As We Are by Claudia Burgoa, Claudia Burgoa
5.0
As We Are is the fifth book in The Baker’s Creek Billionaire Brothers series. It was the first book I have read in the series, and it was acceptable as a stand-alone. Although I wish I had started reading them all from the beginning because I really enjoyed meeting the Aldridge family and would love to know all their stories. The book was fast-paced and once I started reading, I did not want to put it down. Having six brothers and their family living together created fun of all sorts! I loved the witty banter between them and seeing their relationship grow as they worked together to fulfill their father’s conditions in his will. This book was Mills’ story, the single dad of the adorable Arden.
Mills Aldridge’s hockey career is on a hiatus while he is recovering from a knee injury. In order to meet their father’s conditions, the brothers must live in Baker’s Creek and cannot hire staff for the house. The entire house is in an uproar since the newest Aldridge has arrived and two more are expected anytime. The family agrees they need to have a nanny to help with the children, but they cannot hire and pay anyone. After meeting Hadley Heywood and realizing she needs help, Mills comes up with a way for Hadley to get help for her family while she helps with the Aldridge children.
Hadley reluctantly returns to Baker’s Creek after discovering her ex-boyfriend cheating on her. She has no job or money, and her parents are in a bad situation themselves. She wants to help her parents and the offer from the Aldridge’s is too good for her to turn down. Hadley is trying to recover from her previous disastrous relationship but maintaining a professional relationship with Mills is difficult when the attraction between the two is so strong.
This was a wonderful story and I like how the author added intrigue by having the siblings work on figuring out their father’s secrets. It kept the storyline interesting and added depth to the series. I really want to know what they discover and look forward to reading the other books in the series.
