A Moment of Weakness by Brooklyn Skye
4.0
I received an eARC of the book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Single dads in fiction are my weakness or rather my kryptonite. I love the relationship that these daddy’s have with their kids. It’s not only adorable but is also one of the best relationships out there and it literally makes my uterus squeal to read about this relationship. I know you females know what I am talking about? ;)
Micah Crane is an enforcer for the Mob. He has taken that job because that is the only job that will give his daughter everything she will ever need. So what if the job is on the illegal side? So what if he gets beat up – cracked knuckles and busted eyes are nothing, nothing in front of the smile that graces his daughter’s face when he sees her having the best of everything. But he knows he is in the limbo – he can’t keep leaving his daughter at the back of the bar every time he gets the call for a job. He knows it, but is stubborn and mistrusting of almost every human with his daughter. Lucky for him, his sister does enough to meddle in his life.
Enter Laurel, his sister’s roommate and a destitute teacher in need for a summer job, so when she gets the boot to stay at Micah’s to take care of his daughter, she doesn’t hesitate. Much. She adores his daughter and has a pretty strong attraction to Micah. Which doesn’t fight that much.
Micah and Laurel, while attracted to each other, slowly also slide into relationship, but they only fall for each other, when they see other’s relationship with his daughter and that for me cinched the deal. I loved their interactions, and the way they seamlessly fit together – it was heart-warming, not to mention, adorable to read.
But I did think, that Laurel and Micah’s attraction quite suddenly culminated into a kiss and that made it quite less impactful – I mean to say, that one moment they both were tiptoeing around each other and the next they are kissing, and while this might be okay with other plots, when there is a kid involved I do like my characters to take things slow, but that’s just me. Also, while their chemistry was steamy, it could have been explosive and I think the author sort of missed reaching that potential.
Still I liked this book, mostly cause of Shae and the different plotline, I just wish there could have been more – more steam, more angst, just more!
