Sophie's Playboy

Brook Hollow Trilogy #2

by Natalie J. Damschroder

Sophie Macgregor should be satisfied with her life, but her high-paying job and country-club social life aren’t quite fulfilling enough. She wants a family and refuses to consider a relationship with a playboy, even if he is as attractive as Parker Cornwall. Parker’s reputation is well-earned, and he uses it to keep women at a distance. Though deep down he, too, craves a family, his own has a legacy of pain, a legacy he won’t continue. But he can’t seem to stay away from Sophie. When they end up working together, love takes over. Sophie realizes the right playboy can be a good risk. But Parker can’t get over his fear of hurting Sophie--and of being hurt--and reverts to old habits. She can’t convince him that the past can be overcome. Only when tragedy strikes does Parker understand that having and losing is better than never having at all...

About the author

Natalie J. Damschroder hasn't done anything remotely worthy of bio documentation in a very long time, unless you count making up the romantic adventures that her characters live out in her books. She loves combining end-of-the-world stakes with the relationships that make those stakes personal. Love with a Shot of Adrenaline has infused nearly every story she's published. Whether you like quick reads you can finish in a day or sinking into longer books, you'll find something to satisfy your craving for action, romance, and happy endings. She also writes paranormal young adult romance as NJ Damschroder, where all of the same elements apply.

Besides her dozens of published books, what Natalie is most proud of is her family. She and her husband have been married over 30 years and still have the kind of partnership she makes her characters fight for every day. They've raised two awesome kids now living their own fulfilling lives, which you would think would mean she'd write more books faster. But she's enjoying reading, relaxing with good TV, and sleeping too much to give any of that up. In the fall and winter, almost nothing will keep her from cheering on her New England Patriots, even though they don't win as much anymore.

Reviews

[wendy Shelton(obsessedbybooks) · Rating 5 out of 5]

* * ARC received on behalf of obsessed by books for an honest review * *

we all love a playboy, especially one with a sexy dirty mouth and that is what we get with parker. parker is the love 'em and leave 'em type but what people don't really see is the parker who wants love, family. children, somthing else to make us love him, but parker is afraid to trust in love. Sophie has it all money, a great job a life most people could only dream of, but somthing is missing love and kids , but Sophie isn't willing to try with a playboy even if it's parker. or is she.
when they are stuck together through work Sophie starts seeing a side of parker that led her to believe that he maybe worth the risk, but parker is held back by demons, he can't risk hurting Sophie, but is it worth a chance at somthing than at nothing. 5 out of 5
