If you get the opportunity to read this....Say Yes lol (see what I did there)

This was such a good story.

Colton was sexy, sweet, alpha - damn near perfect. He wasn't a manwhore, and he was devoted to Lindsey from the moment he first saw her.

Lindsey was smart, funny and independent. She ran a successful business and was doing pretty well with her life. The attraction to Colton was instant and it freaked her out a bit. Not only because it had been a long while since she had been in a relationship, but because he was her neighbor/landlord.

When the two got together, there were sparks and Colton was so sweet and patient with Lindsey. I also d there was a dash of suspense to the story.

-absolutely zero cheating
-ow drama - none
-om drama - Lindsey lost her husband while he was on a mission in Afghanistan. I never felt Colton was second best AT ALL. It was mentioned they were apart more that they actually got to be together and she had so much respect for her first husband -

I knew he was filling a part I didn’t realize was hollow. A part that Paul had never filled. I had loved my husband with all of myself at the time, I just didn’t know there was more until Colton came along and started shedding light into unrecognized darkness

I must say, a dead spouse is really iffy for me and I felt this author did it well and respectfully.
-Lindsey pushes Colton away for about a month - they are together but just getting to know each other
-steamy sex scenes (even the ones that Colton imagined!)
-good epilogue about 3 years out. It was sweet but I would have d even further (yes, I'm a greedy epilogue whore, no, I have no shame)epilogue-good hot-alpha hot-and-sexy ...more27 s Chantal ??1,361 822 Shelved as 'skip-next-please'

GOING TO SKIP THIS ONE.
Firstly, the hero has my son's name (Colton) but mostly because she was married and in love before.
"I am proud to have been his wife, no matter for how short a time. I still miss him every day, and the sharp pain of loss is always there. But, it’s dulled over the years, the razor’s edge not digging quite so deep. I shake my head to dispel the fog of memories..."
These types of second love stories very rarely work out for me, in fact it's only happened 3 or 4 times.
I may go back one day to read it but for right now I'd rather skip it.
After all so many books, so little time.
For those who enjoy second love stories, go ahead and enjoy.
Still love this author and will read other books from her.20 s Barbara?1,616 411

Loved how Colton wouldn't give up and was immediately drawn to Lindsay. Dead exes aren't usually my thing but this was nicely done. However, there were a lot of typos...it was annoying. book-boyfriend dirty-talker insta-love ...more13 s Janie870 82

Air Force Pilot alpha hottie!

I love this book and the nod of the parts to our heroes that protect us and serve our country. The book mentioned that Lindsey doesn't have anyone from the armed forces pay for their meal at her bakery. It reminded me of when I was a teen and working at my first job in McDonald's that the manager there always made sure that military and first responders (police, firefighters, EMTs) didn't pay for their meals. I always thought what he did was so cool, especially since other McDonald's never really did that (I sometimes helped out at other locations).

I loved this book with the insta-attraction and the alpha male thing going on with Colton, though there were some editing issues that could be cleared up with better proofreading. This book is a standalone story so there isn't more to read, but I can't wait to read other books by Elle Christensen or her pen name (shared with co-author Rochelle Paige) Fiona Davenport.0-read-2017 alpha-male chef-food ...more7 s Denna410 140 Read

Steamy and sweet Insta love story between widow Lindsey and ex military pilot Colton.

Lindsay is a bakery owner and a widow. Colton is a ex military man who owns and lives next to the duplex Lindsay lives in. They don't actually met til a party where Colton wants her but Lindsay is very hesitant. Colton pursues and wears down her defenses but someone else wants her too and Colton is determined to not let anything happen to the woman he wants to start a family with.

Well this was one I was really looking forward too. I love a sweet heroine, a heroine that can cook or bake, and a alpha type hero. Sounds great. Unfortunately, I could tell from the beginning that this wasn't going to go well. I didn't connect to the heroine and as it progressed she became annoying to me. The hero was better but even he fell very flat. I didn't buy their love story. It didn't feel that real or that deep to me. Many of GRs friends know I am not a fan of book advertised as humorous or rom com. This wasn't advertised that but it had that humor that I hate in it anyway. It felt forced and the jokes or lightness I was supposed to get fell very flat. The suspense part really wasn't up to par and was something that to me would have been better left out of the book. Especially the climax of finding out who and why and even how they handled it. she throws away knife(hello evidence) and they put the villain outside unconscious until the police come

So while I thought this would be a great sweet read it just didn't live up to the blurb for me. 2017-lal-tbr-challenge annoying-or-immature-heroines book-didn-t-work-for-me ...more5 s Carmen Rae1,533 179

Short hot insta love with a little bit of suspense and drama. Perfect KU before bed reading.insta-or-fated ku quickie4 s **Elle**Bee**Double U**2,192 24

I actually d reading this short story. I'm pretty picky when books mention being considered a "military romance", but I wouldn't really consider this one since one military man died, and the other was honorable discharged.

That being said, even though I d the book, I have to ask where the heck was the editor for this one? I've read other Elle Christensen books before and have never seen so many glaring mistakes on a page! There were randomly misspelled words, words added in the sentences that didn't belong. It was just a mess!military4 s Coco.V50k 4 Want to read
