The premise of this book sounded interesting to me, so I decided to give it a read and see, because I am always looking for new authors to read. Some explicit wording is in this review.

The storyline was well written...Courtney divorces her husband after she finds out he's not only cheating on her, but has gotten his mistress pregnant while she herself is undergoing fertility treatments. Bitter and disillusioned, she moves to New York to start over. Her only consolation is that she received a huge settlement in the divorce. She buys a house that is a blank canvas and needs to remodel it.

Luke is a single father, devoted to his six year old daughter Madeline. He is also an interior architect, and the person Courtney is referred to as the one to remodel her new home. When they meet the attraction is immediate.
They soon begin seeing each other, and while determined to take things slow, it speeds up quickly, as Luke and Courtney fall in love.

Overall, I enjoyed the book. The characters were both believable and likeable. I would read this author again.

[I received an arc for an honest review]

Drawn into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds is the fourth book in her Fluke My Life series, but can be read as a standalone. It's a wonderful story about family and love.

Courtney and Lucas have both been let down by the person in their lives that they thought would make all their dreams come true. All they want is a family, love and the feelings of home. Courtney's ex-husband cheated on her and started that with someone else. Lucas' ex-wife gave him his daughter but not a mother or a wife. Lucas feels an instant connection to beautiful and caring Courtney. She feels it also but is afraid that it's all too good to be true and is hesitant to trust after what her husband did. It isn't long before she falls in love with his little girl, Lucas himself, and the life they could have together. Both Courtney and Lucas have some heavy baggage and encounter a few bumps on the road to their happy.

" Everything becomes glaringly clear. I want her, and there is something between us— something huge. I haven’t felt this kind of attraction to a woman ever."

Courtney is the sweetest and I admired her immediately. She is caring, kind and stands her ground when it comes to her ex-husband. Down to earth and with real insecurities, she made a perfect heroine. Lucas is everything I expected from Aurora Rose Reynolds, he's caring, sexy and an alpha. Once he decides to pursue Courtney he is ALL in and considers her part of his family. The sexual chemistry between them is off the charts and make you blush 💕 The third star of the book is Lucas' daughter Maddi, she is absolutely adorable and adds extra love and joy to the story line.

"I miss you. Even here, with you in my arms, I miss you because I know I have to go and I can’t take you with me.”

Drawn into love was everything I love about Aurora Rose Reynolds' writing and I can't wait to read what she dreams of next.

This is something I notice with all of her books although it seemed more prevalent with Drawn Into Love. It’s obvious that Aurora Rose Reynolds’s writing is inspired by Kristen Ashley. I’ve read every single one of Kristen’s 50+ books so I’m incredibly familiar with her writing style, character mannerisms, and common phrases. I usually refer to ARR as “KA light” because it’s like I’m reading a KA book without most of the depth and emotions. Harsh, but true.

ARR essentially writes Alphas and heroines that have many similarities to KA’s Alpha heroes and heroines. Not only that, she uses the exact same phrases and quirks that you can find in any KA book. It’s always bothered me and taken me out of her stories any time I come across such an instance, but I felt like she was channeling KA in every single page of Drawn Into Love. From Lucas thinking everything Courtney does is cute to him calling her “babe” or “baby” almost as soon as they meet, to Courtney whispering half the things she says when talking to Lucas and being amazing but not realizing. ALL of this is classic KA. It seemed like every page, I would come across something that would remind me of KA and it kept taking me out of the story to the point where I was just angry about it. There’s being inspired and then there’s just not having an original thought.

I didn’t hate Drawn Into Love. I actually enjoyed it if I looked past her blatant KA inspiration. But I liked it BECAUSE it was like a KA novel. Not because it was a ARR novel. And for that reason, I can’t in good conscious recommend this book.

After divorcing her cheating husband, Courtney relocates to New York City to start over. She’s got a new job and a new residence that requires some extensive renovation. Meeting architect Lucas Fremont she realizes her love life could use some renovations as well.

Lucas Fremont is focused on raising his daughter, a relationship isn’t something that he’s looking for but his new client has given him reason to pause and think that maybe raising his daughter doesn’t mean he can’t have a life too.

Book 4 in the Fluke My Life Series centers around single dad Lucas Fremont. Not much to say about this book except; like the other books in this series love happened fast and hard; and like the other books in the series, this was a fun quick read. The chemistry between the characters was great, the banter was there and I connected with them immediately. Whether you’ve read the other book in this series or not, it’s an enjoyable read.

3.5 Stars

In the aftermath of her broken marriage, Courtney Williams decides for a completely fresh start. Moving to NYC and using her substantial divorce settlement to renovate the home of her dreams, she is slowly moving on from her heartbreak. And then she meets her architect and the sexiest single dad in the city...

Lucas Fremont would do anything for his daughter. With his ex out of the picture and his full time parent status, he doesn't have a lot of time for dating or a social life. But, the second he meets Courtney, he immediately knows that pursuing her is something he has to do. And when she instantly wins over his young daughter, he decides he is never letting her go...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Drawn Into Love was a sweet, slow burn romance featuring two people risking their hearts at a second chance of finding the love of their lives.

Courtney was devastated when her marriage ended, but with her move to NYC she has embraced her new single status. Not looking for a new relationship, when she meets Lucas, she immediately knows he is a special, genuine man. 

Lucas knew his ex wasn't the woman for him, but when she became pregnant he decided being with her was worth having a stable family life for his daughter. Until she proved that she wasn't the type of woman who sticks around and left them for greener pastures. Meeting someone like Courtney, whose love shines through everything life throws at her shows him that she is the kind of woman he is meant to be with, for him and his daughter.

I enjoyed this book. With an entertaining plot and two charming characters who find the person that fulfills them, and the obstacles they face on their road to their HEA.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.

This read is just heart warming. Both characters are so caring and family focused. Both strong and deserving. Something I really liked about this book is that Courtney and Lucas communicate really well. If he feels something is off he will ask and insist until he is told what the problem is. Then he will proceed to be clear about his intentions or how he plans to fix things. She didn't think she would like a bossy man, but she certainly likes letting him taking charge without loosing her strength as a woman. You will too.

It's always ovary exploding and heart melting when a man is a good father. This story is no exception. Plus Maddie is adorable. She is the perfect focus for these two. Taking things slow pays at the end even when it gives you fingernail biting, I would have jumped the guy already type of feelings as a reader. He definitely is one of the good guys. Mama raised him right.

I absolutely loved Drawn Into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds!!

This was such a feel good romance story and one of my favorite tropes!! I was immediately sucked into this story and didn’t stop until I was finished. I read this book in 1 Day!!

Drawn Into Love is the fourth book in the Fluke My Life series. It is a stand-alone novel and I don’t feel these books need to be read in order. They are separate stories and yes we see some over lap in characters but they play such a small part you won’t be lost or confused at all!!

This is a single father romance about two people who have been hurt in past relationships and have a hard time trusting but are still looking for that love story and HEA!! It is told in Dual POV. I thought the pace and flow of the story was spot on!!

Can Courtney and Lucas find their HEA??

In this book we follow Courtney and Lucas’s story. Lucas is the brother of Levi (from book 1) and is a single dad who has full custody of his daughter. Courtney has just moved to New York City after her divorce from her cheating husband is final. Determined to make a fresh and new start she buys a fixer upper for a house and that’s when she meets Lucas. She hires him to renovate her house. The attraction is instant but both have trouble with opening up. Can they learn to trust each other and find love again?? What happens when the past won’t stay in the past?? Read this book to find out!!

I enjoyed seeing some of the past characters from the other books in this story. It’s always nice when we get updated on what those characters are up to since their book.

If you are a fan of the single dad romance or you have read Aurora Rose Reynolds before, you are going to want to read this book!!! If you have read her work before this is the perfect series to get you started on her books.

What a sweet single dad story. I love me some single dads and Lucas is a pretty freaking amazing one. He and Courtney had some crazy chemistry together. It was really adorable how much Courtney loved his daughter Maddi. This one was a quick read. There wasn’t a lot of drama and low angst. Just a nice and sweet love story.

4.25 Finding Family Stars

Lucas and Courtney’s story is probably my new favorite in the series. I love so much about it, but especially the characters and the storyline.

Courtney meets Lucas following her divorce and moving to to NYC. He’s designing her remodel and when these two first meet, it’s clear that sparks will fly. Things progress at a great pace. The two of them considering all the factors at play before diving headfirst into another relationship.

What I loved most:
Lucas is caring, sweet, and takes such a great care of Maddi and Courtney. He’s the perfect guy!
Courtney, similarly to Lucas, is super sweet and caring. She a great girl who was dealt a pretty shitty hand, but doesn’t let it affect her caring nature. I loved seeing her with Maddi.
The family dynamic with Lucas’ brothers and parents.
The story is well plotted and paced. I loved the additional scenes from alternate POVs near the end. It was a very well rounded story.

Recommended

Courtney and Lucas are basically cut from the same cloth. Both had failed marriages and are hesitant to jump into a new relationship. It’s only more complicated because Lucas has a daughter that he has to think about. I like when stories have children because it adds an element that can alter the decisions that are made for the characters. This one is no different.

Lucas quickly became one of my favorite characters that Reynolds has written. He has that alpha male quality that we have come to know and love from her characters, but because of his daughter he has a softer side that he lets only Courtney see. He knows that he needs to do right by his daughter so he struggling with what he wants as a man and what he needs to do as a father. And Reynolds did an amazing job at playing both sides of the line.

This book is not like the other books that Reynolds has written before. There is a love story in here, but there isn’t a whole lot of love scenes. It’s a different change of pace and I liked that she focused more on developing the relationship between Lucas and Courtney rather than just having a bunch of love scenes. Don’t get me wrong, I love them as much as the next person, but I did enjoy getting to know these characters.

3.5 stars.

This was a nice story, a good second chance at love story.
I loved the characters, in particular Maddi and Lucas. I did feel as if there wasn't too much to Courtney.
The major problem I had with this book though was the writing. I felt the story was rushed and flew at a million miles an hour. There were quite often info dumps, it just didn't feel very polished to me.
Despite this, as I said, I enjoyed the story, in spite of the writing style. It's a light, quick read, so give it a go.

This book was so great I couldn’t possibly put it down I read it an two days and I still want to read more books in this series. I can’t wait for your next book

Courtney Williams is starting over in a new city far away from her cheating husband (now ex).

Lucas Fremont. Smokin’ hot single dad and all-around good guy.

While both have been burned by past relationships, Courtney is cautious when it comes to this “to-good-to-be-true” relationship. But Lucas is not going to let her slip through his fingers. He will fight for their happily ever after and prove to her that dreams do come true.

I love how Madeline was involved in their growing relationship. Courtney’s bond with Maddi was sweet and Courtney’s heart was so full of love for both father and daughter it made me feel all the feels.

In true ARR fashion, this is a insta-love read and a bonus for this hilarious insta-family. This book had very low angst and I couldn’t imagine a more perfect match for these two than each other.

Although this is Book 4 in the Fluke My Life series, all of these books can be read as standalones. Do they have recurring characters? Yes, but since each book primarily concentrates on each couple, they are easy to follow.

I've been wanting Lucas' book since Running into Love and I'm so glad we got it! Gave me all the feels and everything you want in a ARR romance.

When it comes to swoony hero's with some hot alpha tendencies, Aurora Rose Reynolds has that nailed. Drawn Into Love features two divorcees that meet one another seemingly at the right time in their lives which goes so well with the series name Fluke My Life. Thrown in a completely adorable little girl and you have what I would consider a romance hit on your hands.

What I loved about these characters was their personalities, they were both extremely caring individuals and you could absolutely feel that. Both Courtney and Lucas have some exes that definitely had me cursing out loud at times throughout this read.

With ups and downs, a ton of sweet and tender moments Drawn Into Love is a book that I found myself reading easily. I enjoyed the exchanges with all three characters, my heart melted specifically at certain moments involving Lucas's daughter. And let's not forget that I love hero's that are alpha's and Lucas is definitely one of them, his protectiveness was bossy and hot.

I look forward to the next read from Aurora Rose Reynolds, she consistently delivers books that appeal to my romantic soul.

Drawn Into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds is book Four in the Fluke My Life Series. This is the story of Courtney Williams and Lucas Fremont. I have read (and LOVED) the previous books, but feel you can make this a standalone book if you wish to do so.
Courtney is out to start a new life after her longtime husband is caught cheating and making his girlfriend pregnant. Courtney had a on going issue trying to get pregnant so this his harder then just a regular cheating. Lucas is a single father who is trying to raise his daughter after his divorce and his ex-wife lack of involvement in their daughter's life. When Courtney becomes a client for his architect company she starts to open the trust and want into him again. Courtney is learning to trust again with Lucas and her love for his daughter is growing quickly.
I have become a big fan of Ms. Reynolds writing...I recommend this book and her writing highly.

My heart is OWNED! Drawn Into Love was the best ending to the Fluke My Life series, so much so that I really wish it wasn't ending at all! Courtney & Lucas were instantly lovable characters you couldn't help but root for. Lucas was the perfect Aurora Alpha with his protective attitude and immediate hold on Courtney, who herself was a strong goodhearted heroine. I loved the connection she had with Lucas' daughter and how she was written to consciously not step on the biological toes but knew when it was needed for his daughters sake.

The chemistry between Lucas & Courtney held that signature Aurora "instantness" but also felt a bit like a slow burn. It was done so addictively that it was near impossible for me to talk myself into putting this book down. I also appreciated being able to see where characters from the previous leads from the other books in the series were now but how it didn't feel like they were taking over this new couples story. And it may sounds crazy but I really loved how it wasn't an oversexed read. Sometimes too much sex can ruin a story and this one was done wonderfully.

I would love for their to be more in this series but if there won't be it ended on the best of high notes!

Aurora Rose Reynolds is still the queen!

I love ARR words and this books is no exception. I feel in love with Courtney and Lucas. I love the relationship between Courtney and Maddi. Maddi is a charming little girl. This books gives you all the warm fuzzy feels. I would totally recommend this series for any romance lover.

I thought Drawn Into Love was a great addition to the Fluke My Life series. Lucas was the epitome of an ARR hero with his instant possessiveness and attraction to Courtney. I loved how invested into their relationship he became in such a short time, which is what I always look forward to from these heroes. Was it a little over the top? Yes. But in the best way possible that had me swooning all over the place.

Courtney was also a super likable character and I admired how she was able to move on from the life she was living and make a better one for herself. I really felt for her sometimes when she was struggling with losing people close to her but then I was cheering her on for finding more people and letting them love her just as much.

I did get a little iffy about some things from Lucas' past that were brought up. I would have been okay with it for the most part, and honestly I was expecting it, but in the end it just didn't seem to add anything to the story so then I was wondering why it was in there to begin with. But the ending of the book gave me all the closure I needed and I chose to just put these issues out of my head.

Overall, I highly recommend reading this book. It's part of a series and you do see some of the past characters but can be read as a standalone with no problem.

Honestly, I would have given this more stars, I fell in love with these two. This is the book of Lucas, Levi’s brother from Runing Into Love. You know, the brother that tugged at your heart, because his wife was awful, to him, their little girl and really everyone she came into contact with, the wife that every time she spoke, you were thinking “oh no she didn’t”. Well this is his beautiful story with an equally beautiful woman. These two were both married to spouses that cheated, so in Sue’s world, the exes don’t count...at all.

Courtney is new to the city for her fresh start, after fleeing from the cheating ex, who continually still bothers her while he is living with the pregnant mistress. He is something else and Courtney is amazing, so deserving of Lucas who treats her like the princess she deserves to be. She had been through so much, growing up in foster homes and a cheating ex, she just wanted her hea. Lucas is a single doting father, I’m talking ovary overload adorable doting. He is such a great guy, who deserves a great woman after his ex wife, who is still causing problems. But he and Courtney stand together against their exes and it was refreshing to see. He is so wonderful and honestly I can’t say enough good things about him...oh and he cooks, did I mention that? You know what that means, right? Dibs, double dibs, I called him, read him first.

This was a wonderful book about a couple getting a chance at a happily ever after that neither thought they would get. This was a safe read, om and ow drama, the exes, but both do not put up with it and they unite until they prevail. A little pushing away from her, but he is not having that because he is crazy about her and she about him. Sexy af chemistry, he can’t get enough of her and she reciprocates. Loved the secondary/supporting characters, his daughter, her funny af outspoken BFF and his supportive family. We get a heart warming epilogue and an hea. Sorry for the long review, but absolutely floved this book, made my heart happy.
