I have read several of Claudia’s book and loved them all! This one is no exception.

Nora is a single mom working hard to have a good life for her and her son. She meets Zach through a work incident in the ER and Zach finds himself drawn to her.

Zach calls himself a fixer. This is his excuse for coming around to help her. He doesn’t want to admit immediately that it could be more.

Their journey through friendship and love is heart warming.

We get to visit with other characters we have read about in the past.

Claudia has created a world that will stand the test of time!

“Waiting for You” is specially infused with just the right amount of heat, humour and heart. It is fun, and enjoyable story but there is a side of serious too. These two characters are so real and lovable and their stories are so relatable and which has us readers turning the pages right to the their HEA! Absolutely recommend

Of course, I loved it! Just like every other story about this family. It's so nice to see beloved characters and what's going on in their lives and to read about another happily ever after. I hope this series goes on forever! Claudia is so good at writing emotional, sweet stories.

I love Claudia Connor’s heartwarming stories. So charming, written with heart and thoughtful.

I fell in love with the McKinneys and then I met the Walkers, it was definitely the same.

Zach Walker, firefighter, not relationship material found the woman who would make him burn and crave for more. The fierce, strong and independent single mother Nora, who knew too well how to stay away from the too charming and tempting ones.

I felt so natural and effortless. As two people who might have issues with commitment and trust, they fit so amazingly. Protective of their family and grounded, invested in their job, they might have more in common that it seemed to be.

I appreciated how smoothly they could fit into each other’s life. I felt the powerful connection they shared, past the undeniable chemistry, so smoking hot.

As much as it could be complicated to be involved with someone who came with a full package, Zach already knew how special they were deep inside even if he wasn’t fully aware firsthand. Being helpful to a woman who used to rely only on herself, protecting fiercely her son, with a demanding job.

With a sexy firefighter on a mission to help her in any way he could, Nora tried to fight so hard not to let her feelings shown, how he could make her heart flutter with his charming ways and kindness.

I always have enjoyed this feeling while reading Claudia Connor’s stories. This great balance of something sweet and swoony with this strong hint of hotness, including strong families values and friendship. That gets me every time!

Oh Claudia does it again! Claudia is easily in my top dozen favorite authors and probably in my top three for contemporary romance. When she set her heart to a story you can read every drop of love she puts into it. Zach and Nora’s story is no different.

I love the way Claudia writes single parent stories mainly because of the love that the children bring to her books. And Will just is adorable. You can imagine this sweet 10 month old right in your living room.

Claudia never disappoints. When I fell in love with Matt in Worth The Fall I knew I would love every one of the men Claudia introduces us to and I haven’t been wrong yet.

I really enjoyed Waiting For You by Claudia Connor.

The storyline is well written, the pacing well done and I enjoyed all the characters and getting to know them.

I loved watching Zach and Nora fall in love, they made me smile and swoon and I was very happy they were able to find their happily ever after.

Waiting for You is a lovely addition to the McKinney/Walker Brothers Series, each book can be read as a standalone and I highly recommend them.

Waiting for you is such a beautiful story of two people that find one another when they least expect it .
Nora and Zach could each be the one to complete and bring out the strenght in one another. Nora is a single mom and ER nurse. Zach is a fireman has been labeled as a bit of a player but in his defense I think that he hasn't found that right someone....until Nora.
They are sweet, funny, caring, sexy and soon begin to become that differnet and better person due to being with one another . Their meeting and relationship has each one of them growing in their own world and it is just amazing to watch . Loved them !!!!

I’m a big fan of this author. Have been since 2014 when Worth the Fall came out. And even though I’m terribly behind on my TBR pile (which does contain several Claudia Connor books), I happily picked this one up from Netgalley and dived right in, secure in the knowledge that I’d love it. And guess what? Yeah, no surprise...I loved it.

First of all, Claudia Connor writes grown-up books. I’m not talking about X-rated stuff, mind you. (Even though the sex scenes are sufficiently spicy for the genre) I’m talking about good old fashioned, low angst, feel-good romances featuring smart heroines and heroes who aren’t domineering alphaholes and who actually TALK to each like real life adults. Her characters have real-life problems and real-life responsibilities, which makes them so much more relatable than the billionaire-rockstar-shifter-manwhore-virgin types you so often find in Romancelandia. Her books are always a refreshing break from the wackadoo nonsense that seems to plague so many other books. (*cough* The Magic Cupcake *cough*) (link to review)

Nora is a great heroine. She’s a smart, determined, hard-working single mom who doesn’t waste time having pity parties about her sad past or plotting how to snag a man. Her son is the light of her life, and I loved that about her. I also liked that she was smart enough to admit when she was in over her head with her home repairs and was willing to graciously accept Zach’s (the hero’s) help. (I can’t abide romance heroines who desperately need help but refuse it out of sheer stubbornness. Smart women know when they can handle matters on their own and when they should ask for help. Asking for help doesn’t make you any less of a feminist. End of PSA.)
​
Zach is a tender-hearted, nice-guy hero. (And y’all know I LOVE me some nice-guy heroes). Watching a former “let’s keep it casual” guy fall ass-over-elbow for Nora, who didn’t really want anything to do with dating him at first, was a pretty fun ride. (And it doesn’t hurt that he’s super sexy and helps take care of the baby. I ask you: is there anything hotter than a hot guy taking care of a baby? I think not.)

So, long-story-short, I highly recommend this one. It can be easily read as a standalone. Happy 1-clicking, folks!

Full disclosure: We received a free ARC from NetGalley.

Claudia Connor is an wonderful storyteller. In a very short period of time, I read Waiting For You, the fifth book from The McKinney Brothers series. This novel focuses on Zach Walker, a firefighter and recurring secondary character from the earlier books in the series. ER nurse Nora Sellers is a single mom, and she is Zach's love interest in the story. Both characters suffer from tragic pasts, which prevents them from committing and finding true love. Once they meet, hey share an attraction that cannot be denied.

I enjoyed this sometimes emotional and heartwarming story. Zach and Nora are an engaging couple, and their sexy times are hot and passionate. Ms. Connor evolves their romance with hope and longing. Nora's ten-month-old son is a real cutie, and he is easy to love. If you are looking for a well-written romance with characters that are simple to connect too, then pick up a copy of this book.

Hot fire fighter, Single Mom, stubborn no relationships attitude wrapped up with Claudia Connor as the author?? This one is a must read. I was looking forward to reading all of the books of Hannah's brothers after she got her HEA. This is Hannah and Nick's brother Zach's story.

Zach runs into Nora as part of his job and then she ends up getting hurt. His need to help brings him to her but his heart is what keeps bringing him back into her life.

Loved seeing the slow burn from friendship to romance with these two. They both have some healing to do in order to move forward and I loved seeing the trust build between them

Two brothers to go and one is still MIA. Can't wait to get his story since I feel like we don't know him at all. Always a wonderful read with this author. Grab it today!

I'm going to start by saying that I didn't love the first book in this series, but I have such love for the books in the "original" series that this one spins off from that I couldn't give up just yet. Boy am I glad I hung in there!!

I loved Zach and Nora (eventually). Loaded with feels and romance, Waiting For You checked all my boxes. And, I'm not even going to start on the fact that there's a baby in the mix. Babies are my kryptonite!! I loved seeing some old friends from the previous books and I can't wait to see where this series goes next.

Playboy Zach Walker meets nurse Nora when he brings a drunk driver to the ER. When the drunk driver ends up injuring Nora, Zach can't seem to get Nora off his mind. He begins to spend time with her and her son and starts to realize just what he's been missing and what he's been looking for in his life.

Nora is not looking for a relationship. She’s had some bumps in the past that have her wanting to stand on her own but as hard as she tries, she just can’t forget Zach and how he makes her feel.

I adored Zach's and Nora's story. It's a quiet story of two people falling in love and having to decide on happiness. It was really sweet in so many ways and Claudia Connor does what she does best by making my heart swoon over Zach's interactions with toddler Will. There's a lot of heat between Zach and Nora too, but she's just as shy as he is when it comes to committing to their relationship. Nora really has to be wooed by Zach and he does an awesome of job of it!

There’s lots of interaction between the Walker and McKinney families in this book, especially between Zach and Hannah that I loved. Like the rest of the Walkers, Zach’s life was influenced by their family tragedies, and it was great to see Zach's true happiness with Nora and Will, and how his siblings and were happy for him too. It made me want to go back and read Hannah's story, which made me want to read Nick's story and had me going back to Matt's and so on and son on. Any book that makes me want to do a reread of an entire series is a 5 star read for me!

If you are looking for lots of drama, Waiting for You isn’t it – but if you want a really sweet love story and happily ever after, it does the job.

WAITING FOR YOU is the fifth instalment in Claudia Connor’s contemporary, adult THE MCKINNEY BROTHERS , McKinney/Walker cross-over romance series. This is firefighter Zach Walker, and single mother/ER nurse Nora Sellers’ storyline. WAITING FOR YOU can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order for backstory and cohesion. Zach is Nick’s brother (Worth the Wait #4), and Hannah Walker (Worth the Risk #2).

Told from dual third person perspectives (Zach and Nora) WAITING FOR YOU follows the building relationship between firefighter Zach Walker, and single mother/ER nurse Nora Sellers. A freak accident in the ER found Nora Sellers struggling to look after her son, and the repairs at her new ‘fixer-upper’. Feeling guilty for the injuries incurred by our story line heroine, firefighter Zach Walker offered his services to help Nora with the big and little jobs around the house including help with her ten month old son Will. What ensues is the building relationship between Zach and Nora, and the potential fall-out as Nora’s past resurfaces bringing issues of trust back to the present.

Zach Walker doesn’t do relationships, and struggles with the what-ifs and whys. Meeting Nora Sellers gives Zach a hope for the future, a hope that will be dashed by Nora’s inability to let go of the past. Nora Sellers battles between head and heart as it pertains to letting Zach Walker into their lives. A single mother with no family of which to speak, meeting Zach and his extended McKinney/Walker family is more than Nora is able to handle.

The relationship between Zach and Nora is one of immediate attraction but Nora’s only concern is her ten month old son, a child whose only support system is our story line heroine. With only a week on the job, Nora will come face to face with her future, and the man who would steal her heart. Zach Walker knows he wants Nora Sellers but convincing Nora he is no longer the player she believes him to be, is a lot harder than expected. The $ex scenes are passionate but mostly implied without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters including Abby and Matt (Worth the Fall #1), Hannah and Stephen (Worth the Risk #2), Nick and Mia (Worth the Wait #4); several co-workers from the hospital ER, and Zach’s fellow firefighters, as well as in the introduction of Zach’s brother Luke.

WAITING FOR YOU focuses on family, friendship, brotherhood and love. The premise is entertaining, engaging and captivating; the characters are charismatic and spirited; the romance is seductive and flirtatious. WAITING FOR YOU is a wonderful and inviting story of romance and love.

There is just something about Ms. Connor and this series that leaves me with a Happy Face & Goofy Smile.

The McKinney/Walker is one of my favourite series and when I saw this on Netgalley I just had to request it.

Zach Walker firefighter a slight commitment phobe a reformed manho still hasn't processed what happened to his sister Hannah. But he meets his game changer. Nora Sellers.

I loved Zach, he is a knight in tarnished armour.

Nora Sellers has been alone all her life and it is hard for her to trust people and put down roots with an incident at the hospital where she works she meets the one man that will change everything. Zach Walker.

I docked a star because I wasn't a fan of Nora but she grew on me and we became friends, we shall never be best buds though.

Waiting for You is a heartfelt romance full of feelz, sweet with an adorable baby (I'm a sucker for single parents, like catnip peeps) that will most likely melt the coldest of hearts.

A must read!

‘Waiting For You’ tells the story of ER nurse Nora Sellers and firefighter Zach Walker. Single mother Nora is weary of starting something with Zach, and he in turn is a little weary of all that dating a single parent entails. But the two are drawn to each other and with the help of some home renovations and meddling Walker/McKinney family members, these two may just be what the other really needs.
I am a huge Claudia Connor fan. She has such a way with writing love stories without any undue angst that I can read her books in a single sitting. ‘Waiting For You’ has everything I love in a romance, lots of chemistry between the characters, great dialogue, cute babies. What’s not to love?
The only bad thing about finishing a Claudia Connor book is knowing that you have like a whole year to wait until she releases another book.

I love Claudia Connor and I love her books. After reading Worth the Risk, I wanted Hannah Walker's four yummy brothers to each get books. Then Worth the Wait came out(Nick's Book) and I was so excited to read it, until I read it. It was a total disappointment to me. So when I seen Zach's book on Netgalley I was a bit leery to get it. I love Claudia Connor's books so much I figured Nick's book was just a fluke and decided to give Zach a try. I was right Waiting for you was such a good read. I just loved it so hard.

Zach was everything I ever loved in a Claudia Connor hero. He was sexy, strong, sweet, caring, loyal and had just enough of a damaged soul that he made you want to kiss it and make it better. Nora also had some issues from her past, but she was smart, capable and very likable. Zach and Nora was very sweet together, but Zach and Nora's son Will melted my heart. I was really glad there wasn't a ton of drama in this book. Overall I loved it and I can't wait the read Luke's book.

Waiting For You
By: Claudia Connor

📚💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕📚

Easily rooting for Nora and Zach!!!


Well let me start by saying I have become a huge fan of Ms.Connor. She writes with so much intensity and emotion pulled from each book it’s felt page after page. Some are quick witted story lines that are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat. So being able to read this love story didn’t disappoint. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills.

When ER nurse Nora Sellers is hurt in a hospital scuffle, firefighter Zach Walker blames himself. Blaming himself is nothing new. He’s been blaming himself for years for the trauma his baby sister endured as a teenager. Though with his happy–go–lucky attitude no one would know it. He’s good at his job, he’s a good brother, and a good friend, but Zach decided long ago he wasn’t husband and father material.
Even so, when Zach learns Nora is a single mother with a house that needs his help, he can’t walk away. After a few days with Nora and her ten month old son, he knows he doesn’t want to.
But Nora’s wary. She learned at a young age that the only person she can count on is herself. Now with a baby, a job, and a fixer–upper house, the last thing Nora wants is a sexy firefighter, making her heart flutter. But Zach is more than what he seems, and the more she gets to know him the harder he is to resist.
She’s been brave all her life. Can she be brave one more time and take a chance of a lifetime with her heart?

I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

I am a big fan of both the McKinney and the Walker clans and Zach's story fell right in line with the awesomeness of this series. First off, I enjoy Claudia Connor's writing immensely. She has a way with her writing that draws me into the emotions of the storyline.

Zach is the hot (hehe) firefighter and Nora is the ER nurse about to set him on fire. Nora is a very sweet and relatable character, struggling with living on her own her young son. When she has never been able to rely on anyone other than herself, Nora is taken aback at Zach's offer to help and willingness to follow through. But Zach is persistent and present.

The slow dance of their romance is sweet and a great read. I loved catching up with the McKinney's and the inclusion of the Walkers into their brood.

Thanks NetGalley and Claudia Connor for the great read.
