Synopsis: You can say I had it all. The fancy house, top of the line car, lots of friends and more money than anyone could ever imagine. On the outside, we were the perfect family. No one knew about my abusive father and my mother who drank herself into oblivion every night. My name is Karly and I have scars, deep scars that no one knows about, and when my parents died I was left alone and on my own, to fight through life with no help.
When it came to life and happiness, I had it all until my world was turned upside down. My name is Nicholas and my wife, the love of my life, left me and our new baby girl without as much as an explanation. I didn’t want to accept it, but after our divorce was final and four long years passed, I started to lose hope that she’d ever come back. Emma was growing so fast and I needed help. My sister recommended that I hire her friend, Karly, as Emma’s nanny. I took a chance on bringing another woman into my little girl’s life. Did I do the right thing?
As many days and nights are spent together, feelings can no longer be denied and a relationship is formed. Life is about taking chances and learning how to fall, but when the past comes back, will they be strong enough to fight through and trust each other? Or will all they worked for fall apart?
Excerpt:
“You’re mine tonight so make sure you stay by my side,” I whisper in her ear. My hands hold onto her hips as we dance. Damn she can dance. She takes the lead, helping me move with her.
The music is loud with the bass bumping against the speakers causing the crowd to go wild. The atmosphere is screaming fun and sex.
The music changes to ‘Hold It Against Me’ by Brittany Spears. The alcohol finally kicks in. My hands go on a mission and find the spot they want. “Fuck baby! No panties tonight?”
A seductive smile comes on her face. “Just. For. You.” I let out a growl and push my fingers inside her.
“Baby you’re so fucking wet.”
“I’m always wet when it comes to you.” She bites down on my shoulder whispering for more. I feel her body shudder against mine. Karly pulls down her dress and guides me off the dance floor towards the bathroom. Yes!
Review:
Karly has had it tough. She had the perfect family until her father got hooked on drugs and alcohol. Then he beat her. He almost killed her with a piece of broken glass. He did cut up her face and she still has the scars. Her mother saved her by killing her father, then she killed herself so Karly was left alone with just her trust fund. Her boyfriend at the time broke up with her while she was still in the hospital.
Now four years later she is graduating college and moving in with Alexis, a friend she found when she was student teaching. Her now best friend/ex-boyfriend will be backpacking across Europe for the foreseeable future so she won't get to see him. She is hoping to find a teaching position but nothing has come up yet.
Nicholas is moving back home from LA with his daughter. His ex-wife, the super model is off to photo shoots, not really looking back. Nicholas is moving in with his sister Alexis while the house he is building is being finished. That's where he meets Karly. He is instantly drawn to her innocence and strength but he is not looking for anything permanent. One thing his failed marriage has taught him is love sucks. Besides it would not be fair to his daughter for her to get attached to someone only to have them leave too.
Karly and Nicholas both try to fight their attraction. Well not really. The author tells us they are fighting it but within a week they are together. When Nicholas's house is complete Karly moves in as the nanny but that lasts only a couple of days until she is in his bed.
I enjoyed this book but did find a few problems along the way. And the ending made me want to throw my Kindle across the room. It felt like it was rushed and the cliff-hanger made me want to slap Nicholas upside the head.
I give this one 3 stars but will probably pick up the next one just to see if Karly has enough strength to tell Nicholas to get lost, unfortunately I don't think she will.
