4.5 Stars!

Lately I have read quite a few books categorized as a single parent romance, and Drawn Into Love by Aurora Ross Reynolds is the best one yet. It is well-written and all the characters have a nice chemistry. This is the fourth book from the author's Fluke My Life series and it can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Paralegal Courtney Williams is recently divorced. While going through treatments for infertility, her ex was cheating on her with his secretary and now they are expecting a baby. Needless to say, Courtney needs to get out of dodge and start anew. Luckily, her very robust divorce settlement enables her to relocate to New York City. Her good friend from her days in foster care is an attorney, and she has offered Courtney a job. The residence Courtney purchases needs a complete redesign, so she hires highly recommended architect Lucas Fremont to do the job. Lucas is a divorced, single dad to an adorable little girl. Courtney and Lucas share an instant spark, and overtime they fall in love and form a family.

Ms. Reynolds has become one of my favorite authors and I always enjoy her effortless writing style. This is a terrific story, and Courtney and Lucas are interesting, complex and genuine. They are a hot and fun couple, both in and out of the bedroom. Lucas's daughter is easy to love and she is a wonderful character. If you enjoy a novel with a lot passion and energy, then pick up a copy of this book.

After reading the first book in this series, you were left yearning for Lucas and little Maddi to get some happiness. They finally get it here with Courtney, who desperately needs some love herself! You don’t need to read the other books in the series to enjoy this one, but if you love it, you’re going to want to, and see how Lucas and Maddi started out

The story was an easy read, with an immediate attraction and happiness on all parties’ parts. The drama is easily supplied by the ex’s in their lives. A little bit of girl time with Abby, Courtney’s bestie, and some Fawn, with a smidge of Levi. In other words, a wonderfully sweet and sexy read, with an awwww epilogue that covers several points of view

Courtney and Lucas have both had bad relationships in the past. They're both leery to trust again but feel the draw to each other. Are they both going to be able get through what their pasts have done to them? Will they be able to let their guards down and let each other in?

Lucas is sweet, a great dad and is an alpha. He knows he wants Courtney in his life but he's got a fight on his hands. Courtney is scared of her feelings for Lucas especially since her ex treated her the way that he did. (I totally wanted junk punch the ex.)

If you're looking for a sweet, hot burn with an alpha then this is a book for you!

MINI SPOILERS BEWARE!!What i love about Aurora Rose Reynolds books are you are guaranteed an alpha male who will light your kindle on fire. This book is no exception the insta-love between the two characters is great and as always romance has the odd bump in the road but it always makes the HEA that much sweeter. An easy but good read over a lazy sunday for me made it a fun book to add to have read.

My favorite so far! I’ve enjoyed all the stories in this series but Drawn Into Love with the single dad and the sweet woman who wins his heart takes the #1 place.

I’ve wanted Lucas, Levi’s brother, to get his own HEA since we met him and his awful wife in the first book. Now divorced and with sole custody of sweet little Maddie, he’s moved to the city and is living across from his brother. Devoted to making up for the lack of a decent mother to his daughter, he’s also a very successful architect.

Courtney hasn’t had the easiest of lives, and the less than stellar end of her marriage has only left her with broken dreams. A fresh start in a new city and a new house is what she needs, and in the first meeting with the architect that will design her new home remodel all is forgotten but the incredible chemistry they seem to have.

I freaking loved this book. Lucas is the stuff dreams are made of, with his hunky bod, bossiness and devotion to being the best daddy to his little girl. The fact that he could dirty talk like a boss did not hurt one bit. The second he meets Courtney and realizes the potential they share he goes all out to win her over.

Courtney had some healing to do, and Lucas and Maddie were just the right people for the job. She was sweet, caring and funny and I completely adored the way she was with little Maddi.

With some mild angst, I felt the whole exes thing could have been milked a bit more and was actually kind of disappointed that when we got more it was barely mentioned at the end of the story. I loved the time we got to hang with some of the other couples and all the puppy love. Sweet, sexy and light, Drawn Into Love was exactly what I expected and I enjoyed it from start to finish.

*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book*

This is the first time in reading this author with one that I could sink into. Courtney and Lucas take you into this one giving you the romance fix you crave. The characters are the winners in this one that are used to draw you in with their lives then twist the faucets on your emotions. But it also has some road blocks that give the bumps that life provides at times that pulls you to the edge waiting to see how it will transpire. Being also a plus was that this one is a different kind of second chance romance.

Drawn Into Love
By: Aurora Rose Reynolds

📚💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕📚

Truest of love stories!!!

Well let me start by saying I am huge fan of this author. She writes with so much intensity and emotion pulled from each book it’s felt page after page. Some are quick witted story lines that are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat. So being able to read this love story didn’t disappoint. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills. Courtney and Lucas are the perfect example of when you open your heart and let people in love finds its way in.


Authors Blurb: Courtney Williams wanted forever. She got six years of empty promises, a divorce, and a well-deserved settlement that’s paid her way to Manhattan. She has a new home under renovation, a new job, and a do-over as a happy “single in the city”—until she meets an architect with designs on more than her beams. He’s also a devoted single dad, a great cook, and has dark lashes to die for. Too good to be true. Now all Courtney can do is whisper, Oh no, not again.
Divorced Lucas Fremont isn’t looking to get swept away. But how can he not with a woman this sweet and sexy? She’s making his broken heart beat fast. His sister-in-law, Fawn, says go for it. But as cautious as Courtney is, Lucas has to do more than that. He has to fight for it. Now all he can do is think, Don’t let this one get away.
But Courtney comes with a secret. And Lucas comes with a bitter ex. If love is to stand a chance, they’re going to have to take a chance.

I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

Drawn Into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds is book 4 in the Fluke My Life Series. This is Courtney Williams and Lucas Fremont's story. We've were introduced to Lucas Freemont and his precious little daughter Madeline in the previous books. At that time he was married to evil witch Eva and now, in book 4 when we get his story, he is
finally free of Eva who is not present in Madeline's life and that's something which is sad to read about in this story. Lucas is a single dad and living in New York. He is this hot architect who meets this beautiful woman named Courtney. She was referred to him because she needed renovations for her new home and Lucas was highly recommend. It's clear that sparks went off during their first meeting and a connection was formed. Courtney is newly divorced in a shocking turn that she didn't see coming. Now she is trying to rebuild her life- will that be with Lucas? There are many things that they consider before diving headfirst into a relationship. There are obstacles, ups and downs. Oh and there is happiness, laughter, and heartbreak, but Lucas's devotion to Courtney never wavered. Ms. Reynolds wrote with pure emotion, love and feels. I started and couldn't stop reading until I was completely finished. This story will enthrall you and entice you with alpha, single dad and sassy, sweet divorcee'. Its another beautiful love story.

Drawn Into Love is such a good, easy fun read. Courtney and Lusas are great characters as well as a fantastic couple. Little Maddie, Lucas' daughter, absolutely stole the entire show for me. He was such an amazing father and the two of them made this book! I love reading funny, easy romance with not too much angst thrown in. This was perfect for me! This book is part of a series but can definitely be read as a standalone. If you are in the mood to fall in love, have fun and be charmed by the most adorable child this is one hundred percent the read for you!

Drawn Into Love is book 4 in the Fluke My Life series. The series is centered mainly on the Reed sisters and Freemont brothers. It can be read as a stand-alone. Aurora Rose Reynolds brings us a sweet and flirty second chance love story. This is Lucas and Courtney’s story. Lucas was introduced in Running Into Love. Lucas is a single dad to Maddi. Living and working in NYC. Lucas wants to focus on his daughter. Courtney has recently relocated to NYC after a disappointing marriage that ended in divorce.

They meet when Courtney hires Lucas, an architect, to redesign the house she bought. Lucas is alpha, hot, kind, caring and a great dad! Courtney is so sweet and genuine. They have both had difficult relationships leaving them hesitant but their connection, their chemistry is too strong to deny.

There is something between us. I feel it whenever I’m near her.

Neither one of them are looking for love but it finds them! I enjoyed reading Lucas and Courtney’s story. The sexy times are H.O.T.! The story flows and the drama is minimal. It made me smile! There are a few cameos but not as many as in previous Fluke My Lifestories.

Drawn Into Love is the conclusion the Fluke My Life series. No one writes hot alpha/strong female/romantic love stories like Aurora Rose Reynolds! Although a bit predictable, I still loved the epilogue (no spoilers)! And there was a little bread crumb left over leaving me to wonder if there will be another book or another series…..

This series has been fast and fun! There isn’t much more to say other than I loved it!

5 Stars!

This is how you end a beautiful series...

Aurora Rose Reynolds is back with the fourth and final book in the Fluke My Life series, delivering the absolute BEST book in the series, warring with my sweet Levi and Fawn for that top spot. But alas this series is back with a final bang and y'all we finally get to see Levi's brother get his much needed and so much deserved happy ending.

She's a new divorcee ready to start the next journey of her life. He's a single dad trying to give the best life to his little girl. And from the moment they meet, nothing will ever be the same.

Drawn into Love was a sexy, sweet, fun, emotional, intense, complicated romance that hooked me before I even got to the first page and not ever coming up for air until I had devoured every single word they had to give. Courtney, Lucas, and Maddi rocked my entire world from the moment their lives intertwined and I was dedicated on finding out how everything would settle out for these three. And I'm pleased to say that Aurora did not disappoint (not that she ever could!), at all in this book, not for one single moment and created an unforgettable couple that stole my heart and told a beautiful journey that will settle deep in your soul.

She'll make your heart flutter and your soul sigh with happiness every single time. Drawn into Love is a classic ARR BOOM romance that you definitely won't forget. I know I won't.

This series is a must read for contemporary romance lovers where the couple is the main attraction, the BOOM is real, and happy endings are always guaranteed. ARR gained me as a number one fan from her first book and I'll never stop reading all her words.

I highly recommend this book and incredible series.

Starting over is never easy and Courtney Williams decides she needs a completely different path but in the process she meets Lucas and his daughter, who is a doll, and her life takes a path she never expected. This story touched my heart and left me with a warm cozy feeling overall. There were spots that made me want to go in and smack people (when Courtney and Lucas's exes showed up mainly) but what a great story.

Sexy Dad alert!

I love second chance books, absolutely love them. But what I love better is single Dad books, yes single, hot, sweet Dads are my weakness. And Drawn Into Love gives us both of those combined into one awesome read.

Courtney and Lucas both have had terrible past relationships and to see them fall so deeply in love with each other made me smile. They are absolutely perfect for each other and their story had me feeling all the love. There are definitely times that Lucas’s daughter Maddie steals the show, she’s a smart cute little girl whom Courtney falls in love with as well. I love this authors work and I adored this read. Check it out.

Lucas and Courtney meet after her divorce and him settling into a new-ish place after getting custody of his daughter, Madeline.

I loved it. I loved Courtney. I loved Lucas. I loved Madeline. I loved his family. I loved how this story plucks at the heart strings. I loved their love.

So you can I had a lot of love for this book, actually this author in general!

And the ending, the different points of view...loved it!

Not my first read by Aurora Rose Reynolds.

Lucas & Courtney's story is a very sweet one. They met when Courtney needed a contractor & from the first moment they laid eyes on one another, there was something there. Both divorced and cautious about the opposite sex, they venture into the unknown...together.

Lucas in the ULTIMATE SWOON #BOOKBOYFRIEND GOALS! Courtney is a mess, one where she doesn't believe in herself anymore. Including why Lucas would want someone like her. Watch out readers LUCAS will steal your heart in this one!! (fanning myself) Not going to go too much into the sexy scenes BECAUSE they are always alpha and steamy in Aurora's Books.

4.5 STARS FOR THIS READ. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK & THE SERIES.

ARR has done it again and made another book with unforgettable characters! Courtney is a woman with unbelievable strength. She had a rough start to life as a child. She married a man that she devoted her life to. He betrayed her by doing the unthinkable during a time in their marriage she needed him the most. Courtney divorces him and moves on to a new city and new life. There she meets a handsome architect named Lucas. They are drawn to each other immediately. Courtney quickly finds herself falling for not only Lucas but his daughter Maddi. Lucas has an ex-wife who is an absent mom. He doesn’t think he wants a relationship but after seeing Courtney care for Maddi instantly he knows those initial sparks mean something. He makes it known he wants her and will keep her. We get to see some characters from the previous books in this series and the ex’s resurface as well. Lucas makes it clear he won’t lose Courtney and will fight to keep her. ARR gives us the hot alpha males we love in this book with the strong woman we have grown to love in her series. Loved it!

Drawn into Love is book 4 in the Fluke My Life Series and it was the book I have been waiting for I really wanted to see Lucas and little Maddi get the happiness they so so deserved and that’s exactly what they get with Courtney. This may be book 4 but I firmly believe this book can be read as a stand-alone but if you haven’t read the previous books I will bet money that after reading this one you will want to play catch up with the others in the series.
Lucas a devoted single father and Courtney a woman with trust issues have many obstacles to get past before they get their HEA and this book felt more like I was taking a journey as Lucas, Courtney and Maddi make a life for themselves together.......
You know you have read a great book when you are left feeling warm, emotional and fuzzy inside and this book certainly has all the feels. It’s an book that’s easy to read, its sweet, its steamy, it’s witty and it has characters you will fall in love with, its well plotted and runs at just the right pace and it will captivate you from the very first page to the very last line so I’m leaving you with please one click this must read from the very talented Aurora Rose Reynolds.

This book wasn't one of my favorites by this author. Too much ex-drama and virtually NO sex. I found myself bored by this couple. Maddie was cute though...

I’ve read the other books in this series and really enjoyed them, so I was looking forward to this book releasing! I then received an email from the publisher with this book being available for review, so I was able to read it early! I started reading it as soon as I had finished my current read, and after reading, I can say that I enjoyed this book a lot! The plot developed at a fast pace, which normally I don’t like, but I felt like it worked for this book as it didn’t drag things on! This book also only took me a few sittings to read and I really enjoyed the direction that the author took the plot in! I loved the chemistry between the two main characters as well! It leaked off the pages and allowed for a few seriously hot scenes between them! There also wasn't any action and suspense, but the romance was definitely enough to keep me intrigued by the plot! The characters were also amazing and made this book even better! Courtney was the main female character, and in this book she was starting over and was in a new city working at a new job! I loved Courtney in this book! She was a very likeable character and I found her very easy to connect with! She also just wanted to have a family and be loved, and she definitely found this in this book! Courtney had also been through quite a difficult situation and this had a big impact on her, but I'm really happy that everything worked out in the end for her! Lucas was the main male character and love interest of Courtney! I respected Lucas a lot in this book because he was a single father and he ran a successful business! It was easy to see how much Lucas loved his daughter and all he wanted was for her to be loved and cherished! I loved the way that Lucas was with Courtney too! He really loved her and wanted her to be part of his family! He was very protective of both his daughter and Courtney too! I loved that this book was written form both Courtney and Lucas’s point of views! I was kinda expecting it to be because the other books in this see is has been written from dual point of view, so I’m really happy that this book was too! It helped me connect and understand Courtney and Lucas more and allowed for more things to happen in the plot, especially as they were both going through their own situations! The ending of this book was also left at the perfect place for Courtney and Lucas, which made me really happy! I’m now not sure if this book is the final book in this series lol, but I really hope it’s not! I would love this series to continue, but in a way I would understand if it’s the final book! The ending did leave it open in a way! I still have a few of this author’s other books to read and I can’t wait to see what she’s going to release next! I also love the cover for this book a lot! If matches other covers in the series perfectly and the covers models really suit the characters of Courtney and Lucas! It would definitely draw me to the book as well! Big thank you to Aurora, Montlake Romance and Netgalley for an ARC of Drawn Into Love!
