Ever feel like your entire life has been planned out for you before you were even born?
As the only girl in the Sutter family and daughter of an ‘almost Olympian’, my parents have always had goals for me. I never questioned them and always strived to be the best. I thought I knew what I wanted in life until I didn’t.
One mistake, and the straight path I had planned was suddenly crooked. Goals that I’d worked for since I was little didn’t seem so important anymore; And the one place I never thought I’d go back to was the only place I wanted to be… home, where I found comfort in the most unlikely place.
At six years my senior, Brock Foster has always been unattainable. He was the boy that filled my fantasies. I resigned myself years ago to never feel his touch, never know what his kisses were like, or to have him wrap me in his arms. I never thought when I came home that he would still be there, or that he’d remember me.
Sometimes the future that we think we want isn’t what we need. Sometimes those bumps and turns mold us into who we were always meant to be, and sometimes they lead us to who we should have always been with.
Brock Foster helped me to embrace my path. He taught me to stop and catch the raindrops, and open myself to love again.
I received this book for an honest review.
Oh boy Nick Sutter there is a new Alpha in town. Who cares that he is a former student, good friend and trusted member of your football staff…he is going to become you enemy to the 100th degree!!! Ok it’s not THAT serious but when a man makes a play for your baby girl……daddy isn’t going to like it or him very much!! Yeah can you tell I loved seeing Nick get so fired up and having Leah there to “talk him off the ledge” so to speak!!??
Emma Sutter loved Brock for as long as she can remember but given there was a 5 year age gap there was no way anything was going to happen plus it’s not like he thought of her that way.
Brock Stone always was drawn to Emma but she was hands off for 2 reasons : her age and her daddy!!
When Emma is in college but returns for the summer the two have a chance meeting. He knew her right away but she wasn’t so sure. The chemistry is there and crazy thick. They start sneaking around behind old dad’s back. Brock and Emma are falling fast and hard but the sneaking around is wearing Brock down. When Emma is about to come clean to her folks about Brock, her past comes crashing down hard all around her. Secrets she never wanted told are revealed and she is left drowning. Brock is a mess and confused.
This book makes my heart so happy but I am left confused….do I stay with Team Nick or do I jump on to Team Brock? Any fan of the Shattered Series will be as excited as I was to read this book. I loved revisiting all of my old favorites, plus seeing their kids grown up. I can’t wait for Aaron and Ryan’s books because those boys…..especially Aaron are trying my nerves!!!! Kick his butt Mel!!!
My favorite scenes : The letter Leah gives to Em…teary I tell ya annnd the Epilogue. OMG Nick Sutter you are a trouble maker!!!
I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
I loved the Sutter family so to be able to see their children grow and watch their parents struggle with the children’s decisions was amazing. They are my family I feel what they feel.
Emma went away to college but is now home on summer break. Something happened that changed her but she is not saying what. She is keeping that secret locked up close to her heart. Emma wanted to get away forget the past go back to what she knows and loves her family. What she doesn’t expect it to fall for a man let a lone Brock Foster her first crush.
Brock Foster is back in his home town working for Nick Sutter when he runs into Emma Sutter his world is shifted. He has feelings for Emma but with her age and her dad being Nick she has always been OFF LIMITS and even though they are older same rules apply since he now works for Nick. This has trouble written all over it.
I am Team Brock all the way he stole my heart after reading this one. I loved seeing Nick deal with his daughter and her issues. I also enjoyed meeting Emma’s best friend Melinda and cannot wait to see what is in store for her. There were some great scenes in this book that had me crying and laughing. nick has not changed I don’t think he ever will, he will always be a kid at heart. I am so excited to read more about these Sutter kids. I have a feeling I will want to do harm to Aaron when his book comes out but somehow I think Mel will turn him around.
