James and Megan soon discover that being honest with themselves is just as important as being honest with each other. Only then will their relationship fire on all cylinders.
My Review
Rating: ★★★★★
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of the book provided by Tasty Book Tours and the author.
There's something about the McKenna's that always drove me to stay up past 2 am. I had that with Ewan, then Sean, and now even sweet Megan decided to join operation ruin-Natasha's-beauty-sleep.
But I wouldn't trade my beauty sleep for anything else!
Megan McKenna has always been successful, she kept up her perfect grades, never rebelled during her teenage years and married her college boyfriend. Life seemed normal, perfect and right on track -until it wasn't. Divorced, broke and left with a beat up Honda Accord, the least she could do is to fix her car, and that was when she met single dad, James Foley, a mechanic with a past. Thrown into the heat of passion, will they learn to ever trust again? Or will a single omission of the truth threaten to destroy the foundation they built?
I love Megan, she's the perfect epitome of sweet, kind and caring that you can't ever bring yourself to hate. It was heartbreaking to see how her marriage ended and how her self-confidence was taken away by her deserves-more-than-a-punch-to-the-face ex-husband, but it was also heartwarming to see how she blossomed into an independent woman who is brave enough to finally fight for what she wants. (I swear the things Niall said made my blood boil). I completely adore her!
James. I can't begin to describe how I fell in love with his character. He's far from the Stepford version of a perfect dad. He is always covered in grease and oil, overworking himself in his shop, may bribe his kid once in a while for good behavior and does not do commitment, but somehow he has rooted himself deeply in my heart. Despite his tough exterior, I'm in love with his vulnerability that made him appear to be even more manly! I loved that he is so dedicated to his work and how he always put his kid's feelings above his. If that isn't perfect, I don't know what is.
I cried happy tears while reading the epilogue, I couldn't think of a happier way to wrap up the McKenna saga, especially with the return of Ewan, Quinn, Sean and Darcy whom I loved from the previous books! Oh Sean and Darcy, their bickering never gets old!
I'll definitely re-read the series again. Although it was a bittersweet goodbye, I am so glad to be a part of the McKenna family for the past whole year! They taught me that love is nothing but beautiful - and there is exactly where I wanted to be.
P.S. Jamie, will there be a Torrid series? :p
