Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
Oh boy!! Did I want to give a few slaps and shakes to Sean, our ‘hero’ in this book. He lived next door to Lana for years as they were growing up and she had a crush on him. They have a ‘moment’ in a hot tub after his disastrous prom night but he tells her to keep it a secret and tell no one. So she does. She’s really hurt by his behaviour and he ignores her for the next few weeks before he goes off to college. Move forward six years and they have both altered. She’s now refines, polished and a confident, feisty young woman with a six year old son called Peter [no dad in the picture – hint hint!] She’s a web designer and she has an app for Parents that she wants to fully create and launch so she goes to a very successful company, Burbank Marketing, which is owned and run by Sean [but she doesn’t know that till she attends an interview with him]. Both plead later that they recognised each other but pretend they don’t. Sean is the first hero of Weston Parker’s that I don’t like. He’s a really arrogant so and so [if you know what I mean] and shows no remorse for leaving Lana to be pregnant on her own, give birth and have no support as she brought up his son. She is an absolute star and he was a pathetic jerk too busy being a womanising playboy. I felt that he needed to grovel and beg for hers and Peter’s forgiveness but it never really got to the stage that he and Peter were formally introduced as father and son. I really think it would have been improved if there had been an epilogue a while later showing that Sean had matured, was not an arrogant playboy any more and that he was a loving dad to Peter and a faithful lover to Lana. Having said that, Weston writes beautifully and I will be first in line for his next book as I love his stories. I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here.
DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!!!
