Miles Thatcher and I would not have gotten together if my life had gone according to plan.
Recently single with her whole life up in the air, Emma Abate knows that getting into any kind of relationship, is a bad idea. Especially when the man she finds herself drawn to is Miles Thatcher, a single father, and a man that seems determined to break down every barricade she places between them.
Could this be real?
Miles doesn’t do complicated. But it’s difficult to remember all the reasons why Emma is supposed to be off limits when she begins to fill a void in his and his daughters’ life, a void that he never realized was there, until her.
Before this ends will Miles and Emma realize they have something worth fighting for? Or will his job as a detective, the murder of two young women, and Emma’s past get the best of them before they ever get the chance?
Life is never simple, and neither is love.
MY REVIEW
There’s one thing I can always count on when it comes to Aurora Rose Reynolds and that’s a book that will captivate and slay me at the same time. And Before This Ends does not disappoint!
When we first meet up with Emma, she’s ended a long-time relationship and isn’t sure of the direction she wants her life to take. One thing she’s certain of is that getting involved with someone new spells nothing but trouble. That is until she finds herself drawn to Miles. Miles doesn’t do complicated, but there’s something about Emma that pulls her to him. Before he knows it, he finds himself desperate to break down her walls and break all of his rules…
From the moment I met Emma, I just knew she was going to be a force to be reckoned with. She might be unsure of the direction her life is going in, but she’s the kind of person you can always count on and when she lets someone get close to her, she loves big and loves hard. Miles only has two priorities in life: his job and his little girl. He doesn’t have time for other distractions and doesn’t do relationships. But when he gets to know Emma more, he suddenly feels things he never expected. Before he knows it, he’s ready to take on the world and fight every single one of Emma’s demons.
What I loved about this story was the ease of the relationship between Emma and Miles. Yes, their connection was instant and off the charts. But, I loved seeing them build and work towards a solid foundation, especially when it wasn’t just their hearts at risk. The other thing I really loved was that while there was some drama, it was mostly light and fit with the story. No drama for the sake of drama, just a solid love story between two people that I just couldn’t get enough of.
In the end, Before This Ends was everything I was hoping it would be and it left me with a huge smile on my face. If you’re looking for a sexy, single-parent romance, you won’t want to miss Aurora Rose Reynolds’ latest release, Before This Ends. I hope you’ll fall head over heels for Miles and Emma just as I have.
