I love Claudia Connor and this book is no exception. While I did miss the angst of her other recent two books this story was fun and easy to read and uplifting all the way to the end a great HEA for both characters.

contemporary romance that had me despairing at lost chances, then cheering and laughing at the same time!

Claire Franklin is all ready for her big day, waiting for the music to start. She gets a phone call from her fiancé Adam, and next thing she knows she’s on a honeymoon flight to the Dominican Republic for their honeymoon, alone. On her way to a solitary dinner she literally bumps into a handsome stranger, and has a wardrobe malfunction that won’t let them go! They share dinner, and decide to enjoy the beauty of the resort together while they can.

Dr. Deacon Montgomery is at the resort for a week long veterinary conference where he is giving a lecture. It’s the first time away from his 2 1/2 year old twins and responsibility at home. The mother of the twins left when they were infants, but thanks to his family they have grown and blossomed. Claire and Deacon form an instant attraction that shocked Claire. Was she really in love with Adam (her ex) or was she just settling? Deacon decides to stay past the convention and an island romance flourishes. All they know about each other is names, and they can’t fight the sexual attraction.

When Deacon doesn’t show for a planned excursion, she is immediately worried, but then finds out he left in the middle of the night. She didn’t know Deacon had received an emergency call from his parents, one of the twins, Maci had a ruptured appendix and was having immediate surgery. He was so agitated he realized he left without even knowing Claire’s last name. All she knew was she had been left .........again

A new job, and a new place in Chicago keeps her too busy to realize how much she misses Deacon. But suddenly a very unexpected gift from their romantic week throws her life into chaos. She even hires a PI to find him. Meanwhile Adam contacts her to let her know he is marrying the woman he was cheating on her with.

The anticipation of them finally finding each other kept me reading as fast as I could. Deacon can’t forget her, and Claire, even as her life is exploding around her, misses him terribly.

I love all of Ms. Connor’s stories, but this is a special one. It can be read as a stand-alone.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to review this wonderful story.

This book was like a caramel brownie fresh from the oven. Warm and delicious. Deacon and Clare will give you warm fuzzies and make you believe in love. I’m a sucker for the traditional romance and I always wish for more at the end of a Claudia Conner book. Hoping for a book with Conner & Jess....

I’m a big fan of single parent romances. Big patch-work families that tug on my heartstrings and bring a smile to my face. Claudia Connor managed that feat with her very first romance novel Worth the Fall and I’ve been a big fan ever since.

Love at Last was almost picture perfect.

A sweet romance that checked all my boxes. I devoured it, and felt utterly content with how the author brought the couple together. This novel had everything I like about a romance. Chemistry, sexual attraction, genuine friendship, and adorable kids.

It’s one of those feel good novels, that leave me satisfied in every way. Claudia Connor has a way with words, and a true talent writing characters that speak to me again and again. Genuinely great people, that struggle but never in an overly dramatic way. Her books are uplifting and beautiful executed, exactly as I like them.



There is really not much more to say. If you love sweet romances that make you feel good – this is the book to pick. You won’t be disappointed if you love a heartwarming story that engages, and touches your heart with its beautiful plot.

And who can say no to a single dad with adorable twins. A guy that goes the extra mile to find his love and make a life together happen. I certainly couldn’t. I was feeling all fuzzy and warm with a silly smile on my face, and didn’t leave my cozy reading spot until the END. I honestly could read her books all the time. I wouldn’t say no if she would be cracking out books every few month. She is one of my favorite authors. Her writing and storytelling speak to me every single time.

Review will be live on the blog on April 23rd 2018

I always love Claudia Connor books. Love at Last delivers on the sexy and heat with a healthy dose of sweet.

Claire and Deacon meet on a tropical island while she is solo on her honeymoon- or lady-moon now- and he is the featured speaker at a conference. They enjoy a lighthearted and fun dinner but the chemistry is undeniable. Deciding they can't pass up on what a secluded island promises, Claire and Deacon keep it simply about the chemistry and no outside influences. Which would have been perfect and all had an emergency not have called Deacon away before the two not only exchanged last names but numbers.

While Deacon is frantic to get home to the emergency- Claire once again feels used and not enough in the love department.

These two had a special passion and bond and they felt meant to be. Months of longing and searching turn up empty for Deacon but he can't let it go- he wants to find Claire. Claire's search reveal an untruth that she goes on and leads to even more heartbreak.

Finally- or should I say- AT LAST- common ground is found and Claire and Deacon reunite. Shock is what Deacon finds, but they both realize the feelings from the island are still there. Can they overcome the many obstacles that they now face since the months have past? I love the sweetness that was Deacon's home life and the wonderful man he is revealed to be on top of the sexiness of the island man.

Great read!
