***This book was provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.***This was a sexy little novella.To start off with, it was about Marcy falling for her best friend’s older brother, which is one of my favorite all time tropes! I love it when couples have been fighting an attraction to each other for years. It seems to make the sex scenes so damn hot!Marcy and Aaron were both incredibly likable characters. Marcy is a single mother trying to make a good life for her and her daughter, and Aaron is a police officer who is tired of holding back when it comes to his feelings for Marcy.After giving in and sharing a passionate interlude with Aaron, Marcy realizes that he is not about to let her walk away from him. Their story was enjoyable. Marcy’s concerns about introducing a man to her daughter were legitimate and well-written, and I liked the back story of Aaron’s character with his military background and just wanting to be a good guy. He was also possessive as hell once he finally got a hold on Marcy. It was clear he wasn’t going to let her go without a fight.There was some chasing in this one, but it didn’t go on for so long that it got tiring. Also, the small town aspect was a fun addition. Meddling friends and neighbors always spice things up and make for a good read!My only complaint was that the epilogue was just a bit too sweet and perfect for me. Other than that, I really enjoyed this story!If you’re looking for a quick, steamy read with simple characters, this book is exactly what you’re looking for!
