Series:
Bravo Family Ties: The Next Generation (Book 3)
Could one night with the rancher
Lead to a lifetime of love?
Piper Wallace's unexpected one-night fling with the sexy,
much-younger rancher Jason Bravo is unforgettable -- and not just because of
their mind-blowing chemistry! The widowed librarian is now pregnant with his
child. Jason agrees to keep the relationship between himself and the woman he's
secretly loved for years as strictly a co-parenting one. Still, when Piper
locates her biological father through an online DNA site and plans a road trip
to meet him, Jason insists on tagging along. Their connection burns hotter than
ever. But can he convince Piper that unlike the unreliable men in her past,
he's playing for keeps?
This was a terrific addition to the stories of the next
generation of Bravos. After a rough day at the library, Piper looks forward to relaxing
with some friends at the local bar. But when none of them are available, she
takes the unusual step of going alone. She's a little uncomfortable in that situation
and is ready to leave when she encounters Jason. She remembers him from when he
came to the library in middle school and realizes he has grown into a handsome
and sexy young man (emphasis on the young). I loved this scene. Piper feels
slightly sorry for herself, and Jason's attention perks her right up. She's
surprised at how easy it is to talk to him and shocked when she realizes he's
flirting with her. She's even more stunned when she recognizes the sparks that
are shooting between them. This leads them to a one-night fling that neither
can forget.
Initially, these two seemed like such an unlikely couple,
and not just because of the age difference. Jason wants a relationship like his
parents and thinks he can have it with Piper. To him, age is just a number. On
the other hand, Piper has no interest in a relationship with anyone. After two
bad relationships, she is convinced she's happier on her own. Jason doesn't
intend to give up on his mission to convince her otherwise.
The stakes go up when Piper discovers she's pregnant. She's
not fazed by the prospect of being a single mother and is surprised by Jason's
insistence on being involved. While Jason lobbies for a closer relationship,
Piper works hard to shore up the walls around her heart. However, an unexpected road trip allows them to get to know each other better and Piper realizes they have something special. There are some sweet scenes as Jason's love and support begin to cause cracks in Piper's walls. However, Piper still has
fears to overcome and panics as she realizes the depth of her feelings for
Jason. I was glued to the pages as I stayed up far too late, waiting for Piper
to let go of those fears. The ending was sweet and emotional; I hope to see
more of them in future books.
