I was given a complimentary copy by the author for an honest review4 starsArayalia "Ray" Masters, is a single mother juggling her time between her job as a doctor and raising her 3 y/o son Liam.  Ray hasn't been with a man since Liam's dad. She hasn't had time or is she afraid of getting to close to another man again for what had happened.Mace Mason, a hostage negotiator, gets injured in the line of duty. He finds himself going to the hospital and gets introduced to Ray as she is his doctor who takes care of him.  Mace also also puts things first: his job. He doesn't have time or will allow to give his heart to another person, not after what has happened to him in the past. He fears he won't survive it.This is a great story of a woman who puts her son first and foremost. With the help of her family (Nanna & her brothers: Michael, Matthew & Bryan) they help her with Liam.  But Ray forgets that she also needs to be loved. And Mace needing to let got of his guilt about his past to possibly have a future with Ray & Liam.From the beginning , this is a fun story to read on how Ray gets flustered around "the most stunning man she has ever seen."  the hospital seen when Mace comes in, is pretty funny. Mace knows from the start he wants to get to know Ray and he really doesn't know why. Mace also gets flustered around Ray and wants to pursue her. But Ray & Mace have a lot of trauma from their past and are stubborn & afraid to let the other in.  I wanted the scream & throttle both of these characters if I could!  Mace was a brute sometimes nut also a extreme alpha male which I love. Ray was very independent and feisty which I love as well.  This couple had great chemistry and once they got together…..fireworks!Again, I hate to give spoilers, so I'll leave it at this…Go get this book, there is SOOOOOO much more going on and is truly a great story.  Looking forward to more stories from H.S. Strickland!!!!!
