BLURB

“I’ll take them!” That’s what I tell the social worker when my pre-k student and his baby brother need an emergency foster placement. I’ll do anything to keep the brothers from being split up. But my apartment’s flooded and there’s only one house I can take them to on such short notice…his. Knox Daniels, my older brother’s best friend, offers his new place without hesitation. He’s not moving back to our tiny town until next month—that’s when all our hotshot firefighters are returning for their one and only chance to rebuild our fathers’ fallen, iconic crew. It doesn’t matter that I’ve been silently in love with Knox since we were kids. It can’t matter that we pretend that reckless prom night kiss never happened. It won’t matter that my feelings for him could destroy his lifelong friendship with my brother and threaten the certification of their hotshot crew. Because I’ll be out of his house long before he gets back. Except Knox just walked in…a month early. And the icing on this awkward cake? He’s gorgeous as always and I’m covered in baby puke. He takes one look at the boys and tells me we can make this work— We can temporarily fake a relationship to keep them from being separated by the system. Suddenly, everything matters.       


REVIEW

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If firefighters, adorable children, brothers best friend and small town romance tropes are your thing, you NEED this book in your life! 

Reason to Believe is such a phenomenal read!  Knox and Harper's story is beautiful, heart warming and gave me all the feels!  Harper and Knox's chemistry from the moment they were introduced in the prologue was  combustible! The first kiss they share as teenagers was so full of emotion and heat I was salivating for more!
 
In present day, Harper is now a teacher and two of her kiddos are in need of a foster parent. Having the huge heart she does, and because of her own experiences with a death of a parent, Harper volunteers. Her apartment is too small and she ends up staying with them at Knox's newly built home. Things get interesting when Knox arrives home earlier than expected and the two begin a co-habitation/parenting arrangement that neither were prepared for. 

Knox absolutely broke my heart. He adores and loves Harper SO much, but has forced himself to stay away from her for years. He thinks she deserves better than him, and has been constantly warned off of her by her brother, and his best friend, Ryker. Knox's devotion to Harper was so heartwarming. She has no idea, and thinks her feelings for him are unrequited. Now that they are finding themselves in close quarters, Knox's rule for himself is to always stay five feet apart from Harper and that is becoming impossible. I could not get enough of their connection. The passion, the pull, the angst, the chemistry, and love betweem them is unmatched, and I loved the slow build and development into more. The emotions I experienced while reading this book, is so hard to put into words. You must experience them for youself.
