When Love Comes Around

By: Radclyffe, Ronica Black

Narrated by: Lula Larkin

Maya Sanchez never planned on starting over—not like this. After losing her wife in a tragic accident, she moves back to her Arizona hometown with her four-year-old daughter, determined to rebuild their lives. But their fixer-upper needs more than she can handle alone. Enter Nolan Wright—skilled contractor, ex-Army machinist, and exactly the kind of reliable help Maya needs. What she doesn’t need? The way Nolan makes her feel something she thought was long buried.

Nolan is trying to move forward, too—one renovation, one day at a time. Helping Maya should be just another job, but from the moment they meet, the connection is undeniable. As attraction kindles, so do the secrets neither of them are ready to share.

Falling wasn’t part of the plan, but love doesn’t wait for perfect timing. Can they trust each other enough to build something real, or will the past tear them apart?

Excellent book

When I see a book by Radclyff, I get it, no matter what, and this one she wrote with another writer, who I never heard of, was excellent as well. this was domesticated, not with an doctors or policewomen, in fact the MC’s profession was n to specified. T was well written the story well developed and you couldn’t not like it. Eve Lula Larkin who I am not a great fan of, did an excellent job narrating it.

Say what A?

This is one of those books I will always treasure and will most likely pick up a paperback copy for lending. If I had known I'd be going to a ten hour AA meeting I would have passed the novel by...but I didn't know and I'm glad for every minute of listening. It's a wonderful story about life, when something suddenly happens to leave a life shattered, learning to cope, moving on, and rebuilding a family after tragedy. It's about forgiveness, and how to support others in their sobriety. I guess this hits home for me because I lost my wife and stopped going to meetings. This novel is prompting thoughts of going back to the rooms.
