When You Knew (The Cabots #3)
An unlikely couple must decide what truly defines family.
Gentry Cabot’s rebellious life comes to a screeching halt when a one-night stand leads to a sobering new reality: motherhood. Exhausted and overwhelmed, the former wild child struggles to raise an infant on her own. After a lifetime of feeling like the odd Cabot out, Gentry knows that what her son needs most is family. For his sake, she plans to rebuild bridges with them, but first she needs a little help on the home front.
Humanitarian worker Ian Crawford has devoted his life to service. Forced to temporarily return stateside, he’s eager to head back to Haiti to expand the nonprofit he just founded in his late father’s honor. He can’t do that without money, so when Gentry offers a hefty paycheck for a short-term gig as a live-in nanny, he can’t afford to say no. Ian expects to deal with a barrage of privileged problems. What he doesn’t expect is how quickly being a makeshift father transforms him.
Despite his growing attachment to Gentry and her child, Ian still has his dreams, and Gentry wants a full-time dad for her son. When the baby’s father reenters the picture, will Gentry and Ian embrace the family they’ve formed or end up worlds apart?
Gentry
Calbot is a lady who doesn't follow the rules. Her latest rebel move
has landed her with a consequence which has thrown a spanner into her
life. She wouldn't swap her gorgeous baby boy for the world, but she is
now a single mum. She works with her family who run their own business, a
tea company. Her maternity leave is over and she really needs to get
back into the office, unfortunately, her son is ill and needs a few more
days. Gentry finds herself in need of a nanny just as a temporary fix.
Ian is a humanitarian worker and has dedicated his life to helping others. He spends a lot of time in 3rd world countries and unfortunately, it has cost him his relationship. His ex-partner has decided to call it a day and wants him to move his belongings out of her house. His job doesn't pay well and he only has enough money for a one-way flight. He takes the job to help with Gentry. It gives him a place to stay and some money but he also gains something he wasn't expecting. The situation complicated but finding love doesn't always go smoothly.
I really enjoyed this book. Jamie Beck is one of my favourite authors. I'll be honest, I don't often choose to read about single parents but Ms Beck writes books I can't get enough of. I really liked both leading characters. They both had interesting back stories and I wanted to see them work it out. I liked the fact the paternal father also wasn't a bad character.
Great read 5 out of 5. Life isn't smooth sailing but fate plays a good hand.
*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This is a Kindle Unlimited read just like the author's other books.
