So I took a chance on a new to me author and really enjoyed this story. It was a light, romantic, slightly suspenseful read and I found myself pleasantly surprised. Sofia, is adjusting  to a new town and a fresh start after leaving her last job. She meets Lindsay and they become friends. Fast forward to two years later and she meets Noah. There is insta love with the two characters. That was my only issue with the book. I prefer and need a slow burn but it is what it is! I loved the secondary characters, Lindsay and Marc. Loved how Sofia and Noah’s daughter Lexi interacted. Sofia was able to reach through her when Noah couldn’t! Sofia knew her place and didn’t try to replace her deceased mother Vanessa. There was one scene with Noah, Sofia and Lexi that I didn’t like and was happy Lindsay was there to talk some sense into them. Despite that one issue everything else was good and their interactions in the story seemed genuine.  Despite the insta love this was an enjoyable read for me and looking for to Lindsay and Marc’s story and  catching up with the gang.

His eyes locked onto Sofia’s. Noah tried swallowing but failed. His mouth, which had been fine a moment ago, now lacked even a drop of saliva. The woman was phenomenal. Her hair swept away from her made-up face in a twist, left her long neck exposed. The dress hugged her body and made his hands itch to run up and down those glorious curves. Oh man, her breasts… those breasts were magnificent. If the woman looked this good in clothes, he could only imagine what she looked like out of them. Not that he hadn’t imagined that a hundred times by now. Thankfully the jeans and T-shirt were enough to cover up the proof of his growing desire. He forced his eyes to Lindsey, who also looked beautiful and happened to be giving him a laughing smile.

Noah cleared his throat. “Ladies, you look wonderful.”

“Thank you,” they told Noah in echo.

“Okay, picture time!” Sofia said.

Sofia accepted the camera from his hands. Their fingers briefly touched, shooting a bolt of pleasure down to his groin. His eyes shot to hers as she took a deep breath.

Taking a step back, she lifted the camera to her face. Noah watched her relax, all distractions disappearing on the other side of the lens. He’d never seen her work and witnessing it was a gift as she captured Lexi’s special day.
