BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Clayton Calhoun had been a soldier his entire life, but after nearly dying in an explosion, he decided to give up his military career and return to his hometown. But being back home isn’t as easy as he thought it would be, and soon he starts to miss the action that the Army Rangers provided. Feeling unsatisfied, he’s considers taking a job overseas and risking his life to do what he does best. But a close family friend throws him for a loop when he leaves him his very successful business. Clayton is faced with a big choice: Stay home and make his friends and family happy, or go overseas to do what he loves.
With so much on his plate the last thing Clayton was looking for was love.
But then Daisy Lee Gracen storms into his life.
The formerly wild widow of a Marine and mother of a little girl was the last thing he wanted or needed, but when the threat of a custody battle threatens to take away the only person Daisy has ever really loved, Clayton steps in and pretends to be her fiancé. It was supposed to be just for the summer. It was supposed to be no strings attached, but Clayton can’t get the woman off his mind or out of his heart and he wonders if a life without Daisy is a life worth having.
Will this just be a summer fling, or can the two overcome their pasts and find a future together?
REVIEW:
4.25 Hearts My goodness I loved this book. I have read most of the series. I some how missed My Curvy Valentine but I plan on reading that as soon as I can. But I have read the rest of the series and have loved every book.
This was a bit slow to get started but later I realized why. We needed a bit of backstory from both Daisy and Clayton to understand their relationship. Daisy has lost so much in her life and when her sister dies she is given custody of Aubrey, her niece. Her husband wants nothing to do with her niece and makes it hard but then he is killed and Daisy is on her own raising a little girl. Clayton has seen war and is finally home and lost in the world where he should feel secure. But Daisy is his solise in a crazy world. And then they are faking an engagement and things really heat up. And the story really blossoms.
I loved Daisy. She is sweet and real and so down to earth you want to be her friend. You know she is the kind of person who once she allows you in her life you are there to stay. Clayton is hard but once he opens up he really becomes soft and sweet. He never fails to take Daisy’s hand or tell her how much she means to him (even if he doesn’t say love). And then there is Aubrey. She is an 40 year old woman in a 7 year old body. She is written with an old soul and is a big part of the story.
You do not need to have read the series but I would recommend you do. The series wraps around curvy girls. These aren’t all big girls but they are “hard to fit” into the mold of the perfect woman. And sometimes reading a book without the perfect people is exactly what a girl needs.
