Sometimes the wrong choice can be just right . .
Fun and fearless, Cora Lewis knows how to keep
her tattooed "bad boy" friends at the Marked in line. But beneath all
that flash and sass is a broken heart. Cora won't let herself get burned again.
She's waiting to fall in love with the perfect man—a baggage-free, drama-free
guy ready for commitment. Then she meets Rome Archer.
Rome Archer is as far from perfect as a man can
be. He's stubborn, rigid, and bossy. And he's returned from his final tour of
duty more than a little broken. Rome's used to filling many roles: big brother,
doting son, supersoldier—but none of those fit anymore. Now he's just a man
trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life while keeping the
dark demons of war and loss at bay. He would have been glad to suffer through
it alone, until Cora comes sweeping into his life and becomes a blinding flash
of color in a sea of gray. Perfect may not be in the cards, but perfectly
imperfect could just last forever . . .
My Review: Rome is grumpy, or better yet, Captain No Fun. He just returned home from service and is having a hard time adjusting. When Cora dumps a beer over his head, well that just added to how his day is going. So off to a random bar he goes. Where his day just continues go down hill after some biker punks get out of hand.
What I love, is that it's finally Cora's turn and I've been waiting to see how this fiesty lady is gonna find her Mr. Perfect. She is colorful, strong, takes care of her friends and keeps them boys in check at the shop. You just instantly love Cora from before, but now you'll love her even more.
Rome and Cora weren't supposed to be anything. He's just Rule's brother and Captain No Fun. One night Cora grabs Rome and brings his drunk behind back to her place. Suddenly Rome is all over Cora and the night takes a turn that neither of them expected and lead to becoming a friends with benefits situation.
That first night lead to a new chapter for them. Cora is expecting now. So they agree to try this out for real. Be a real couple without the sex and turns out, they are just what they need.
They go through so much and those moments
will keep you on the edge of your seat waiting and hoping. They love eachother
and together will creste the most loving family.
