Tropes/content: Small town romance, second chance, marriage of convenience, single dad, billionaire hero, he falls first
Series: Whitlock Family #4

Brynlee Whitlock is at her brother's wedding when Carson Knight, her great love, walks in, taking her by surprise. The last time Brynlee saw Carson was on a Spring Break trip where they spent the week together falling in love  before he disappeared without a trace. Ten years later and Carson is back in her life with billions of dollars, a daughter, and a proposal for Brynlee. Marry him to help him get full custody of his daughter and he'll pay for her father's surgery. Brynlee agrees on the condition that they'll get divorced once he gets custody, but Carson's determined to win back her back.

I was excited for Brynlee to get her happily ending after seeing glimpses of her in her brothers books. I thought her and Carson were sweet together and clearly so in love. I loved the angst when they reconnected. I did melt when he carried her multiple blocks to get help. I know some other reviews didn't love that she stayed celibate and he didn't, but it didn't bother me because I understood he was trying to fit into the life he agreed to. 

I'm hoping Carson's sister and best friend have a story in the spinoff series. It felt like we were getting hints at seeing them in the future. It'll be interesting to see how Carson handles that for multiple reasons (some I can't list because they're spoilers)
