With her tattered shoes and bargain-bin clothes, her life has never been full of glamour. So when a rich and charismatic man takes interest, she doesn’t fool herself into thinking their encounter is anything more than a one-night stand. Months later, she’s kicking herself for not getting his phone number. Or his last name. She’s given up hope of seeing him ever again. Until one day, years later, Logan Kendrick waltzes into her life once more and turns everything she’s built upside down. This time around, she won’t make the same mistake. She’s going to fight to keep him in her life—not for herself. But for their daughter

Review:
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
As you can read from the blurb, Thea and Logan had a one-night-stand which resulted in the creation of a child aka Charlie. What I really liked about that is that neither of them blames the other for Logan's absence from Charlie's life. Both of them knew that they couldn't do anything about it and I was happy to see no drama on that part.
Logan is an oblivious man, but he tries for the best. What I mean is that sometimes he doesn't see what is in front of him and believes that things will go his way when the rest of us know that won't happen. Still, he loves his daughter and Thea and he stands up for them which won him a lot of points in my book. His biggest flaw is that he was trying to fit them into his life without considering that he would be uprooting them from the life they had for the past 6 years. And that's not something that I wanted for Thea because during the course of the book we see how much she build her life on her own and that she has planted roots with 2 people she considers family. I liked her more than I liked Logan. Logan is not bad, but Thea makes her flaws more relatable.
The next book in the series will be about Jackson, Thea's "brother" and Willa a woman whom we don't see much in this book, but makes an impression. The preview for their book is good because Jackson messed up and I don't have their book, so I could see how he is going to fix it. I am team Willa before even reading their book. At least I am glad she stood up for herself!
The book was good and I liked the author's writing. I would recommend it.
He stared at me for a long moment. “You’re sure she’s mine?” “She’s yours.” “Then that’s good enough.” “I—really?” I blinked. He didn’t want to verify paternity? He just . . . trusted me? He nodded. “Really.” “I swear, I tried to find you, Logan. On my life, I swear it. But the hotel wouldn’t give me your name no matter how much I begged. And you paid cash for your drinks and never mentioned your last name. I tried, but I just . . . didn’t know where to start.” “It’s not your fault. I believe you.” The sincerity in his voice made my throat burn. Goddamn it. I was going to cry. I’d worked so hard not to cry today. I’d fought to keep my emotions in check and my head from spinning out of control. But this was going to make me break. I wanted so badly for Logan to believe that I hadn’t kept Charlie from him intentionally. The fact that a man like him would trust someone like me without proof meant more than he’d ever know. “Thank you,” I choked out past the lump in my throat. “So, um, is Charlie inside with your husband? Or boyfriend?” The urge to cry disappeared and I barked out a laugh. “Smooth.” He chuckled. “It’s been a long day for me. Give me a break, will you? This morning I was in New York, then I came to Montana for a business meeting and discovered a daughter. I’m off my game.”
