Synopsis – The Army Ranger’s Surprise by Donna Michaels
Army brat Kaydee Wagner gets twitchy if she stays in one place for too long. But when her grandfather needs someone to stay with him for a bit and his home needs a lot of repairs, she steps up to the plate.
Lucky for her, help arrives from their neighbor’s gorgeous grandson, former Army Ranger Leo Reed.
Leo’s desperate to rise above his dark past and enjoy life again. He’s already made a lot of progress, so when the woman he can’t stop thinking about needs a handyman, he volunteers. But after a very…wet incident involving deadly dance moves and a wayward sink hose, their clothes hit the floor faster than a stack of tile.
He doesn’t want forever—that would mean revealing his past, which he’s not ready to do. She only wants right now, because any other option would require sticking around.
And then Kaydee discovers she’s pregnant.
Review
This book is a charming romance where the main characters find more than love in each other. Leo is an army ranger who deals with the aftermath of something that happened on tour. Kaydee is so used to move from place to place that she thinks herself incapable of commitment. Yet, their growing attraction and support will prove themselves wrong.
This story is sweet in many ways. The characters are relatable and wear their heart on their sleeve. Even if Leo’s arc feels more developed, I enjoyed reading about Kaydee. The only thing I would say (and quite frankly, I’m not sure how to say this without a spoiler – so please stop here if you don’t want to know) is that I was a bit disappointed because of the synopsis. What I thought would be the catalyst ends up being the whole story. I think the synopsis says too much and takes some of the mystery away from the story.
Apart from that, it was a sweet romance between two characters with great chemistry. The way they heal with each other is wonderful. It’s definitely a great read.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
