This book wasn't one of my favorites by this author. Too much ex-drama and virtually NO sex. I found myself bored by this couple. Maddie was cute though...

[I received an arc for an honest review]
Drawn into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds is the fourth book in her Fluke My Life series, but can be read as a standalone. It's a wonderful story about family and love.
Courtney and Lucas have both been let down by the person in their lives that they thought would make all their dreams come true. All they want is a family, love and the feelings of home. Courtney's ex-husband cheated on her and started that with someone else. Lucas' ex-wife gave him his daughter but not a mother or a wife. Lucas feels an instant connection to beautiful and caring Courtney. She feels it also but is afraid that it's all too good to be true and is hesitant to trust after what her husband did. It isn't long before she falls in love with his little girl, Lucas himself, and the life they could have together. Both Courtney and Lucas have some heavy baggage and encounter a few bumps on the road to their happy.

" Everything becomes glaringly clear. I want her, and there is something between us— something huge. I haven’t felt this kind of attraction to a woman ever."
Courtney is the sweetest and I admired her immediately. She is caring, kind and stands her ground when it comes to her ex-husband. Down to earth and with real insecurities, she made a perfect heroine. Lucas is everything I expected from Aurora Rose Reynolds, he's caring, sexy and an alpha. Once he decides to pursue Courtney he is ALL in and considers her part of his family. The sexual chemistry between them is off the charts and make you blush 💕 The third star of the book is Lucas' daughter Maddi, she is absolutely adorable and adds extra love and joy to the story line.
"I miss you. Even here, with you in my arms, I miss you because I know I have to go and I can’t take you with me.”
Drawn into love was everything I love about Aurora Rose Reynolds' writing and I can't wait to read what she dreams of next.
"Exquisite is the word that comes to mind as I take in Mr. Lucas Fremont."
“I want my mouth on you, Courtney. For the next few days, you’ll be my breakfast and my dessert.”

Really good story.
Insta attraction.
Both divorced, he's a single dad.
Ex drama on both sides.
No cheating.
No intimate scenes with anyone other than the Hero and heroine. Not even flirting with anyone else.
Dual POV.
HEA.
Epilogue.

This is the feel good romance I’ve been looking for. Little angst but even when it did happen the couple stuck together. Beautiful story with an equally beautiful epilogue!

I really, really, reaaaaaally like this one. It’s so sweet, so beautiful and adorable. I love Lucas, Courtney and Madeline and all the Fremont clans and their significant others. The drama with the exes is soooo satisfying to read, but I wish Eva has gotten more karma.
Also, that epilogue with Lorie’s pov…. Did she mean “my beautiful girl” as in Courtney is the daughter she left at the hospital, or Courtney the family she found after becoming her son’s wife? Because if it’s the former….. that’s fucked up, man.

DRAWN INTO LOVE is book 4 in the Fluke My Life series and though it follows a family with four brothers, it can stand alone.
Courtney Williams is starting her life over after a bitter divorce. New job, new house, new city. She finds herself immediately attracted to the interior architect that she hires to fix up her new house. Lucas Fremont is also divorced but he's a single dad to the adorable Maddi. He wasn't looking for a new mother for his daughter but meeting Courtney is a twist of fate that he readily accepts.
I'll start by saying that this one is a bit predictable. The exes for both Courtney and Lucas make a general nuisance of themselves but they're able to power through and continue to build a new life despite the exes butting in! (Can that be considered a spoiler? Sorry if it was!) Anyway, having said that, I was still enamored by these two characters, three if you count little Madeline. Besides the ex interference, there's some drama between Lucas and Courtney but I don't feel like it was overwhelming or over the top, really just two people trying to mesh their lives together. Lucas wasn't expecting Courtney but he definitely embraced a relationship with her. I just adore the single dad trope, there's something so sexy about a man who seizes fatherhood! And Lucas WAS sexy and determined to keep Courtney. He was alpha in a subtle way. Courtney was understandably afraid to take the leap but I think she pulled it together in the end and I was delighted with the way this one wrapped up.
Told from dual POVs with a happy ever after. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.

I loved everything about this book. It was sweet inst-love with a hot alpha single dad, a sweet adorable little girl, and a beautiful woman overcoming a huge obstacle in her life. I loved Luke and Courtney’s story, it was sweet and swoon worthy throughout.

For the love of all that is adorable! Single dad hotness! I loved Lucas when we first heard about his crappy marriage on Running into Love. I was so excited that he was going to get him a good woman. I was in love from the beginning. These 2 had so much heat from their first interaction that I had to fan myself! And of coarse Maddie is just as cute as can be. I have a soft spot for single dad romances. Absolutely worth all 5 stars

Drawn into Love starts out a little bit sad, but then it gets really interesting really quickly! I enjoyed the hero and heroine are awesome together. And I loved Maddie as well! They were all so cute.
The story was short, easy and enjoyable. I thought it was great!

Second Chance and perfect endings
Der letzte Band der „Fluke my Life“-Reihe macht diese Reihe perfekt mit einem Happy End für Lucas und Courtney. Lucas lernt man in Band 1 der Reihe als Levis Bruder kennen. Dort schon hatte ich gehofft, dass er sein eigenes Buch bekommt, da mir der junge Familienvater wirklich leid getan hat. Seine Frau - jetzt Ex-Frau - ist einfach nur widerlich. Wie er da teilweise die Courage behält ist mir schleierhaft, aber ich bewundere ihn dafür. Courtney hat auch gerade eine schrecklich Ehe hinter sich und wagt in New York einen Neuanfang.
Die beiden fühlen sich sofort zueinander hingezogen und ich habe es geliebt, dass man sowohl mitbekommt, wie die Beziehung der beiden sich langsam aufbaut, also auch dass sie bereit sind, gemeinsam die vielen Hindernisse zu überwinden. Lucas muss auch immer an seine Tochter Maddi denken und Courtney hat ihre eigenen Dämonen zu bekämpfen.
Mit Courtney konnte ich mich sofort identifizieren. Ihr Ex-Mann ist wirklich unglaublich (nicht positiv gemeint) und was er ihr angetan hat wirklich nicht schön. Das er da erwartet, dass sie ihn nach all dem noch zurücknimmt ist beinahe lächerlich, aber toll erklärt. Sie ist einfach eine unglaublich liebe, rücksichtsvolle, herzliche Frau, die genau wie Lucas alles dafür geben will Maddi zu beschützen.
Lucas ist genauso bodenständig und toll. Beinahe der perfekte Mann. Die beiden wachsen zusammen in einem tollen Tempo und man hat einfach das Gefühl, dass es sich hier um eine realistische, tiefgründige Geschichte handelt, die genauso passiert ist. Es macht unglaublich viel Spaß und ich mochte es wirklich sehr wie Maddi einbezogen wurde. Auch die einigen Schockmomente mit Lucas Ex-Frau oder Courtneys Ex-Mann haben die Geschichte toll ergänzt und ihr viel Raum gegeben.
Ich würde sagen es ist eine Slow burn Second Chance Geschichte, die einfach nur wunderschön und realistisch ist. Man fühlt mit den Charakteren mit und besonders die Chemie zwischen ihnen ist unglaublich gut dargestellt.
Wieder konnte mich auch der Schreibstil der Autorin für sich einnehmen und es macht wirklich viel Spaß!
Fazit: Eine wunderschöne Geschichte mit starken Charakteren, tollen Nebencharakteren und natürlich auch einem Wiedersehen mit allen vorherigen Protagonisten. Ein wirklich würdiger, toller Abschluss der Reihe.
