A Woman’s Strength and A Man’s Loyalty Prove that Love Can Overcome Even the Most Dangerous Obstacles.
One. Chance. Encounter.
That’s all it should have been.
Angry, cold and intimidating is a bad combination for any man, but for Tyler Morgan who’s lost everything, it’s who he’s become.
And all he wants is to be left alone.
Until bad decisions and a tragedy bring a woman into his life who refuses to let him be alone any longer. A woman who’s capable of looking beyond his hard shell and their cold encounters to the man beneath. A woman determined to teach him how to live again after he’s lost the most important things in his life.
Grace Dimarco has a secret.
Growing up with seven older brothers has always made her feel it’s her against them, with no one in her corner, and no one who understands her need to become her own person.
Until she meets a man who encourages her to be the woman she needs to be. A man whose sheer size is intimidating to most, but comforting to her. A man who will take on anyone in her defense.
Including her brothers.
But someone knows Grace’s secret and is using it to his advantage. Someone who’s forcing her to face her own fears. Someone who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
What he wants is Grace Dimarco.
But Tyler Morgan isn’t willing to lose the woman who saved him.
Jennifer Hanks is a busy author and mom. Her stories are contemporary romance and romantic suspense, all with the underlying message of the power and strength in love. She’s also a sucker for a Happily-Ever-After. Her love of reading and books in general started at a very young age and has steadily grown into a love of writing as well. She admits to being addicted to all things romance and has no plans of quitting her habit. Jennifer lives in Pennsylvania with her two children. When she’s not reading or writing, she can be found with her kids at their various activities. Her house is frequently filled with any combination of her children’s friends, nieces, nephews and a variety of pets.
I keep forgetting that a person can survive breaking their neck – and that’s just what happens to Tyler (Ty) Morgan, the injury ended his career, and he has been in a bit of a void ever since, that is until he gains guardianship of his two young siblings (Sophie is 5 and Seth 7) and Grace Dimarco after a year of being on the periphery of Tyler’s life due to her job, decides he needs her as a friend, and so the fun begins. Especially as Grace being the only girl of the family has 7 highly overprotective brothers and not all of them are keen on the budding relationship between Tyler and Grace.
Despite his life of fame as a sportsman (NFL player), Tyler is in fact shy and doesn’t do great in social settings, but thanks to Grace, the kids and the rest of the Dimarco clan he finds himself getting roe and more comfortable being around people and interacting. I enjoyed how he stood up to Grace’s brothers and made them double blink.
In this book it is Grace who starts the pursuit, with Tyler despite being attracted to her and liking her keeping away, but once he is in, he is all in. That being said his mixed signals to Grace did make me want to tap him on the head and tell him to get a grip.

The scene where the kids come to Tyler’s bed, because they're missing their mum was sweet, but if I am being honest I think greater emotional intensity could have been achieved when it came to depicting the loss the kids had suffered, not saying I like seeing kids suffer (even fictional ones), but there could have been some gut-wrenching and highly emotional scenes that could have potentially led to this book having a more powerful impact.
I’m looking forward to reading more about Grace’s best friend Charlie and her brother Ben as well as Tyler’s friend Dex, please don’t let me be wrong in thinking
The mcs were ok, nothing really outstanding or memorable. Tyler was big,gruff and shy which is a surprise from a former football player. He got women in his football days but he's not been with anyone since his injury.
Grace is the main pursuer here but eventually Ty got it together
Again the kids stole the show
The mcs didn't get together until late in the book but when they did get together they worked as a couple
My high rating is however for the DiMarcos who really had a bigger presence in this one. Some of the books in this series didn't work for me but I'd recommend these books just for this family alone. I think I have a crush on the patriarch Jack and Luke is my favorite of the family members.
I didn't know a person could survive a broken neck so that was interesting
******** I'm really really really REALLY hoping that Ben does not end up with Charlie, the rumors of his manwhoring would be too much for me if he does get his hea with Charlie especially as we know here she had feelings for him all these years.
I have said over and over again that if there was one book family that I would love to be a part of, it would have to be The DiMarco Family. They are a large family but they have hearts and if you gel with them, they will welcome you with open arms once you are in their circle, it is hard to get out as you won't want to leave. I am sad in a way as after finishing Grace, I only have one more book to read in this series and hope that we may have the next generation series by Jennifer Hanks - that she writes the kids stories like a few other authors have done. Grace is the youngest of the DiMarco's and she is also the only girl in the family with her seven older brothers. We got a quick snippet of Grace's story in Jake's story as Luke was shot and in hospital, Grace runs into Tyler Morgan. Grace and Tyler have a rocky start and see each other a couple of times over the year but then a year passes and Grace is called by her boss to accompany her to Tyler's. Tyler's dad and stepmother have died and now Tyler is guardian to his half-siblings who are 5 and 7 years old. Tyler is socially awkward and doesn't know how to do this, but he is the children's last hope. With Grace's help, we see Tyler becoming the best Dad he can be and we watch a romance blossoming for Grace. What happens though is that someone else wants Grace and is willing to kill for her. Grace finds herself a stalker, but what happens when the Stalker starts inputting himself into Grace's life? Is her HEA over with Tyler before it begins or will Grace's brothers along with her extended family help save Grace from her stalker and Can Tyler stand up for the one, he loves or will the emotions he feels for her overwhelm him and scare him away from her? Find out in another amazing installment by Jennifer Hanks in her DiMarco Family Saga.
I so enjoy how Hanks writes the kids in these books. They win my heart every time! I did struggle a bit reading this because there wasn't a whole lot of dialogue. Tyler is all in his head quite a bit. Otherwise a great addition to the series and I am really looking forward to Ben's book.
FINALLY we get the baby girl of the Dimarco family's story. Grace has been in all of the other books, but this book we get to know what she has been hiding from her family and more about her personality. She honestly is as good as her family makes her out to be and she meets a man that helps her see that.
Tyler is hurting. The one thing that made him feel alive is gone and he will not ever get it back. Enter in a beautiful, sweet, and loving woman that changes all of that. Well and the fact he has a huge bombshell dropped on him. This guy does not like violence, but he will not shy away from it if it is shoved upon him. The thing is can he keep his woman acting the way that he has before.
I LOVED THIS BOOK. I honestly cannot say that enough, it was so freaking good and I loved how everything played out. Also Tyler as the strong silent type is one of the freaking sexiest things ever. I am definitely over here fanning myself after reading about his interactions with Grace!
I cannot say enough how much I recommend you reading not only this book, but this series!!
PS: I received this book as an ARC but am honestly reviewing it!
Tyler Morgan just became my favorite guy that's not a DiMarco.
I absolutely love the DiMarcos and everyone the DiMarcos have adopted into their family. Grace's story was slightly different than the previous ones. It had to be - she's the only daughter.
Grace is hiding a secret from her family. Being the only girl in her family, she's always been outnumbered and overprotected. She meets Tyler Morgan by chance and he's rude and cold to her.
Later, Tyler's world gets flipped upside down and it's Grace, by chance, that comes to his rescue.
These two build each other up. It's so great to watch each one come to the other's defense. Grace is attracted to Tyler, but he's sending her mixed signals and she's not sure where they stand. Are they just friends or are they more?
Then there is someone else that wants Grace all to himself - only he's not nice and he knows Grace's secret.
I found myself in tears several times throughout this book. This book is more emotional in ways that it wasn't in the others.
Jack DiMarco has always been my favorite. He sees people in a different light than others and had this huge heart of gold. Only this time it's his daughter who's heart is at risk. When she asks him why he didn't treat her brothers the way he treats her, he answers, "Because they aren't my baby girl." This is probably my favorite of the DiMarco's (tied with Elaina).
If you are a fan of macho guys with soft hearts and strong females, you need to read this. All of Jennifer Hanks books are HEAs stories that are injected with fun, sexy stories with some suspense and mysteries mixed in.
First book I’ve read in this series and I’m off now to read the rest I loved Grace and Tyler, it’s a lovely romance, not too much angst or drama with the couple themselves which I loved, I hate it when there is tons trying to keep pulling them apart. It’s a nice story with a happy end abc a little drama. Only criticism if have if any is the epilogue , it ends so oddly and not about the couple, it’s to lead into another story, but it feels so out of place and incomplete, it should end on Tyler and Grace and their future, minor criticism but felt a bit jarring at the end. But great read overall

Fantastic! Probably my favorite book in the series...which is saying a lot because I loved every single book!! I love a bit of mystery with my romance. Tyler was such a great character...I love a grumpy hero that finds his match. Grace is such an authentic character you can’t help but feel like she’s real. I have fallen in love with this family and these characters from this series. Jennifer Hanks is a hidden gem in the Indie world!
First off, I LOVE the cover. It's very elegant and classy. I love the dress and the image that's depicted. Very Graceful. Loved the story line. It's very solid. Although it was super sad about Tyler's father and Tara and how the kids were taking their deaths. My heart went out to them. And that's one reason I know this is a solid story line because it makes you feel for the characters as if you're actually in the story with them. I felt like the characters were extremely easy to relate to and I fell in love from the moment I opened the cover to the moment I closed the book. I love both Grace and Tyler's character images. Very sexy yet wholesome. I love the idea of Grace's big family of brothers and her father. It's something that's super easy to relate to yet it's like a family goal as well for a lot of us. I love that the kids and Grace softened Tyler up after his hard time and that Tara and his father's death took on a huge significance with everyone in the story. The scenes of Grace with her dad really struck a cord with me and it was awfully touching. I loved the complete family feel that the overall plot line had and it really warmed my heart in a way that it hasn't been in a long time. As a story of redemption and how two people not only found the love of each other, but also of a family coming together at long last; I can totally tell you that I'm going to be reading the rest of the series. Every single one. 5/5 stars. Excellent book. Excellent author. Look forward to reading more.

What a great story, I really got sucked in from the very beginning and I really wanted to see how these two would get together. So Grace is the sister of seven brothers, and while they’ve always been protective of her she never felt a part the gang. Tyler has always felt alone, he has always been extremely shy, but had masked it by being rude and gruff. I felt like these two were perfect for each other, they worked really well together and it was really interesting and engaging story. Now that I’m done with Graces’ story, I’m going back to check out her brother’s stories.
I've literally devoured every single book in this series and yes, I've LOVED every single one of them, but I can say unequivocally that Grace has become my favorite Dimarco book! Why you ask? Because Grace is a spitfire and she doesn’t back away from any challenge thrown her direction and trust me when I tell you Tyler is a BIG challenge in so many ways.
Their first meeting had me chuckling because of Grace’s yellow VW bug and once you read the book you’ll understand. I could feel their immediate chemistry but Tyler was very standoffish and rather surly quite frankly and Grace wasn’t going to put up with that so she went off on her merry way. Fast forward one year and everything for both of them changes!
When we see this giant of a man again, my heart truly hurt for him. He’s getting devastating news and on top of that he’s now guardian to two little people that he’s not seen in years and he’s just not sure what to do with them. Add on to this the guilt he’s feeling for not reconnecting with his father and he’s pretty much a silent mess! But Grace is there and really takes charge of things even if she doesn’t want to because Grace is so nurturing and full of love and when Sophie and Seth appear no one can help but love them…it just takes some warming up for our hero, cuz, little people and he don’t really interact.
I immediately fell in love with these kids because they have the ability to change Tyler from the inside out! It’s a process though and quite the journey. Along the way, Grace and Tyler become closer and discover they can’t deny their chemistry. Having said this though, there’s obstacles in their way, some are Tyler’s own demons and others include Grace’s brothers…but don’t fret Tyler isn’t afraid of them.
As this book moved along, we see how Tyler, Sophie and Seth are brought into the Dimarco family and I’m not going to lie, I shed a few tears. There’s agonizing moments that affect everyone, there’s also some very lighthearted moments that had me snort laughing especially when Ty’s friend Dex comes to town!
Along with a love story and the forming of a new family unit this book also has an element of suspense that had me guessing the entire time as things in Grace’s life come to light and it’s quite the secret she’s been keeping! Thanks to her brothers and their skills this situation gets the extra attention it needs. It also allows Grace’s family to see who Tyler really is and not what the media has been saying about him. I LOVED that the Dimarco boys brought Tyler into their confidence because he needed them and this family!
Overall this book was fantastically written, the story is engaging and the characters are people I connected to. I fell in love with Tyler and his newly formed family and his feeling of belonging and I fell deeper in love with all the Dimarcos! There’s more stories here of that I’m sure and I cannot wait to read them all!!
Jennifer Hanks gives us another delightful addition to the Dimarco series! I just can’t get enough of this family! This time we get Grace’s story, what a firecracker! Being the only sister to alpha, protective brothers has caused her to grow up with some serious backbone. And boy is she a force to behold! Grace proves herself to be a delightful character to read about, headstrong, gregarious, compassionate, and hilarious. Mix in a little brooding, shy, smoldering hottie named Tyler and you have quite the match. Due to an injury, Tyler is forced to leave pro-football. Now he is floundering. Since he starting walking football has been his life, it was his future, with no back-up plan he feels like a fish out of water. Already an awkwardly shy person, without football he is nothing. Feeling like a failure he shrinks back and avoids people at all costs and that includes family. Tyler is hanging on, living day by day until once again tragedy strikes forcing his life to change overnight. Grace just happens to be there to witness the delivering blow. Whether he wants her or not, her compassionate nature won’t let her walk away. She’s the calming source he desperately needs and wants.
“I wanted to savor it knowing before long she would walk out that front door and out of my life. I would not say anything to stop her. I would need her to go, but right now, I needed her so I could breathe.”
Tyler doesn’t believe he’s worthy of someone like Grace and he tries to push her away. Her brothers are fully on board with that. They are not about to let someone like him be a part of her life. They all may be against the relationship, Tyler included, but Grace has other plans.
“Fingers run along my bottom lip. You’re the dream I never knew I had.”
Grace has also kept a secret from her family, one she is terrified to reveal. When it all comes tumbling out, who will hold her together? In the midst of all the drama add in a crazy, gun wielding stalker and greedy in-laws. The plot thickens with captivating intrigue!! Will Tyler find his path in life? Will these two find the peace and calm they both need?
“I’ve only had one real taste, and I’m obsessed with you. Wondering what you’re doing, who you’re talking to, who’s putting his hands on you. One taste and I’m hooked.”
Can Grace convince Tyler to take a chance?
“We all wear masks sometimes, Ty, but when we find the person we can take that mask off for, we’ve found a person worth knowing.”
I absolutely loved Grace and Tyler. The strength they gave each other allowed them to find their true selves. These two characters are good people, but together they are phenomenal! The author gives us a wonderful page turning story you can’t put down. It has the perfect balance of drama and humor that brings tears and chuckles.
Oh the one girl of the Dimarco group. We knew it was going to take a tough man to stand up to the Dimarco men, as well as love such an outgoing woman like Grace. Tyler Morgan has been stuck in a rut since his football career was ended due to an injury. For a giant of a guy who also suffers from being abnormally shy, football was all he believed he ever had. Now a year later, he's just discovered that his father and step-mother were killed in an accident and he now has sole guardianship of his younger brother and sister. Grace is the youngest and only girl in the Dimarco clan. She's determined to get out from under the protective shield her brothers and father seem to have erected around her. Living away from home and having her own career is the first steps for Grace to assert her independence. But there is one secret that she keeps close to her heart. One that she thinks if her father and brother's knew they would do everything to stop her from doing what she loves. Tyler and Grace had met a year prior to Tyler losing his father and in Grace's eyes, Tyler hates her for some unknown reason. But now she's back and trying to help Tyler make sense of the changes happening in his life now. Grace and Tyler are the perfect compliments to each other. While she may be outgoing, she also understands Ty's introvert nature and now his brother's Seth's as well. She pushes him when needs to be, but she also gives Ty his own reason to push himself beyond his own bubble. But at the same time Ty grounds Grace. He gives her space to be who she is but at the same time makes sure she has somewhere safe to be. These two may be my second favorite of all the couples so far. My all time favorite is Brody and Gia, and I think the reason this one is a close second is because Ty and Brody are so alike in that they don't talk much and they love with all their hearts.
Title: Grace (The Dimarco Series, #6) Author: Jennifer Hanks Genre: Contemporary Romance Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
ARC read in return for an honest review.
Being the baby of the family means your parents and older siblings tend to very protective of you, and for Grace Dimarco she’s been well and truly protected over the years not only is she the youngest of eight, she’s the only girl. With seven older brothers who are total alphas Grace hasn’t had many secrets but there’s one that only her and her best friend Charlie know, she plans on keeping it that way.
Enter Tyler, a bad injury resulted in him having to retire from the NFL and since then he’s kept himself to himself which suits him just fine as he’s always been naturally quiet despite his fame. Tyler likes to avoid the limelight, he’s not one for conversation and he tries to avoid confrontations however that doesn’t mean they avoid him and that’s how he initially comes to meet Grace but it isn’t until, fast forward a year and Tyler goes through an unimaginable loss resulting in him becoming the guardian of his two young siblings that the pairs relationship truly develops.
However there’s trouble ahead in the form of a stalker, who as well as well as terrorising Grace, forces her hand when it comes to revealing the one secret she’s fought so hard to keep from her family and those around her.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry but most of all you’ll love when it comes to reading this amazing addition to what has fast become my favourite series of late. I really look forward to what to come from Ms Hanks, there has been some brilliant secondary characters throughout the series and I can’t wait to see who’s story is next.
I have been wanting to read this book since the brief hospital scene occurred in a previous book. I was intrigued and just knew there was a story with Grace and Tyler and that her brothers would make things difficult for them. But this was so much better than I anticipated! Tyler is a gentle giant who avoids confrontation until he is forced into it, but his size and reputation on the field make everyone assume the worst about him. Grace, sweet soul that she is, sees past that and embraces the side of himself that Tyler tries to hide. When his world is upended she is the only one in his corner and she brings her entire family into his life. Likewise, when Grace’s seven brothers talk over her and treat her like a child who cannot make her own decisions, Tyler is there to get them to stop and listen to her and back Grace up when she’s used to fighting her battles against her family on her own.
Every DiMarco book is like catching up with old friends. While they are all standalone stories, the eight siblings are so involved in each others’ lives that no one story is 100% finished. We get new babies and new friends with each addition to this series. And Jack and Anna DiMarco are goals.
I loved how Tyler was able to stop the brothers’ chaos when they needed to stop and focus as a unit on their sister to keep her safe. And Sophie and Seth just stole my heart. I was Seth as a child and I loved how the little family that came about helped him to bloom. But Grace and Tyler balance each other out so well and are so very good together. Their book didn’t just live up to my expectations but surpassed them. I was sad that it ended.
Firstly I need to start by mentioning the stunning cover that shows Grace perfectly and really captures her character she’s beauty personified outside and in much like the words hidden within.
Grace is the type of girl you want in your corner because you know once you have her friendship she’s going to be one of those people that strives to make your life happy, she’s loyal to the core and unlike her Neanderthal Dimarco brothers she wears her heart on her sleeve. Being the only girl her father and brothers have always been protective especially Brody but when they realise she’s building a friendship with Ty Mason they instantly start the overprotective brother routines never realising its not Ty that’s a threat to Grace and the consequences could be a lot more fatal than a broken heart.
Ty mason the superstar football hero that lost it all, even his family in the end or so he thought. One tragic event has this sensitive giant having to face life in a way he never expected or wanted but one push after another from his tiny angel had him living life and not just existing! He had a family all be it unconventional and crazy when you added in his newly adopted status with The Dimarcos but he finally had something he never knew he needed or wanted now he just had to try not to mess it up let’s hope he can keep his self in check because he’s sure in the end it will all be worth it!
I adored this story it was sweet and loving but also had twists along the way that gave it the unique Jennifer Hanks style of drama which I crave from her books and as always the family dynamics were hilarious I’m sure I say it after every book but I want them to come and adopted me there so unguarded with the love and devotion to each member whether there 3 or 33 the all get there unconditional support in whatever they choose in life and that’s a true family!
Isn’t the cover beautiful? The cover immediately draws your attention to this book.
Humor right off the bat... just picture a clown car... yes, a clown car. You’ll get to experience a clown car in the very first chapter and it is laugh out loud material. Seriously. I’m not even joking.
Grace is the younger sister who we see glimpses of in all the previous stories of this series (you can read this as a stand-alone, but I recommend reading them in order to meet everyone before getting to Grace) and Ty is an ex NFL football player who had a career ending injury. These two meet when she is told by her attorney boss to pick him up from jail. He’s there for assault. Ty’s not looking so good at this moment. BUT Grace is drawn to him like no one before. Too bad he wants nothing to do with her. A year later they meet again. Ty is now the guardian of his young sister and brother after his dad and his dad’s wife is killed in a car wreck. Good thing Grace is stubborn and stays to help him.
I really enjoyed these characters. I have read the entire series so I love seeing all the siblings and there families. I was expecting this story to have a little more drama in reference to a certain alcoholic... that’s okay though.
Come see what little sis has to offer! Grace is a stand alone in the Dimarco series. While this could be read as a stand alone, I suggest these books be read in order. I really enjoyed this book. Especially since it is about Grace.
I liked the plot of this book. We hear a lot about Grace, but ok only got to see her a couple of times in the other books. I really enjoyed getting to know her more and find about more about Tyler.
Grace is a strong and resilient character. I love how she I can be sweet, but snarky as well. Then you have Tyler. He is surly, but also caring. I loved seeing his protective side.
The heat between these two was evident from the very first scene we see them in back in one of the brothers books. I loved watching it all unfold in Grace's book. These two have chemistry that I loved to love.
The writing style of this book is great. The pace is steady. I loved getting to know Grace. She was the one I felt least connected with and loved that I got to finally feel that with her.
In conclusion, this author has made me feel like part of the family. I loved this book. The poll lot was perfect for Grace. I would recommend this series to others.

Before you begin, make sure you have tissues nearby! The tears will fall, both from the incredibly sweet moments between Grace and her father, Grace and Tyler, and Grace and well everyone! They will also fall from the pure laughter you will be doing. Grace is the only daughter in the Dimarco family and she keeps some secrets because she's over her brothers always butting in her life and protecting her. Tyler is a former NFL player who was forced into retirement due to a horrible injury. He's an introvert who is also lost in life,and it gets even more crazy when his father dies and leaves his much younger siblings with him. Grace helps him find his way with the kids and they find their way with each other. These two compliment each other so well your cheeks will hurt from all the smiling you end up doing during their moments together. Yes all the characters make an appearance, there are a few Dimarco dinners, if you have been missing the family this book is the family reunion you have been waiting for.
I received an ARC copy of Grace and in return for this privilege I am leaving this honest review.
Grace by Jennifer Hanks is book 6 in The Dimarco Series. This is the story of Grace Dimarco and Tyler Morgan. I have read (and Loved) the other books but feel you can make this a standalone book if you wish to do so. Tyler was a famous football player who ended up getting hurt which in turned ended his career. Then a year or so later he ended up loosing his father and stepmother. But he was left with his young brother and sister, who he doesn't really know. Grace is the youngest of the Dimarco family not to mention that she is the only girl, which has always made her very protected by her family. Also she was a girly girl and her hobby that she wants to turn into a career is something that her brother might tease her about, so she keeps it a secret. When she meets Tyler to pick him up at the police station sparks fly for her and him, but Tyler is so down on loosing his career he doesn't pursue it. Then almost a year later they meet up again when she comes with his lawyer to go over what the will is for his parents. This time Grace doesn't back down from her feelings or for helping the stubborn man who wants no one. Loved their story.
Oh how I have been waiting for Grace’s book!!!!! And I was lucky enough to win a free advance copy from the author to read!!!
The DiMarco Family is back!!!! I absolutely love this family and Grace’s book is a perfect addition to this series!!!!
Ty.... he’s nothing like I thought he was going to be. Totally wasn’t expecting an introvert but it so worked! The bond he formed with Seth and Chase just added so much to this story.
Dex... OMG, I love him!!! But surely hope heartbreak isn’t headed his way!!!!
Grace.... not sure if her side job really added much to the story. I could have totally done without it. But she is an amazing character! And we really got to experience her relationships with her brothers that we’d not gotten much of up to this point.
The series continues to amaze me! With the addition of new characters, I really hope the DiMarco Family continues to grow and entertain us with many more stories in the future.
I love absolutely everything about this book! Ty and Grace are perfection! It is impossible to read this book without swooning!
Ty completely broke my heart. He faces so much loss and change in this book! I wanted him to find all the happiness and love. Watching him with the kids and Grace completely melted my heart. While he doesn't see it, he is such a good guy! While he may need a bit of a push from time to time, he always comes through and loves with all he has. Seriously, he is so swoon worthy...and hot! Seriously, so HOT!
Grace is amazing. She knows what she wants, and she goes after it. Growing up surrounded by the protective Dimarco men, she learned to keep to herself, but I love that she still has such a strong connection to her family. Watching that connection grow and deepen throughout this book was amazing.
I love that Ty and Grace completely balance each other. The give and take in their relationship really made this book something special. Their connection was evident from the very beginning, but I absolutely loved watching it grow. And the chemistry, oh the chemistry. Your Kindle may just melt while reading this, but it is totally worth it!
This can definitely be read as a standalone, but fans of this series will absolutely love all the family updates. I love watching this family grow, and may literally die waiting for Ben's book. Okay, that may be a slight exaggeration, but it's pretty close to accurate!
Another winner! I loved this book! The Dimarco family is one of my favorites, as they are a large, boisterous group that pulls together and frequently adopts "strays". This novel might be my favorite in the series thus far. Grace is the only daughter and her brothers frequently jump to her defense.....even when it's not needed. So, when they see her with Ty, a former pro football player with a criminal record, they assume that nothing good will come of it. Once more, the Dimarcos come together too protect Grace, but instead have to get to know Ty.
If you enjoy contemporary romance that will tug on your heartstrings, you will love this book. I couldn't put it down and found myself flipping pages just as quickly as possible. This one is a must read. The author is on my must read authors' list.
Grace worked for Mr Anderson and he was having a very busy day so he enlisted Grace to pick up a client at the po!ice station and take him home.Tyler Morgan was a surly moody man and with Graces bubbly personality sh could get anyone to talk.Tyler happened to be one of the few she would have to work twice as hard at.A year passes before Grace sees Tyler again and its under terrible circumstances. Tyler's father and step mother have been killed in a car accident leaving Tyler responsible for the care of his two younger siblings. When Grace and the DiMarco kick into action they help Tyler adapt to his new role all the while Grace has inserted herself into TYlers life and heart.When the both relizie they are falling for each other Grace has her own issues,she has a stalker and all her brothers and Tyler just want to protect her but when the time comes they might fail.
FANTASTIC, my fav of the series so far. I was waiting for the girl of the family to have her story.
I fell in love with Ty immediately. This big strong man who was so lost and broken inside and didn't realise what he needed to make him smile again. He would never have guessed it would take a beautiful woman, 2 young children and one massive extended family.
Grace has always been overlooked as the only girl and youngest to all those brothers. She has her secrets and her independence on the side that nobody knows about....or do they?
I love the Dimarco family, they show what love and family is all about. They are all there for each other whether they are blood or not.
