Sex. Betrayal. Forbidden Love. Lawn Boy.
I'm not a catch, I'm not even certain I'm what they'd call 'mentally stable,' not anymore. Too much has happened too fast and it ripped my soul in half. I'm alone, with a plastic stick in my hand that says the one word we'd been so eager to see.
Pregnant.
Lucky in love once is a miracle, but I lost him, and this baby is all I have left. My life turned to ash in a blink and there's nothing I can do about it.
Years pass and I'm still here, but it doesn't feel like it, not until the lawn guy, Daniel Clemment, checks me out. Me. A yoga-panting, pony tailing, frumpy-butt, frizzy mommy who's covered in whatever the baby tossed on me at lunch.
Daniel's dark eyes linger too long, as if he likes what he sees. I'm shocked and flattered, but he's too young. The age gap between us is over a decade, but that doesn't stop him. If I sleep with him everyone will think I've lost my mind. Maybe I have, because everyday that I see Dan's sexy, toned body glistening in the sunlight, I consider feeling him pressed against me, naked. The few times his fingers grazed my skin were heaven, but once the clothes come off--he's a god and I'm... me.
I've been alone for so long. Surely one kiss won't hurt anything, one taste of his mouth should be harmless. Things don't have to go that far, but I'm wrong.
Love only comes around once in a lifetime. Only fools think otherwise, and I'm the biggest fool of them all.

************************
Going into this book I thought it was going to be a tear-jerker- Don't get me wrong it is very emotional, but we don't get a chance to know the person that is ripped from Genevieve's life leaving her crushed beyond repair.
Genevieve is one hot mess and rightfully so. Her friends are always trying to hook her up, and her mother is just nasty sometimes. She is surviving, and until she takes notice of Daniel, she finally gets that spark back. Daniel is a dream- young and hot beyond belief. When he shows interest in Gen, she thinks she is imagining it because why in the world would he be interested in her. Things turn ugly before they go beyond friendship and Gen finds herself missing Daniel and realizing she made a huge mistake. Now Gen needs to come out of her shell and fight for Daniel. Even if he does accept her apology its going to be an uphill battle for these two. Fabulous ending.
