My
review:
Molly and Liam where high
school sweethearts. They had their futures planned out and were looking forward to
the birth of their first child. But in an instant, all that was taken away. Molly
was left to put the pieces back together. After being in a small slump of
depression, Molly realized she needed to refocus and think of Stella’s future.
Molly hasn't been with
anyone since Liam, and she’s left her engagement ring on her finger this entire
time to remind her of their time together. She has come back from the loss of
Liam, to pick up the pieces, and create a life for Stella. Working in the
kitchen had always been a passion for her so she applied for a culinary school.
Molly uprooted her daughter and took her best friend to Chicago looking for a
better, brighter future.
Drake is a very powerful,
wealthy, sexy, alpha male who knows what he wants and will stop at nothing till
he gets it. Drake is the manager of the hotel she interns. This time he wants
Molly, but she wants nothing to do with him. She has no interest of becoming
one of his many women. Molly tries very hard, but fails to avoid a very
persistent Drake. There is absolutely without a doubt an instant connection
between the two and it scares Molly because she hasn't felt like this since
Liam.
Their relationship purely
starts off as a sexual one, a very HOT and heavy one I might add. Then it
starts progressing quickly into something more. Is Molly ready to take on this
big of a commitment? Drake soon realizes there is more at stake here when he
sets his eyes on little Stella; who has never had a father figure in her life.
They all seem to settle into a comfortable family routine. Drake will do
anything and everything to keep both Molly and Stella happy. They try to keep
their relationship a secret, but they are constantly being tested with the
paparazzi, crazy exes, even friends with ulterior motives.
Because Drake is manager of
the restaurant, their relationship makes Molly’s internship a hard one. She
wants to prove herself because of her talents, not because she is sleeping with
Drake. Being with Drake could cause her to lose everything that she has worked
so hard for. If this internship doesn't work out, she doesn't have a backup
plan because she has been independent for so long.
Will they be able to
overcome all that is thrown at them and stay together? Will Drake be able to
commit to one person, and be a responsible father? Is Molly willing to risk her
internship for a chance with Drake? Will she be able to let someone in and be
there for her and Stella?
Brooke did a good job
creating a story line and I really did get hooked. However, I feel that it needed
something more to differentiate it from all the other books out there. It seemed
like a typical romance book. I think Drake and Molly’s relationship progressed
way to fast (especially for a grieving, single mother), it just seemed unreal. When the book ended, it pretty much opened up so many questions for the reader. Where in
the world will you take the second book? You definitely threw me a curve ball there! Overall, good job. I am looking forward to the release of the next book
and to hearing more about the story.
