Coke Solomon has lived a full life.

He’s a retired army drill sergeant, so he is more than used to getting his way.

And if he can’t have it his way? Well, let’s just say that’s never happened before…

At least not until Cora Maldonado walks into his life, demanding he fall in line, or she’ll find a way to make his life hell.

He finds out fast that Cora marches to the beat of her own drum, and a lot of times that drum takes her farther away rather than closer to where he feels she needs to be.

He can’t stand it.

He wants her, and he has to have her.

It doesn’t matter that she’s twenty years younger than him, and has a father that would rather see him dead than have his baby girl anywhere near him. Nor does it matter that his ex-wife is highly offended that she’s been replaced with a much younger woman.

Despite the odds stacking against them, he’ll fight for what he wants.

His ex-wife, her father, and their age difference be damned.

4 1/2 out of 5 stars

I really enjoy the books in this series. The author does a great job of crafting a story that the reader falls into...and seeing old friends is always a good addition to any story!

Coke and Cora are worlds apart in life - he’s already raised a daughter, retired from the military and settled in his life. She just bought her first house and started her first real job. She’s also a virgin with little “real-life” experience.

I enjoyed this story more than some of the others in the series because I thought the drama played out better and felt better incorporated into the story. There were definitely tense pages. There were pages where I laughed. I just feel like this book is some of this author’s best work yet.

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
