Delighted (Masters and Mercenaries #24.5) by Lexi Blake

 


Blurb:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lexi Blake comes a new story in her Masters and Mercenaries series…

Brian “Boomer” Ward believes in sheltering strays. After all, the men and women of McKay-Taggart made him family when he had none. So when the kid next door needs help one night, he thinks nothing of protecting her until her mom gets home. But when he meets Daphne Carlton, the thoughts hit him hard. She’s stunning and hardworking and obviously in need of someone to put her first. It doesn’t hurt that she’s as sweet as the cupcakes she bakes.

Daphne Carlton’s life revolves around two things—her kid and her business. Daphne’s Delights is her dream—to take the recipes of her childhood and share them with the world. Her daughter, Lula, is the best kid she could have hoped for. Lula’s got a genius-level intelligence and a heart of gold. But she also has two grandparents who control her access to private school and the fortune her father left behind. They’re impossible to please, and Daphne worries that one wrong move on her part could cost her daughter the life she deserves.

As Daphne and Boomer find themselves getting closer, outside forces put pressure on the new couple. But if they make it through the storm, love will just be the icing on the cake because family is the real prize.

 

My review:

I LOVE Boomer! Boomer is not your average alpha book boyfriend. Sure he’s smokin’ but he feels less than because he is dyslexic and it takes him a little longer to learn things. He has a heart of gold and a curiosity for new things.

Daphne has come a long way in finding herself and raising her daughter. Lula is so smart Boomer could be intimidated but she is a little girl and he reminds her of that and encourages her to be more than her brain.

I loved this sweet and sexy story.
