Victoria is successful in every part of her life… except when it comes to love.
She’s put her blood, sweat, and tears into building her company.
But she’s still unfulfilled.
She’s dated the so-called “cream of the crop” of investment bankers, lawyers, doctors, and even CEOs…
Uninspired, the result always ends up being the same – an empty bottle and an empty bed.
Luke
Ex-military. Single dad. Bear shifter.
Standing in at 6’4, Luke is all brawn.
Big muscles.
Big hands.
Big heart.
But BIG isn’t enough to handle his two children... Let alone the town that relies on him to fill the Sheriff’s shoes.
When fate brings these two opposites together, there is an instant attraction.
However, things are far from perfect as Luke and Victoria are confronted with new challenges that push them over the edge in more ways imaginable.
Luke and Victoria were looking for a good match, maybe even a great match. They needed, wanted, that special someone to fill an empty space in their hearts and lives that work, friends, and family just couldn’t. For Luke, it was someone who could be his life and heart mate, as well as a mom to his children. For Victoria, it was someone she could share a genuine connection, someone who was more than his job and his business connections.
A matchmaker brought them together but it would take more than her to keep them together.
I liked Luke’s kids. They were innocent rugrats wanting a complete family, and the reason why Luke even said yes to a matchmaker. They were the lights in Luke’s life, and they took to Victoria like they knew she was theirs all along. But kids are intuitive like that, often times getting an accurate sense of people before adults do. Of course, them being shifters might’ve also had something to do with it.
And being a shifter almost cost Luke everything.
Despite the instant attraction, the desire and need to have something more between each other, the secrets Victoria and Luke kept almost brought their relationship to a premature end. Well, that and Luke’s speciest family. His mom and sister were just wow! Even if they’d spilled their secrets early on, I wonder if their relationship would’ve survived his family’s unwarranted contempt.
Despite the length of this book, it covers a lot of ground. A. Lot. From first meeting to first date, from first kiss to first night together, from meet the kids to meet the family, from first argument to first I love you. It doesn’t just cover a lot of plot, it covers a lot of emotions too.
This is a good story, a good first story for me by Ms. Alters. I like her voice and her writing style. Luke and Victoria were looking for a connection and they found it in the most unexpected of ways that led to a love that took them by surprise and gave them the life they deserved.
