I should know better than to let Tessa
McDaniels pretend to be my fiancée.
I’m a dark, dangerous disaster who leaves destruction in his wake.
But when she offers to pretend to marry me to help me get my kids back, I can’t
refuse. They are the one thing I have left to fight for.
Milo Hendricks found me at my lowest.
Battered and broken by my ex with no place to call home. When he insists I stay
at his cabin with him, he sparks the feelings I’ve tried to suppress.
He’s only supposed to be my friend, but every time he comes in the room, he
makes my knees weak.
This gorgeous, tatted, mountain-of-a-man who’s riddled with secrets.
Tessa is everything I crave but can’t have.
I shouldn’t touch her.
Shouldn’t make it real.
But she’s a red-headed flame I can’t resist, and I can’t help but take her to
my bed.
Now we’re falling into an abyss of passion and need.
Loving her is easy.
Only we’re tied in ways we don’t know.
I’ll do anything to protect her, but it’s my past that might destroy her in the
end…
My Review: Tessa and Milo are so darn cute together!
Milo is a bouncer and takes it seriously as well as being
good at it. Tonight he gets to escort the owner's wife and best friend in and
make sure no one get tooooo friendly with them. Done many times before and the
second he notices Tessa you already know how much he likes and care for
her.
Tessa's boyfriend though? That's a piece of crap dude who not
only cut her night before it really began but you can sense instantly he's not
worth it. He'll show his true colors later that night when Milo goes to leave after
closing only to notice Tessa standing outside and knowing somethings wrong and
confirms it right when he notices her face.
Milo is such a sweet guy and really likes Tessa that it's so
obvious in the little things, like making breakfast and charging her
phone. He's even ready to help her move onto the next chapter of her life
and leave that fool in the dust. Tessa's first need is fining a place to live
and well you can already guess what Milo says about that.
I loved every moment of this book. It's a sit down moment that instantly turns into an all day read, it's that powerful of a story for Tessa and Milo.
