Review: Fun Quick Read

This is the second book in the series, which is comprised of interrelated stories that can function as standalones. With that in mind, if you are just considering this series, I would suggest reading this first, and Emma's Home, the first book released, second.  They are both fun, enjoyable reads, but for my mind it works for me to read chronologically, and all the events in this book, save the epilogue, happen before Emma's Home.  But that is completely up to you and it works either way!As for Laurie's Time, this is a really sweet read, with great character development and a strong storyline.  Laurie has had a tough life, with a teen single mother, the death of pretty much everyone but her aunt by the time she is 12, having no idea who her father is.  But she stays strong and optimistic.  This doesn't mean her life hasn't shaped her though- she has her own issues that affect her choices.  Rob is a notorious womanizer and playboy, and he has no problems with that.  But one look at the new girl in town, Laurie, and he is ready and willing to leave all that behind.  Laurie's struggle to trust and Rob's battle in gaining perspective on his life and how that has affected those around him are well matched in this tender love story about self discovery and friendship.  They grow together beautifully through thick and thin, illness and danger, learning when it is right to do what seems wrong in order to help the ones you love.  Recommended for anyone who knows what it means to never give up, even when everything is stacked against you, and the power in trusting someone, protecting them, and loving them.  A great addition to a growing series about life, love, and family, with that alpha possesiveness we just cant seem to get enough of as well!
