From the New York Times bestselling author of Taking Chances, From Ashes, and Stealing Harper, comes the new unforgettable adult romance Molly McAdams’ fans have been waiting for—the sizzling story of a young woman who must place her trust in the one man who can break through her defenses.
A night they will always remember…a connection neither can deny…a secret that could destroy it all…
When Kennedy Ryan moves to California, she never expects to come face-to-face with Liam Taylor—the intriguing man who has haunted her thoughts for a year. A man who led her to breaking every one of her rules for a single night of passion that ended up meaning more than it was ever supposed to. Accustomed to disastrous experiences with men, Kennedy shields herself before he can break down more of the carefully built control she’s clung to for the last four years. But every time she sees Liam, she feels her resolve weakening.
Liam Taylor has been asked to help socialize his boss’s nieces. But what he thinks sounds more like a babysitting job ends up leading him to the only girl who ever slipped away before morning—a girl he thought he’d never find again. And now that she’s within reach, Liam’s determined to never let her go.
But when a secret from her past tests their relationship, will they be able to cling to the trust Liam has worked so hard to build?
Candace’s Thoughts
So for all of those out there that had their hearts stamped on with Taking Chances, I think this book gives us a bit of redemption. This is Liam and Kennedy’s story. Liam is Harper & Brandon’s son, Liam Chase Taylor. Name ring a bell. Our heroine is Kash & Rachel’s daughter Kennedy. I actually love how these two series intertwined in this book. It was fantastic to see all of our old favorites older with kids of their own.
Liam is downright lovable. He really doesn’t do relationships but he is close to his family, successful, a son, brohter and friend. Kennedy is the female version of Kash: tough, independent, sassy and has quite a mouth on her. She doesn’t do relationships either. The absolute best part of this story is that these two met in Vegas, have a steamy night together and then run into each other a year later. Neither know what to do when they see each other again…Liam wants another shot and Kennedy is running for the hills. The plot twist I did not see coming. I am usually good at sniffing these out but Molly McAdams surprised me with this one. Kennedy has been burned in the past but the depth of the betrayal was surprising.
In the end, this book delivered a beautiful love story that also helped heal some of the wounds from Taking Chances. If you haven’t read Taking Chances, I would say read that one first but prepare yourself for heartbreak. Trusting Liam helped heal the crack I had in my heart after Taking Chances. It was nice to visit with all of our favorite characters later in their lives and I loved the way she tied the two series Taking Chances and Forgiving Lies together.
About Molly McAdams
Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband and furry four-legged daughters. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and fried pickles, and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm … or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening.
