Single dad Ben Greyson wants only to retain custody of his two stepdaughters. A dysfunctional childhood has made family the most important thing in his life. When his late wife's parents sue for custody, a desperate Ben is left with two choices – run away with his girls or marry his next-door neighbor.
Jamie Garven wants to be a mother. She's intrigued by her handsome new neighbor and falls in love with his little girls. Then Ben is faced with losing his children, and Jamie agrees to marry him for a chance at motherhood. They're determined to show the world, and the girls' grandparents, two loving parents.
Their marriage of convenience turns into unexpected love. But Ben interprets Jamie's efforts to save their family as betrayal—they could lose everything, including each other.
Between The Pages
I love the cover and I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The characters are well-developed from the main characters to the secondary cast. I wanted to knock some sense into Ben - who has huge trust issues, but the author does a good job of making his character infuriating and likeable at the same time. Jamie is a wonderful leading lady. The cast is equally enjoyable from brothers and sisters, to Ben’s girls – who are adorable, and Jamie’s scene-stealing pets. The family drama grabs the attention and keeps you turning the pages. The misunderstands within Jamie’s family is emotionally charged, and once you learn about Ben’s history, you’ll understand why he overacts the way he does. This book is an emotional ride from start to finish. I highly recommend this third book in the Masonville Series, which reads well on its own. I hope another book is in the works.
