Lucas is living his life together with his daughter Maddi who is the most important person in his life. Meeting and dating a woman is not high on his list of priorities, until he crosses paths with her: Courtney. A sweet, gentle and sexy woman that makes his broken heart beat faster. Lucas instinctively knows that Courtney is cautious because she's been hurt before, so he takes things slow at the beginning. But the more he gets to know her, the stronger his need is to make her his.

But like in every story, there are some major obstacles in their way to a HEA like Courtney's secret and Lucas' bitter ex Eva. If their love is to stand a chance, they’re going to have to fight for it and put their both pasts behind for good.

I adored Lucas and Courtney. They had such an amazing chemistry! He gave her stability, protection and attention. With him and Maddi, Courtney found the kind of family she was always yearning for. But Courtney gave Lucas so much in return. She made him and his daughter smile and filled their lives with happiness again! She was the missing puzzle part in their lives. With her, they finally felt whole again.

If you love single dad and second chance at love stories, than this book is for you. I honestly enjoyed each and every page and highly recommend it. Thank you dear Aurora for this gem of a book that I'm putting straight on my favorites shelf. 5 stars!
