When ER nurse Nora Sellers is hurt in a hospital scuffle, firefighter Zach Walker blames himself. Blaming himself is nothing new. He’s been blaming himself for years for the trauma his baby sister endured as a teenager. Though with his happy–go–lucky attitude no one would know it. He’s good at his job, he’s a good brother, and a good friend, but Zach decided long ago he wasn’t husband and father material.
Even so, when Zach learns Nora is a single mother with a house that needs his help, he can’t walk away. After a few days with Nora and her ten month old son, he knows he doesn’t want to.
But Nora’s wary. She learned at a young age that the only person she can count on is herself. Now with a baby, a job, and a fixer–upper house, the last thing Nora wants is a sexy firefighter, making her heart flutter. But Zach is more than what he seems, and the more she gets to know him the harder he is to resist.
She’s been brave all her life. Can she be brave one more time and take a chance of a lifetime with her heart?
4.5 ‘Living More Than The Moment’ Stars
Awww…. Nobody does ‘single mom/broken hero’ quite like Claudia Connor… No one! Waiting For You proves just that, and is right up there with my all time single mom book, Worth The Fall. Heart pulling emotional, incredibly sweet and sexy and oh so realistic in ALL THE FEELS of its characters, that it transports us right to their world. And what a world it is with the likes of these Walker/McKinney men!!!
Zack, Nora and little Will completely and utterly stole my heart, both of them thought themselves broken – and maybe they were indeed – but that just made them the perfect match in every way. The three of them couldn’t have been more PERFECT together. A true family.
Who doesn’t love to see the big strong man, that thinks himself broken beyond repair, and with no hope for a future, fall for not only the single mom, but the little one just as much?! Ms. Connor gives us just that in the best of ways, she indeed writes this trope in the most perfect and naturally seeming manner, – case in point, the first of The McKinney Brothers series , Worth the Fall. Matt… Swoon….. – leaving us feeling every single of these characters emotions, hopes and desires. Truly a gift! And getting to see my fav Matt McKinney, and the rest of the Walker/McKinney gang as cameo, it just made it even better! I can’t wait to see the rest of the Walker, specially Luke, fall!! Counting down the days now… 😉 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
“I’ve wanted you since the first day I saw you. Every day since.”
I love you so much there’s no room for fear.
