Description

A brand new firefighter series from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

No last names. No phone numbers. Never see each other again.

It was supposed to be simple. One night with no strings. I had just gotten the worst news of my life and wanted to forget everything.

A tall, dark and broody firefighter was perfect. Our night together was so hot, I forgot everything but the rules.

I never expected to get pregnant. It was supposed to be impossible. 

All I knew was his first name and the small town where I found him. 

Chase & Hallie’s story is perfect for readers who love small town romance, sassy heroines, surprise/accidental pregnancy, slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, oozing with swoon, and protective heroes who’ll do anything for the woman they love. 

*A full-length, standalone romance.

    Hallie lives in Anchorage and she has just been to the doctor. She has endometriosis so bad she was told it wouldn’t be easy for her to get pregnant. Hallie hasn’t been seeing anyone and she had decided to have a hysterectomy. Her mood is somber so she stops at Wildlands Lodge and Restaurant for the night. She is in the bar having a drink when she meets a handsome man. Chase lives in Willow Brook and after his mother died two years ago his sister Tiffany sent in DNA samples and when they came back Chase found out he had a different biological father. Chase is at Wildlands Lodge and Restaurant and met Hallie. He thought she was beautiful. They spent the night together having protected sex and it was the best sex either had ever had. There was a connection between them but Hallie didn’t want to exchange anything but first names. They both figured they would never see each other again. Three months later and Hallie finds out that she is pregnant. She is shocked as is her doctor. Hallie knows she has to find Chase to let him know. Hallie drives to Willow Brook, she knows he is a firefighter. When Hallie tells Chase that she is pregnant he is shocked but he automatically wants to be there for her. Chase still has issues with what his mother did. He is in the process of meeting his 7 half siblings, so there is a lot going on. Chase has thought of Hallie since she left and he felt like he missed something with her. Hallie thought of Chase a lot before she found out she was pregnant. Will Chase be able to get over his past issues regarding his mother? Will Hallie want to make a relationship work with Chase? Will Hallie move to Willow Brook? Will Chase and Hallie find love and happiness in Willow Brook? I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

    A story with lovable characters and a sweet romance that starts out with a one night stand. The emotional hook was a good one. The story was well written and very fun to read. An enjoyable read.

    Great storyline and characters that will draw you in from the very first page to the very last. I absolutely loved Chase and Hallie together and the way they were with each other was amazing. Chase is a hotshot firefighter who is dealing with finding out things his mother did. He can't confront her because she died a few years ago. Hallie is a freelance photographer who has dealt with endometriosis. She took a drive to forget about the decision she needed to make and ended up in Willow Brook.

    This book was really good. I really enjoyed reading Chase and Hallie's story. These two are so good together and the story starts off with a bang for sure. It pulled me in from beginning to end and really held my attention the whole way through. I thoroughly enjoyed watching these two come together and work things out. They are both really good people and it was awesome finding someone that fit them. I truly enjoyed this one! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

    The first time Chase and Hallie meet they have an instant spark and a rule. One night, no names. Until the next morning and Chase suddenly realizes he wants more. He just had the most incredible night he’s ever had. Hallie is in shock! A baby? That glorious one night stand left her with a miracle baby. Now she just has to find the father and hope he doesn’t totally freak out. Chase is stunned but he’s happier than he’s been in a long time. Hallie is perfect and he’s gonna be a daddy. But will his past ruin his future? I love the sweetness and the beautiful undertones of this story. The teamwork and the fire that ignites every time they are together just makes this story smoking hot! “I voluntarily received this arc book for an honest review”

    This is a fantastic story that centers around Hallie and Chase. They meet at Wildlands Lodge & Restaurant. Hallie received some health news earlier and she’s going to have a one night stand. No last names, one night only. They have a connection, but Chase finds Hallie gone when he wakes up. He wants to find her, but that would be breaking the rules. Imagine his surprise, when Hallie finds him and has some surprising news. No spoilers, so grab your copy and fall in love with these wonderful characters.
