Catching up on a series you started a while ago counts as Beat the Backlog and TBRs (it does). Here's Cora Rose's "Colin." It's the sixth novel in her Unexpected series.
["Colin
I’ve devoted my life to my son, always putting his needs first, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Becoming a father was the best decision I’ve ever made, but hell, single parenting is difficult. I’m so tired of holding everything together. I need a partner, someone to share my life with. I miss intimacy and passion. I want someone who will take charge and help me let go of all this control I cling to. But an endless string of bad dates and rejection has me feeling like maybe love will never come for me. Maybe a father is all I’m meant to be in this life.
Ethan
My next-door neighbor is infuriating. He’s intelligent and flirty and just so bloody gorgeous. Why are Americans so cheerful and loud? I hate him. I could not hate him more. But what began as a reckless feud between competitive neighbors, has somehow morphed into an attraction I can’t ignore. I feel unhinged around him. I want Colin. I want him so badly it hurts. But he has a kid—an inquisitive, bright little boy who is just as charming as his dad. And the hard truth is, Colin can’t afford to take a chance on me. I don’t do commitment. Not anymore. Not since my ex. And a stubborn, set-in-his-ways prat like me isn’t cut out to be a father, right?"]
We've been waiting for Colin's HEA since book two. And this was utterly perfect for him. Enemies to lovers is awesome, ESPECIALLY when one is British and one is a Revolutionary History professor. It adds all kinds of fodder to the sexual chemistry.
Exhibit A: "'Did you know Paul Revere was an amateur dentist and an artist?' Ethan asks suddenly, and I blink over at him. Okay, is he trying to get me to suck his dick again? Because that's how you get me to suck a dick. I am a total whore for historical facts."
And, like the rest of the series, these two made me cry. Thanks for that.
