Summary
Charlotte Bennett is not a fan of strangers. When she sees a man touching her daughter at the park, she reacts without listening. It’s only later when her daughter is rushed to the hospital that Charlotte realizes how wrong she had been to accuse the stranger of inappropriate behavior.
Doctor Wesley Young only wanted to help the tender-aged girl he witnessed fall, but when her mother attacks him at the park, he’s left stunned. When little Marisol arrives in the emergency department, the mother makes more of an impression on him than the cut she left on his face.
Things heat up quickly when Marisol is no longer Wes’s patient, but when traumatic things from Charlotte’s past are revealed, Wes isn’t sure that Charlotte is the woman for him. Can Charlotte find a way to explain it all so that Wes will accept both her and her daughter?

I loved the narration of Jan McNamara, who brings out the emotions of our characters. Perfect.
Charlotte became a strong woman raising a five year old daughter Marisol by herself. Due to traumatic experiences. she is unsure strangers. Wes is a paediatrician and loves children and comes from a large family.
Charlotte must over come her past and learn to trust. Wes is great character and has great patience.

Wesley & Charlotte!
Stacy Eaton pulls me into a story and keeps me riveted with everything she writes. This is a new series and I love this first installment. Charlotte is very protective of her daughter, so when Wesley goes to check on her after a fall off the monkey bars, she waves him off. Not the best first meeting, They do encounter each other again, and there is an undeniable pull between them. Charlotte comes with a lot of baggage, and Wesley is willing to help her sort through it. Charlotte is not completely forthcoming, so when her past meets her present there is a huge miscommunication. How will it all play out? It took me a while to warm up to these characters, but once I did it was smooth sailing. Charlotte is definitely a defensive person, but with her past it is easy to understand. Wesley is sweet, but jumps to conclusions way to easily for me! This is a great story, laced with relevant issues and a budding romance that is impossible not to fall for. A great start to this new series.
Jan McNamara is a new narrator to me, and I love her voice. It's easy on the ears and full of the emotions needed for this story. I did wish she distinguished between her characters more. At times it was hard to know who was speaking as it all sounded like the same voice. I will be watching for more from her, as I know she will bloom and be wonderful.

This is a lovely, slow-burn love story
I did not like the way the book was narrated at all. All the voices sound alike, so listening was not enjoyable.
The story itself was good. Even though it deals with sensitive issues like kidnapping and sexual assault, it's skillfully written ,so there's no graphic expectation. Some people may still get triggered by it. Overall, it's a good story. It shows how easily someone can make the wrong assumptions without asking for explanations based on their past experiences.
What you've learned from the past definitely makes a difference in how you react to situations in the future.

Great Story! Riveting & Heartfelt!
Stacy Eaton became one of my favorite authors, she has a unique writing style and her stories are original with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. This book Charlotte Bennett and Doctor Wesley Young’s story, Charlotte is a single mom of a five-year-old daughter, Marisol, and Wesley is a doctor in the local hospital. Charlotte misinterprets a scene and jumps to conclusions about Wesley. She later learns of her mistake and gets the chance to apologize when she sees Wesley in the hospital. Wesley is looking for a special someone to settle down and have a family with. He feels an instant connection to Charlotte and appreciates her fierce protectiveness of her daughter. Charlotte has her reasons for being overly protective, she has been through a lot and wishes she could forget the terrible things she endured, but she learned to get past them, she still deals with her own inner demons and is raising her daughter the best way possible. Wesley recognizes some of her triggers and is understanding at first but when her past comes back to haunt her he is the one who jumps to the wrong conclusion and makes the biggest mistake of his life. I adored the Logan family, Marisol was adorable too, I was a fan of Wesley, but his jumping to that conclusion annoyed me, thankfully he redeems himself in the end. The story is is told is alternating point of view and is nicely plotted with plenty of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions and romance. Stacy Eaton, thank you for another great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 I listened to the audiobook edition, this is my first time listening to Jan McNamara and I see she is a fairly new narrator, she did a nice job bringing these characters to life, humanizing them with their emotions. I was not a fan of the way she performed the character voices, I am not sure if it was artist choice or not, but she did not give each character their own distinct voice, so it was hard to tell who was who. A saving grace with this book is the chapters are told in alternating point of views, but her voice for the two lead characters were basically the same, so unless you hear a pronoun you need to figure out whose chapter it is, and having to think about it takes your head out of the story. She is easy to listen to and sets the perfect tone for the story, hopefully in time, she will improve on her character voices, especially when covering the male roles. I am looking forward to hear he grow as a narrator.
