Series: Pine Harbour #7

Author: Zoe York

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

 

 

Matt Foster has never met a woman he couldn’t seduce into his bed. But when he meets Natasha Kingsley, there’s just one little problem—she’s not alone. Her three-year-old daughter wants a pony ride, an ice cream cone, and help to reach the highest rungs of the climbers at the park. Before he knows it, he’s spent all day with the Kingsley girls, and for the first time in forever, finds himself wanting more. 
Tasha doesn’t realize who Matt is related to until he gives her his number at the end of a perfect day. Turning down his request for a second date—with both her and her daughter—is the hardest thing she’s ever done. But her history with his brother, and her firm commitment to living a drama-free life for her daughter, means she can’t flirt with, sleep with, or dream about Jake Foster’s younger brother. 
Not even if he makes her daughter laugh. 
Not even if he seeks her out again and shows her just how interested he is in every part of her life. Because there’s no such thing as a truly secret affair—and Tasha’s done with being anyone’s guilty pleasure.

5 ‘Lost Dreams come true’ Stars

Swoon! One HUGE swoon all throughout this book! Slow burn Romance that fit Tasha and Matt to PERFECTION! A new Pine Harbour FAV!

So realistic, so emotional and heart touching, and SURPRISING! I never excepted Matt and Natasha (and Emily) to became my PH fav, but Zoe York managed to once again create a true small town romance perfection.

Emily Kinglsey, three years old, and her love of all things pink. That’s what had gotten under his skin. Natasha Kingsley and her bright, fierce gaze. That, too. There was something sweet about the two of them, something he’d never taken the time to see or value before. 
Something he wanted, suddenly, with a clarity that kind of scared him.

About the warmth in his chest, a new and interesting feeling that made the generalized worry that plagued him seem less scary.

Matt and Natasha meet by chance, and they are both instantly drawn to one another, specially Matt, that is absolutely captivated by the single mom and her adorable and irresistible three year old little girl, Emily. What they had no idea at the time was that Tasha’s hurtful past was in part crossed with Matt’s family, one of his brothers, Jake. But even though they knew how complicated that situation, that had left Tasha even more jaded than she was towards men, was, plus Matt very own issue’s that had made him do a one eighty on his player lifestyle six months prior, they still couldn’t resist their pull, it was just to strong to deny.

“There’s something here.” He quietly tapped his chest, then reached for her, his fingertips grazing her shirt above her breasts. “Between us. I didn’t see it coming, but now that I’ve found you, I don’t want to shy away from whatever this is.”

He kissed her hard enough to push away the remaining weirdness about her history, his track record, and any problems that might stand in their way. 
Right now, there was only this. Two bodies and zero space in between.

How could they really? The chemistry was palpable, and the way Matt just full blown gave himself to the feelings, and his love and dedication to these two girls, just BLEW ME AWAY! Perfect Romance Hero right here!!! Swoon….

It was line after line, after line of pure swoon-worthy, sigh-inducing material! Who knew the ex ‘easy-going, bon vivant’ of the Foster brothers could reach this level of ALL TIME BEST BOOK BOYFRIEND?! He was just perfect!!!

She had dreams with a capital D. 
Dreams. 
What did Matt have? Fear. Regret. Anxiety.

He wanted to get her anything and everything she needed to make her dreams come true.

Natasha was just as incredible. Yes, she had made errors on the past, but she owned them and pulled through proving to everyone, and herself, just how bravely strong and independent she was. Emily was her whole world, and she was the best mommy possible, but when Matt come to their life, she slowly, and with a lot of support and helpful tips from her awesome sister – whom I adored, btw! – realized that it’s ok to allow herself to dream again, and specially to allow Matt to come though her walls! He was the best kind of bet! Her sister had the best way to put it!

“It’s complicated.” 
Meredith gasped. “He doesn’t look complicated. He looks like a really good idea.”

That’ll make for awkward family dinners, but I’m thinking he’s worth it.” 
Tasha did not like how her sister said that. It was indecent. “Based on what, exactly?” 
“Six-foot-three-inches of hold-you-against-the-wall sex.”

And she sure was right, this man, and what he could become to them, was worth ALL the risk! Matt really come through to her in every way, and even in the darkest of times, he proved how perfectly imperfect he was. He managed to fight his own demon and still be there for his girls every step of the way! In the most delicious of forms and ways too! The man was scorching HOT!!! He was a Foster, after all! 😉

Even perfect had an upgrade option with Matt.

Someone-is-going-to-orgasm-and-its-going-to-be-Tasha kind of foreplay.

The sexy times really showed us just how SCORCHING these two were together, their relationship, and love story, may have been slow burn, but there wasn’t anything tame when it came to these two when it came to the bedroom – or the couch, or against the door, lol – and that was just another of the points that demonstrated Ms. York’s talent in giving us a realistic love story, the built up and slow paced development just made their intimate moments that much richer. I couldn’t get enough of their couple times, as well as family ones.

Speaking of family, it was fantastic to see all the other Foster siblings – as well as Tom, who I’m dying to read about after that little  and bombshell teaser on the Epilogue, btw – with their own HEA, giving us even more beautiful family moments that are an important core element to these small town romances, and specially here, with the Foster and Minelli, that know first handle just how precious and cherished family should be. Family and Love truly are the essence of Pine Harbour series, and Matt and Natasha’s love story, are the perfect reflection of that. Love and family are everything, and once you have to, you never let go!

“I want to be everything you need.” 

“That’s not realistic. I need to be what I need. You can be what I want.”

“That was my big realization this week. That I don’t need you in my life to be happy, but I want you anyway. I want you, Matt. Hear me say that, and hear how good that is. I. Want. You. Just the way you are, right now, damaged and imperfect.”

“I want you.” His voice was hoarse. “Every way. Any way I can get you.” 
“You’ve got me,”

The growth, honesty and deep friendship and LOVE that Tasha and Matt shared, along with their slowly blossoming relationship should be in everyone’s life/couple goals. Love on the Outskirts of Town was an inspiring, thoughtful, sexy and Romantic story that will surely warm everyone’s hearts! A true MUST READ! All the STARS, all the FEELS! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I want to be everything you need. I want to be a part of this. Share this burden. I want to be your best friend. I want to be your lover. I want to be your husband, some day, when you’re ready.”

“I love you. I’m terrified, but I love you with my whole heart.”

“I want to build this for you so you see it every day and know that no matter how bruised and jaded and broken you might feel, because life is rough, that I want to build castles in the sky for you. That I see how hard you work, and I appreciate you, and I want to honour you.”
