Tyler Jones and her daughter Chloe were first introduced to readers in Real Men Don't Break Hearts. Tyler is a single mother to her three- year-old daughter, whose father has never been in the picture. Tyler is a woman who comes off being stronger than what she is. There are times when she needs help but is afraid to ask, thinking that asking will make her less than the mother she thinks she should be. She also has the pressure of her ex's mother constantly trying to take Chloe away from her, and saying that she doesn't deserve to have Chloe.Luke Maguire is a popular and well known author who moves into his agent's house, next to Tyler's, to work on writing his next book. His highly acclaimed book wasn't who he wanted to be as an author and he can't seem to write its anticipated sequel. He's terrified that people will look at him as a fraud. Add to that, the pressure of recently losing his mother. Luke has simply lost his way and doesn't even realize it. Luke doesn't like putting down roots. In fact, he hasn't had a permanent address in four years. All he needs is his car, laptop, and whatever clothes will fit into his suitcase. Luke's life is simple and that's just the way he likes it. Or so he thinks.Tyler and Luke are alike in so many ways. Neither is looking for a permanent lifetime commitment but that's just what they both need. They each have serious family issues that have contributed to them having inner self worth issues. But they manage to be strong enough for each other to push the other into taking leaps of faith and doing what's right no matter how scary or hard it is.I think one thing which makes this book so likeable and enduring is the relationship you see develop between Luke and Chloe. From the very start, Luke is a natural when it comes to taking care of Chloe. There is just something extremely sexy about a guy taking care of a kid.I love the Real Men Series books because of the sweetness of their romances. Real Men Don't Quit is the second book in the series but is completely standalone. It's a great read with characters you're going to immediately fall in love with.Source: AuthorReviewed for Read Your Writes Book Reviews
