Review
**4.5 stars**
Book four of this series was the perfect way to end it. Each
of here books can be read as a standalone, but you will want to read book 1
beforehand in my opinion to get the back the full story for the history on
Julian and Kendall's story.
Kendall and Julian's story was one I was hoping we would get
after reading their side story in book 1. There was definite chemistry between
them, so getting to see them together in this story was perfect for them. They
both have broken pasts and they were broken together, seeing their second
chance romance was sweet. I loved seeing Julian admit his faults in the past,
but what I loved even more was how Julian accepted Kendall. Julian knew he had
hurt her, but he also knew he loved her. Watching them grow together as a
couple was one of my favorite aspects of their story.
I loved this story from start to finish. Carly Phillips is
one of my favorite romance authors and I seriously one click every one of her
stories. There is always something about her books that make me feel and love
all the words that she gives to me as a reader. I can't wait what else she
brings to us in the future.
Excerpt
New leash and collar in hand, Julian walked into For Paws to
pick up his new dog. He was excited to have a pet, happy to know he’d have
company, and dammit, looking forward to seeing Kendall again.
When he arrived, she was nowhere to be found. Josie, the
other woman he’d met, walked him through the signing of the paperwork,
reiterated his responsibilities, and congratulated him on his new family member.
“Are you ready to go get him?” she asked, oblivious to
Julian’s disappointment in missing out on his chance to see Kendall again.
“Sure thing. Let’s go get Steve.” He followed her through
the back door and into the area where the dogs were kept.
He glanced down the row to Steve’s pen, where to his
surprise, Kendall sat with his dog on her lap, petting his head and talking to
him in a soft voice.
Julian let out a breath he hadn’t been aware of holding,
relief and pleasure suffusing him in equal measure. He wouldn’t have to leave
without talking to Kendall.
“You’re going to a good home,” Kendall said softly, unaware
they were behind her. “You’ll be well fed and loved. And even if I won’t see
you anymore, I’ll always remember you.”
“It’s hard for us not to get attached,” Josie explained
quietly. “Kendall has a soft spot for Steve because he’s been here for such a
long time.” Josie treated him to a warm smile. “I’ll leave you now. Kendall can
get you settled from here.”
Josie stepped away, heading back to the front office. Julian
stood in silence, watching Kendall. Her head was bent low, her long ponytail
falling over one shoulder, her neck exposed. The desire to glide his lips over
the exposed skin was strong. The urge to mark her there, even stronger.
Something about Kendall affected him deeply.
As he walked quietly closer to the
pen, once again he was struck by the quiet strength in her now, the even keel
to her mood compared to before. He’d known she was smart, but this woman
clearly had depths he hadn’t seen or plummed. And he realized how much he
wanted to know her again. To learn who she was now and to introduce her to the
man he’d become. The one he wanted to be, in part, for her.
At the realization, he blew out a
sharp breath.
As if sensing him, she looked up. She stood, the gray dog
still in her arms.
He smiled. “Mind if I ask you something?”
“Go on,” she said warily.
He took in the protective way she cuddled Steve against her
chest. Steve wasn’t tiny, and it couldn’t have been easy to hold him for long.
“Why didn’t you take him? You’re obviously bonded,” he said,
as the dog licked her neck. The lucky bastard.
She sighed. “My building has a one dog only rule. And you’ve
met Waffles. Besides, we can’t save them all ourselves, as Josie likes to
remind me.”
He inclined his head. “Then your loss is my gain.”
She shifted the dog and held him out for Julian. He accepted
his new pet, juggling him with the leash, and held him up, meeting his gaze.
“Looks like it’s you and me, Bud. You ready for your new life?”
