It was just another day in the life of being a small town cop.

I’m a protector at heart, and always have been.

Which is why I stepped up immediately after finding out I had a kid.

Well…to be honest, I didn’t believe it at first.

I actually thought it was a prank when the little girl was brought into the station.

It took a paternity test for me to really feel the gravity of the situation.

Fine, I didn’t handle it well at all.

But when I had proof Emily was really mine, nothing would stand in the way of me protecting her.

I may have gone a little overboard.

At least, that’s what my sexy neighbor thinks.

But what does she know? She let my kid drink out of a garden hose!

Sure, I did it as a kid, but I’m bald now. What if drinking out of a hose at such a young age ruined my chances of having a decent head of hair?

Am I really supposed to allow my child to be put in danger like that?

But the more I hang around with Katka, the harder I find it to ignore the logic in what she’s saying.

Maybe it’s the late night dancing she performs for me.

Or her crazy family that thinks I’m not good enough.

Whatever it is about her, it drives me to the edge.

All I think about is her.

All I want is her.

But she doesn’t want a kid.

Despite the passion building between us, I’m not the man she’s looking for.

I’ll just have to find a way to prove I’m exactly what she needs.

Cat gives this book 5 Meows with a 3 purr heat index...

Oh my gosh this series ended on such a high note. I knew it would be good, as all the books were, but who would've guessed it would’ve been one of the best. Do remember this series does need to be read in order plus with the Cortell Brothers series or you will be lost.

Lucas was one of Tyler and Penny’s friends and a cop on the force. Also Tyler’s partner. He is feeling a bit left out as all his friends have paired up and his thinning hair is getting worse so he’s shaved his head, grown a beard (and this becomes a big part of the story with all sorts of jokes) and finds himself a father of a 2 year old that won’t speak.

Nathan and Penny find him a house and now he’s also on his own. His neighbor is beautiful but odd and opposite him. He’s a neat freak and orderly and Katka a free spirit and slob. And who drinks out of a water hose let alone let’s a two year old?

This book was hilarious, fun, quirky and we got lots of the other characters. The romance and building a relationship with his daughter was good enough when suddenly came a surprise twist that really knocked me for a loop and had me on the edge of my seat. HOLY Cow I didn’t see that coming.

If you like small town romance, humor, friends that stick together, cute kids, opposites attract, I guess you could even say forced proximity as they are neighbors , shocking twists, a bit of suspense and hot sex. This is definitely for you. I highly recommend this series!

I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
