That One Heartbreak: A Small Town Single Mom Romance
by Carrie Elks
This was another pretty quick and enjoyable read from Carrie Elks. This is book 3 in the second gen series, this one about the other twin from the previous book. Marley drums in their band, works construction with his brother, and is very involved as a volunteer firefighter. His best friend and former Chief died two years ago right in front of him and he promised to take care of the family left behind. Kate is trying to keep it together as a grieving single mom of a 15, 8, and 6 year old and doesn't want any help. She and Marley haven't been in a lot of contact because she withdrew from the department people but she knows he's always around checking on them. They end up spending more time together and both realize their attraction and developing feelings can't be ignored. Right when things are starting to go well something traumatic happens and then the guilt, accusations, and fear star flying. Overall, I loved how gone he was for her even after denying it so long, and how wonderful he was with the kids. The third act breakup was rough in a way that made complete sense and like it needed to happen. I enjoyed being back in the small town with the Hartson family and others, and look forward to the final book about the youngest brother when it comes out next year cuz he's always been a bit of a mystery.
