4 Star Review by Heather
This book was really good. The characters are really likable and you can relate to them.
Celeste is a widow with three boys trying to make it on her own. She has the help of her husband’s cousin, Adrian. She has had feelings for him for a while now and tries to hide them because she knows that his family and her family would not approve of them being together. Can she keep her feelings hidden after one night they share a hot kiss? Will she open up to him and say to hell with our families?
Adrian is struggling to be accepted into his family. He doesn't want to be exiled from them like his father, so her tries to do the things they want. Whether it is right or wrong. So he denies his feelings for Celeste and tries to work her out of his system with nameless women. Can he finally see that it is worth losing his family to have her and the boys with him?
This book needed a little something more. I can't say exactly what it needed. I just felt like the other shoe was about to drop and it never did. Overall this book held my attention and left me wanting to know what was going to happen so I do recommend reading it!!
