Review
Kate was the first book I read by the author. I will be reading and reviewing the other soon, so keep an eye on the blog for those reviews!
Kate in a single mom trying to get her life together after a bad experience with her son’s father. Luke is detective and once he knows what he wants, he doesn’t take no for an answer! I liked him from the start. Luke tells Kate he wants her and that’s that. Kate is definitely more careful and hesitant. Andy is her everything and she thinks she’s too broken for a man.
I loved how this author wrote this book! It had me laughing, swooning and left me wanting more. Not only did we get the romance part, but there were some suspensful moments at well. The author gave us so much more than just a romance.
Luke and Kate slowly grow together. That is the best kind of romance in my opinion. I am a slowburn kind of girl, haha. It always makes it feel more realistic to me, especially considering Kate’s past. Kate really opened up in this book, slowly maybe, but she let herself love again and that’s not something to take for granted after being hurt the way she was!
On top of that, we get to read about an amazing family. The Dimarco family is definitely one you want to be a member of. They’re nuts and can be a bit rough around the edges, but they love each other, no questions asked. Welcoming Kate with open arms, wasn’t something they even thought of!
Even though all of these books are connected with the Dimarcos, you can read them seperately. The author definitely brings you up to speed on the other characters. I would definitely read them all though! But that’s just me :).
