Book Description:
He's kryptonite. And she needs all her strength…
Noah Parks is
the ridiculously gorgeous, motorcycle-riding, cage-match-fighting equivalent of
kryptonite for Lindsay Harper. And she's going to need every last ounce of her
strength now that she's the legal guardian of her brother's five orphaned
children. For the sake of her new family, it's time to give up her carefree
single ways. Stop being the cool aunt and become a parent. And fight this crazy
attraction to Noah. Sure, there's a side of him she can't help falling for…the
one who volunteers as a firefighter and helps at-risk youth. The irresistibly
kind and caring side. But she is a nurse, after all. She can't love an MMA
fighter, a man she regularly has to scan for physical trauma… Can she?
Excerpt:
“I wanted
to ask you something.”
Lindsey waited. He was silent.
“Go ahead,” she prodded.
“I was wondering if you would have dinner with me
tonight.”
Seriously? The guy was wearing a hospital gown and
booties and had half his body inside an MRI
machine, and he was asking her out? Clearly the relaxation meds she’d
given him were working. She hesitated. She wasn’t sure of Noah’s exact age, but
she suspected he was at least four or five years younger than she, and given
his chosen career, he wasn’t even on her radar of potential men to date. A
fighter who put constant stress on his body and mind was not someone she would
consider as a life partner—and at thirty-five, she thought maybe it was time to
start taking relationships seriously.
“I have to work.”

This is the fourth book I've read in this series, and as much as it pains me to say, this wasn't my favorite. It's not a bad story, but rather my personal feelings towards Lindsey. From the beginning of the story that takes place 10 years earlier at her brother's wedding, she came across as spoiled and self-centered; why else act like that on what should be the happiest day for her brother? And regardless of how she felt about Noah's side job, there was no reason to treat him like she did when he wanted nothing but the best for her. Even after the tragedy he tried to be there for her and she still gave him side eye and somewhat bitchy attitude. I really don't know what it is about her that had both Noah and Ben after her. Well, it was easy to see what Ben was really after, but I would have preferred it not play out the way it did, with him taking up residence to help out.
