A McKinney/Walker Novel book 2
COMING MARCH 15!
When ER nurse Nora Sellers is hurt in a hospital scuffle, firefighter Zach Walker blames himself. Blaming himself is nothing new. He’s been blaming himself for years for the trauma his baby sister endured as a teenager. Though with his happy–go–lucky attitude no one would know it. He’s good at his job, he’s a good brother, and a good friend, but Zach decided long ago he wasn’t husband and father material.
Even so, when Zach learns Nora is a single mother with a house that needs his help, he can’t walk away. After a few days with Nora and her ten month old son, he knows he doesn’t want to.
But Nora’s wary. She learned at a young age that the only person she can count on is herself. Now with a baby, a job, and a fixer–upper house, the last thing Nora wants is a sexy firefighter, making her heart flutter. But Zach is more than what he seems, and the more she gets to know him the harder he is to resist.
She’s been brave all her life. Can she be brave one more time and take a chance of a lifetime with her heart?
What I thought about Waiting for You
Playboy Zach Walker meets nurse Nora when he brings a drunk driver to the ER. When the drunk driver ends up injuring Nora, Zach can't seem to get Nora off his mind. He begins to spend time with her and her son and starts to realize just what he's been missing and what he's been looking for in his life.
Nora is not looking for a relationship. She’s had some bumps in the past that have her wanting to stand on her own but as hard as she tries, she just can’t forget Zach and how he makes her feel.
I adored Zach's and Nora's story. It's a quiet story of two people falling in love and having to decide on happiness. It was really sweet in so many ways and Claudia Connor does what she does best by making my heart swoon over Zach's interactions with toddler Will. There's a lot of heat between Zach and Nora too, but she's just as shy as he is when it comes to committing to their relationship. Nora really has to be wooed by Zach and he does an awesome of job of it!
There’s lots of interaction between the Walker and McKinney families in this book, especially between Zach and Hannah that I loved. Like the rest of the Walkers, Zach’s life was influenced by their family tragedies, and it was great to see Zach's true happiness with Nora and Will, and how his siblings and were happy for him too. It made me want to go back and read Hannah's story, which made me want to read Nick's story and had me going back to Matt's and so on and son on. Any book that makes me want to do a reread of an entire series is a 5 star read for me!
If you are looking for lots of drama, Waiting for You isn’t it – but if you want a really sweet love story and happily ever after, it does the job.
