The last thing he wants is for four noisy students to move into the apartment upstairs.

And you can't know what you truly need until you stand to lose it.Buy at: Amazon | Barnes and Noble | BAM | Indiebound | Vroman’s | Book Depository | Powell’s | iTunes
This book was received from the publisher
in exchange for an honest review.
I am such a sucker for sexy guys who are adorable with their children
so naturally I loved this story!
Nadia was a great heroine. She was spunky and driven and sweet. I
thought the decisions she made were very mature and I thought they were perfect
for her life, if that makes sense. She was really great with kids and I loved
how she loved Sam, Ty’s son.
Ty was a total sweetheart. His dedication was awe-inspiring. Having a
child as young as he was and working full time, all while doing night
classes...just hearing about it made me exhausted. He was a definite
multi-tasker. I understood his reluctance to enter into a relationship because
The cast of supporting characters were exciting. Nadia’s roommates
especially. I can’t wait for their stories. The plot was so great and the
romance was five-star alarm hot! They had great chemistry, but
more importantly, they clicked really well.
I loved this start of a promising new adult series, and I am most
definitely looking forward to the next two books in the series.
Favorite Swoon-worthy Quote: In an instant,
Ty closed the distance between us and cupped my face in his hands. His palms,
oh, we’d been here before, but never like this. I licked my lips as his gaze
skated over my face, kindled like a jar of honey in the sunlight. He made the
hungriest sound I’d ever heard as he leaned in.
