DETAILS

Synopsis

Emotionally constipated billionaire developer, Luke Masters might finally be learning to love. His strong sexy electrical contractor, Claire English has blown down his barriers and claimed his heart. Just because he’s decided to give this relationship thing a try, doesn’t mean it’s all smooth sailing. Old habits die hard and Luke’s had a lifetime to pick up the bad ones.

Claire’s battled desperately to keep her heart safe from the selfish billionaire who owns her body and wants her soul, but against her better judgment, she’s fallen in love. Luke has promised her the world and more importantly his heart. She’s not sure whether to believe him, but she’s already lost. It’s too late to turn back now.

With something far more sinister than a broken heart threatening to rip them apart can they find their way back to each other and the love they’re just learning to trust or will they lose everything?

Quote(s)

1.    For weeks, it was like he’d been loving under water, trying to push an impossible weight through his day, barely making it from morning to night. Missing her was an aching, gaping hole in his heart, and he’d do anything, including saying the words he’d never said to anyone before, to get her to come home with him.

2.    It almost killed me to walk away from you, Luke. I can’t fall back into the ways things were. I won’t survive it.

3.    She’d give him everything and forget to hold back anything for herself. Then in a few months, when he was tired of playing house again or got scared of commitment, he’d bolt, and she’d be left with nothing. A shell of the woman she was meant to be.

4.    Loving someone – the right someone – came as easily to Claire as breathing. It was holding back that caused her pain. Curtailing her natural inclination to share herself completely with the man she loved had come close to destroying her. To her, loving someone had always meant completely, no-holds-barred, not keeping anything back or protecting herself. It made her stronger, better, able to do what needed to be done.

5.    And as much as she’d loved being with a man strong enough to help her fly, she couldn’t do it if she couldn’t trust him to be her safety net, too.

6.    They both had to be strong, and they both had to be vulnerable if they stood a chance of making this work.

7.    Instead of growling at the thought of food, her stomach gave a little flip.

8.    Never trust an attorney unless you’re paying him and then only with caution.

9.    Food tastes better when it’s made in the things that belonged to the people who loved us.

10. “What’s with the boxes? Why are you taking stuff back to your old place?” he almost added Why are you keeping your old place? but he knew the answer to that. She didn’t trust this thing between them to work out, and she was leaving herself an exit strategy. He hated it because it meant she wasn’t ready for everything he wanted to give her, but he understood it. It was his fault she was holding back.

11. Instead of sending him bolting for the door to burn the image from his head with a string of fast cars and faster women, the idea of having a baby with Claire cracked something wide open in his chest, and he had his own Grinch-whose-heart-grew-three-times moment.

12. It just that just because a blessing isn’t planned for, doesn’t mean it isn’t a blessing.

13. She’d known she was pregnant. She’d made her peace with the morning sickness and strange cravings. Intellectually, she understood that they were having a baby, but even with the changes to her body, it hadn’t really sunk in until that moment that there was another person growing inside her. One that she and Luke made together.

14. We had the perfect set up until you and Matthews came along and fucked it all up.

15. A marriage is not a party. It only needs you and me.

Reading Experience

I really love how the author writes about the emotion and the feelings. It was spot on. And there’s a happily ever after! That’s what I’m looking for! I’m so happy for Luke and Claire! You guys are destined to be with each other.

 

Question(s)

1.    Who is we that Samson refers to?

 

Three Most Important Concepts in This Book

1.    Love is about compromise.

2.    Always communicate when one is in relationship. This is when the bond stands strong.

3.    Guys are protective of pregnant women not because they think that pregnant women are incapable but because they think that they can’t do anything about the pregnancy hence they will try to do more the help the pregnant momma.
