Series: Fluke My Life #4
Life isn't turning out the way Courtney dreamed it would. The same goes for Lucas. After a divorce, a relocation, and a house purchase, Courtney is finally moving on with her life and is determined to be happy and successful. What she doesn't expect is the handsome single father that makes her question her decision to be man-free. Lucas has always wanted forever with a good woman and to build a family like the one he grew up with, unfortunately his ex had a different idea. What he finds with Courtney could be the dream of all dreams, but he'll have to win her over while navigating tricky exes, a daughter yearning for a mother, and Courtney's most well-kept secret.
I was drawn to Courtney right away and absolutely loved how she stood up for herself despite all the conflicting feelings she had regarding her ex. She made up her mind and was her own first champion and supporter. The way Courtney's boundaries included both steel and softness were wonderful. What also endeared her to me was the way I could absolutely relate to her reflecting on the little things that proved her marriage wasn't as happy as she thought it was. Her honesty despite her insecurities gave her appeal, her desire to be loved and vulnerability were character strengths rather than flaws, and her heart was her best asset. I saw her shortcomings but loved her both because of and in spite of them.
Lucas was even more wonderful than Courtney in my opinion. As much as I loved her, I loved Lucas and then some. His commitment to Courtney showed in everything he did and there was nothing he wasn't willing to do to show her how invested he was in them as a family. Never letting his ex get the upper hand, upfront honesty and transparency, not rushing into a sexual relationship yet still sharing intimacy, and the way he was with his daughter all came together to make a superlative male lead.
There were probably some things about the story that bothered me while I was reading, but by the time I was done I couldn't remember a single one. The whole story won me over and made me wish I had started this series from the beginning. Supportive side characters that enhanced and didn't detract from the story added another layer of depth without distracting from this particular romance. I'm eager to see if one particular character gets a story of her own. For now, I'll have to satisfy myself with starting from the beginning.

From New York Times bestselling author
Aurora Rose Reynolds comes a flirty romantic comedy of big love and second
chances.
Courtney Williams wanted forever. She got six years of empty
promises, a divorce, and a well-deserved settlement that’s paid her way to
Manhattan. She has a new home under renovation, a new job, and a do-over as a
happy “single in the city”—until she meets an architect with designs on more
than her beams. He’s also a devoted single dad, a great cook, and has dark
lashes to die for. Too good to be true. Now all Courtney can do is whisper, Oh
no, not again.
Divorced Lucas Fremont isn’t looking to get swept away. But
how can he not with a woman this sweet and sexy? She’s making
his broken heart beat fast. His sister-in-law, Fawn, says go for it. But as
cautious as Courtney is, Lucas has to do more than that. He has to fight for
it. Now all he can do is think, Don’t let this one get away.
But Courtney comes with a secret. And Lucas comes with a
bitter ex. If love is to stand a chance, they’re going to have to take a
chance.
