About this ebook
From Alexis Morgan, the bestselling author of such “heartfelt, touching stories” (Susan Mallery) as Always for You: Jack, comes another charming Sergeant Joe’s Boys novel featuring a proud military man with a lot to learn about love—and an irresistible woman with a lot to give.
When Sergeant Joe and his wife, Marlene, adopted Tino Gianelli as a teenager, the foster kid began to heal from his deep insecurities. Now, with a successful military career behind him and a good job as a contractor in the family construction business, Tino shouldn’t have any reason to doubt himself. He’s fallen hard for a beautiful heiress, and she seems to be crazy about him too. So why does he keep trying to hide his working-class roots?
Natalie Kennigan’s ideal guy is someone who will consider her an equal and his best friend, not merely a box to check on the road to success. Tino—with his down-to-earth personality, generous heart, and passionate embrace—might just be the one, at least until he finds out about Natalie’s family money and starts treating her like the typical rich girl who needs to be wined and dined. Natalie will have none of it. She won’t be happy until he accepts her for who she truly is—just as she wants to love the real Tino.

“I loved the characters and found the romance to be really sweet. I am a sucker for military romances and I loved the opposites attract vibe with Tino and Natalie. These two couldn’t have been more different, but they just worked.”—Once Upon a Book Blog

An engaging romance. Good bantering among characters, especially the brothers. References to social issues, community is well done. Good read. Book free for honest review from Netgalley and publisher.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It's a sweet, low angst contemporary romance with a small town feel and strong family bonds. It's well written with interesting characters and a good pace making it a perfect book for relaxing and simply enjoying a good story. After the death of his father Tino Gianelli has left his military career behind and returned home to help his mother through the loss and his brother keep the family business going. He's not sure what direction his life will go but for now he's content. Then he meets the incomparable Natalie Kennigan. She's funny, beautiful, and sexy. Oh and an heiress to one of the wealthiest families around. The doubts and fears that plagued Tino throughout his rough childhood before coming to live with Marlene and Joe are resurfacing. He has nothing to offer a woman like Natalie so what could she possibly see in him. The thing is Natalie is one of the most down to earth people there is. She needs Tino to see her. Really see her and accept that he's more than enough for her. As I said this was a very enjoyable book and one I am recommending to everyone.
