Synopsis:
She's sworn to never fall for another rich man.
He's determined to change her mind.
Charlotte Mabry moves to a small town in Alabama, full of plans for a better life, especially for her son Taylor. Cash is short, but at least she's free from the crushing heartbreak of being married to a man who only cared about money. So even though Nate Haverton sends her pulses racing from the moment they meet, she refuses to let her heart lead her back into misery. Because he might be her son's t-ball coach, but he's also a billionaire.
Nate's drive and genius for solving problems have made him insanely wealthy, but not happy. With no time for a committed relationship, he tries to fill the emptiness inside by giving back to his home town. But then Charlotte moves in, and he knows that all this time he's been waiting for someone like her. She's beautiful, sweet, and strong...but adamant about keeping him at arms length.
When his good intentions go wrong and rumors fly in their small southern town, this may be one problem he can't solve—even though it's the one that matters most.
My Review: 4 Stars
After inheriting her grandmother's house, Charlotte Mabry and her son, Taylor, move to a small town in Alabama for a fresh start. Ever since her ex-husband learned of their move, he has stopped paying child support. Money will definitely be tight until she can get her salon up and running. But she wants to give Taylor the best life she can without spoiling him and making him think that money is the most important thing in life. She wants him to live life, be happy and be proud of what hard work can accomplish.
Nate Haverton doesn't come from money. He has put a lot of hard work, blood, sweat and tears to get him to where he is in the business world. Now he uses his money for good... to help others around him who are less fortunate. He knows what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck and if he can alleviate pressure for the people in his home town, he's more than willing to do it. He may go about it the wrong way at times but his heart really is in the right place.
To say Charlotte and Nate got off on the wrong foot would be an understatement. Neither one knew where the other was coming from that day in the sporting goods store. And neither of them can deny the spark between them from that first meeting. But she's sworn off rich men and he's too busy for a relationship.
Never underestimate the power of fate. What's meant to be, will be no matter how much someone fights against it. When Nate's good intentions go awry, he'll have to do everything in his power to fix the mess he's created. He's waited his whole life for someone like Charlotte and he's not about to lose her over his money. Will Nate be able to help her see that everything he has done has been out of love? Will Charlotte be able to let go of her prejudices in order to get the HEA they all deserve?
So... after reading the third book in this series and seeing Charlotte, Nate and Taylor in it, I thought I would go back and read their story. I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed seeing Charlotte and Nate's relationship develop. I also enjoyed Nate develop a relationship with Taylor. He definitely needed someone like Nate in his life since his father was pretty much a jerk. I didn't care for him at all.
I'm finding that I love the small town settings. There's just something about the friendships, the protectiveness, and just the feel of it all. I can picture the diners and other shops and it makes me want to go visit. Of course in a perfect world all the evil people wouldn't be there. But I guess there's no escaping them. Haha.
I'm definitely adding more books by Ms. Pennington to my TBR list. I've really enjoyed all of them I have read so far. :)
And of course we can't forget my casting. I'm really liking these two. What do you think?
