KU. DNF. I finished book 1 and rounded up to 3 stars. I DNFd book 2, but was intrigued by these characters from their appearance in “Surface” (and I like May/December books) so I skipped right to this.
DNF again. For such a short book it’s really repetitive. She’s too young. She’s was my daughter’s best friend. She’s troubled. Rinse. Rewrite. Repeat. Invert for her thoughts on him. 30% in and we’re still in the first 48 hours of their “relationship” but nothing of substance has happened.
Also, he knows this girl has been repeatedly abused, spent her life in foster homes, and he believes that she views him as a father figure. So he threatens to spank her? Ew. On so many levels.

So great! Noble and Brinley's story was SO sweet (but also super hot, don't worry). Noble has a LOT of baggage he's not done coming to terms with in a healthy way after the death of his wife and child. Suddenly Brinley comes along, 8 years later his deceased daughter's best friend has changed a lot and in need of help Noble's friends take her in before anyone even knows of the connection between Brinley and Noble. Then of course Noble's sense of honor and moral code prevents him from acting on his feelings, but when they finally do, fire works! So happy with this ending, I've loved Noble from the start and he deserved a way to let the past go and start fresh. Great story!

Before you pick up the book, know that there is a considerable age gap between the hero and the heroine (daughter’s best friend).
But.
Know that the romance is handled tastefully and smoothly - combined with the trauma, both the protagonists have faced in their life - it is far more about their ability to be able to have faith for a better and happier future than their age difference.
