At the tender age of seventeen, Mary Beth discovered the family she thought would see her through anything couldn’t accept her one mistake. Thank goodness for her best friends that stepped up to support her decision to keep her child. Seven years later together with her friends, she’s created a successful business on the verge of a large expansion.
But the desire to be accepted by her family continues to be a failure that taints all her accomplishments and has her making concessions she never thought she would.
Elias Marquez was content with his life. He definitely wasn’t looking for the vibrant redhead down the hall from him. After a chance encounter, he can’t escape the need to be in her company again. He wants to explore the possibilities and the undeniable spark her touch inspires.
Torn between trying to right the past and accepting that she can only control her own life is Mary Beth truly ready for the love Elias is prepared to offer as a future?
Review by Twinsie Angie
I was given this audio book for an honest review by the author.
The narrator by Kat Maxwell is amazing. I loved seeing her name on the book for narrator. She does a great job voicing the characters. She is one of my favorite narrators for audio books.
Mary Beth is normally a strong, steady, and responsible business owner. She and her 3 besties from high school built a business and are building toward a better future. These girls are her everything and she will do everything to be the best for her friends/family.
Mary Beth is such a strong woman until her baby daddy, Nate, comes crawling back. She is in a bad spot. She keeps falling back into the sheets with him and will not move forward. She lives in the “what if” he finally comes back. She also thinks she needs to be available for the father of her son. Which Nate fully takes advantage of. He knows he can worm his way back in to her life.
Eli is the swinging bachelor who moves into Mary Beth’s apartment. He catches a glimpse of her when moving in and cannot stop trying to get to know her. They two have crazy chemistry plus major respect for one another. They love to banter and grow to love each other but Nate will not let this love grow without issues.
Mary Beth has a lot of other issues besides her baby daddy and that is her real family. The birth of her illegitimate son caused her to be disowned by her parents. When she stumbles upon some family drama, she and her friends have to be there to support her as well as Eli.
I loved the story and seeing Case and Gabby plus seeing where the family will be headed in the future.

With characters yelling “It’s my turn damn it!!!” She tries to explain to them that alas, she can only type a hundred and twenty words a minute and they will have wait their turn. She knows eventually they find their way out of her head and to her fingertips and she looks forward to sharing them with you.
When Michel can suppress the voices in her head she can be found at a scouting event or cheering for her son in a variety of sports. She would like to thank her family for always being in her corner and especially her husband for supporting her every dream and never letting her give up.
