Mercy Alexander doesn’t believe in love, let alone love at first sight.
There’s one sure fire way of steering clear of heartbreak, and that’s not to get your heart involved in the first place. So what is that irritating flutter she feels every time she sees Brooks Hudson, and why is she finding him so hard to ignore?
Brooks Hudson can’t understand where he’s going wrong.
Doting single father to six-year-old Ali, supportive co-parent with his ex, much-loved friend and respected colleague, not to mention he’s smoking hot. So why is he constantly being dumped, told in no uncertain terms he’s ‘too nice’? Since when was being nice a crime?
Mercy is in serious need of someone to restore her faith in men, and Brooks needs a girl he likes to stick around long enough for him to believe in love again. But when Mercy’s past threatens to remind her of everything she’s scared of, will love be enough to save the day?

My Review
Mercy has always been skeptical about love, opting for casual dating instead. Due to a history of abandonment, past traumas, and family complications, she maintains a guarded distance from others. On the other hand, Brooke is a divorced individual with a young daughter. Despite his attempts to date other women after the divorce, he often finds himself on the receiving end of rejection. Unbeknownst to him, he tends to rush relationships, unaware that the other person may not share his speed. Years ago, Mercy and Brooke had a brief fling, and now their paths cross once more at an opportune moment. Their encounters become more frequent, leaving them unable to stop thinking about each other.
This book delves into the realm of second-chance romance and friendship. Both Mercy and Brooke face significant challenges that they must overcome, and as their pasts intertwine with their present circumstances, they find solace in working through them together. The strength of the friendship between Brooke and Mercy is a joy to read about. Overall, it is a heartwarming story that touched my heart.
