That One Touch by Carrie Elks - The Heartbreak Brothers (Next Generation Book 2)
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Single dad Presley Hartson dedicates his life to his daughter Delilah. Her wellbeing and happiness are all he cares about so between caring for her and working hard at his construction business, Presley doesn’t the time or inclination for relationships.
After an accident ends Cassie Simons dream career, she moves to Hartson’s Creek hoping for a fresh start. Teaching children to dance wasn’t what she ever thought she’d be doing but she is grateful for the distraction whilst she is deciding what she wants to do for the rest of her life.
The pair clash after Presley is late to pick up his daughter one evening and Cassie calls him out for his tardiness. Despite his initial attraction to Delilah’s teacher, Presley resents any criticism of his parenting skills and makes his displeasure clear.
When Cassie decides to audition for a local band she has no idea that her pupil’s handsome but grumpy father will be there, but as they start rehearsals sparks start to fly and they soon realise they can’t ignore their mutual attraction.
When Cassie is offered the opportunity of a lifetime their lives are turned upside down. Struggling with their personal issues the pair try to find a way forward. Should she grab her chance in the limelight and risk losing Presley and her new life? Can Presley overcome his guilty past and set her free? Nothing is ever easy when love’s on the line…..
This book, THIS BOOK! At this point I have to point out that I have read the original Heartbreak series which do introduce you to some of the characters in this book, however this book can be read as a stand alone. You don’t need to have read any of the other books in the series to thoroughly understand and enjoy this story, but in all honesty I HIGHLY recommend reading them all!
Ms Elks has the ability to write stories that draw you in, making you emotionally invest in her characters and cheer them along. As a single parent myself I felt she really expressed Presleys emotions, concerns and worries very knowledgeably without making him overly sweet. The book had just the right mix of angst, romance, backstory and sexy times. She writes believable scenarios, allowing her characters to tell their stories without bias, letting the reader work through their own feelings. Her characters have flaws, like real life, they’re not perfect.
Reading one of Ms Elks books is akin to wrapping yourself up in a fluffy blanket and snuggling up in front of the fire with a warm mug of hot chocolate. You never want it to end.
I highly recommend this book.
