When Corrie Windsor's roommate dies in a car
accident, she leaves behind her four-year-old daughter, Ella. Corrie
loves the little girl and hopes to adopt her, but instead, she’ll have
to stand by while Ella’s uncle steps in to take custody. If things
aren’t awkward enough, there’s a chemistry between them that neither
wants to acknowledge.
Preston Ford can’t imagine instant
parenthood, especially considering he just chickened out of proposing to
his girlfriend. However, once he meets Ella, there’s no other choice.
The time he spends with her and Corrie solidifies an alliance between
the three of them, a plan to give Ella the stability she needs. But
reality can sometimes turn the best of plans upside down.
With
more than one heart hanging in the balance, how long can their platonic
teamwork really last? Romance has never been this complicated.
(This book is also titled An Unlikely Alliance) I've read quite a few romances over the last few months and this one is probably my favorite of them all. I loved the characters Corrie, Preston, and Ella. I loved the way Corrie was willing to uproot her life in order to put the child, Ella's needs first. I loved their relationship. I loved that Preston also put Ella's needs first. It was nice that they didn't make it about themselves the way lots of people would. I loved the progression of the relationship between Corrie and Preston and how it played out. Mostly. The drama with the girlfriend/fiance Nicole was frustrating at times, as well as
the conclusions Preston jumped to about needing to get married to her, even
though he wasn't really that into the idea. Overall, though, this was a heartwarmingly sweet romance, and I definitely want to read more of this series.
