*Just
when Bentley Knight thought life was only about football and women, a Hail Mary
pass comes at him, changing everything.
Forced
to grow up faster than he wants, Bentley struggles with the responsibility of
being a good example to his younger brother, on and off the football field, and
pleasing his frustrated, demanding father. Just when he reaches his limit of
complications, in walks a beautiful blond angel, endangering the delicate
balance he’s finally found in his new life.
When
mistakes of his past threaten to derail his future, will Bentley be man enough
to win the heart of the girl he once ridiculed in high school, who just happens
to be the woman of his dreams?
Heartbroken and
betrayed by Bentley’s abandonment, Haley has made a new life for herself in the
one place she’s felt grounded and at peace. When Bentley returns to town and
discovers the secret she’s kept from him, she vows to keep him at arms length
to protect herself – and her future.
*Bentley has returned
home to the farm and town that have owned his heart forever, and he’s
determined to win the heart of the only woman he’s ever loved – once and for
all. After he learns the secret she has kept from him, Haley’s cold shoulder
threatens to sideline his plans.
When Bentley begins to
tear down her walls, will Haley find the strength to forgive the past and trust
him again?
As Bentley fights for
the life he really wants, will he be able to convince Haley to give him a
second chance?
When life throws one
final pass, will Bentley fumble, or make the most important catch of his life?
*As I fell for him, I caught her…

Favorite Quotes:
“One night
when my dad came home, my mom decided she was going to have a girl’s night
out. But my mom’s night out was a little
different than most mom’s – it’s been twenty-four years and she still hasn’t
come back.”
“I curse this
pregnancy for taking so long. The last
month has been nothing but an emotional train wreck. If she’s not crying over running out of milk,
then she’s mad I bought the wrong kind of toilet paper.”
“Oh Haley, I’ve
completely fallen for you. Everything
you do and say, and everything you are.”
“Haley, I have
never in my life felt this close to anyone. I love you will never be enough. I want to hear your dreams, see your dreams,
and touch your dreams.”
My Review:
The first book
was the best of the bunch in my opinion, but will readily admit that pregnancy stories are among my
least favorite trope. So understandably, I struggled a bit
with the remaining volumes, but was glad I stuck it out to know the ending –
which finally resolved into a sweet love story.
I enjoyed the humor and the story generally held my interest, and was
easy to follow and quick to read. I was
most surprised that Haley would consider being friends with her former high
school bully, much less even dating him.
I certainly would not do the same for my former tormentor. Despite the fact that he had been a major jackass
and she had essentially given up and had become closed off and unforgiving, the
couple had good chemistry and thankfully, the story showed just a touch of steam
to prove that point.

Message
from Shawnte:
I’m so excited to have chosen this charity, to
work with. $1 from every book sold in 2015 will go towards Be Brave Ranch by
Ray Labonte and family. On the behalf of Be Brave Ranch and myself, thank you.
The donation that you made today will make a difference in these children’s
lives. (As of to date, this is the only place of its kind.)

Little Warriors is a national, charitable
organization in Canada that is committed to the awareness, prevention and
treatment of child sexual abuse. The Little Warriors Be Brave Ranch by Ray
LaBonte and Family is a treatment centre focused solely to help children who
have been sexually abused, as well as their families. The Be Brave Ranch
program offers these children a place to heal and increase their chances of
growing into healthy adults, and supports both the child and their families in
their own environment for a full year.
The Be Brave Ranch offers an evidence-based
treatment program that combines multiple proven therapies for children ages
8-12. It starts with an initial 20-day period at the Be Brave Ranch, during
which they form close relationships with the 7 other members of their
peer-group (“cohort”). This is followed by long-term therapy and support for
the child and their family lasting a full year. During this extended period,
children come back to the Be Brave Ranch for 3 other 7-day periods for further
therapy and to reconnect in person with their cohort.
During the one-year program there is more than 200
hours of diverse therapy for children and their families run by clinical
professionals, and offering a unique program including:
• Intensive
trauma focused-cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT)
• Art
therapy
• Play
therapy
• Music
therapy
• Recreational
activities
• Peer
group (cohort) support
Therapy is provided in an enriched “camp-like”
environment in which children also have lots of fun! Being in cohorts helps
each child recognize they are not alone, and gives them peers who have
experienced similar traumas. The children form long-term relationships with
deep bonds, and these also help the children heal.
Child abuse affects the whole family; thus, our
program also incorporates family-centered therapy. Children come to the Be
Brave Ranch with a parent or caregiver whenever possible. The Be Brave Ranch
provides a safe environment for the child and their family to heal.

Bio:
Shawnté lives in central Alberta, with her husband Ricky of
10 amazing years and together they have two
beautiful children. Somehow her husband has managed to trick her into running a
cow/calf operation. As much as she fusses about it, she loves it.
When Shawnté is not sitting at her kitchen table hammering away on her laptop while watching the moose chase her cows across the yard, yes this really happens. Then she is busy attend school activities, community events and chauffeuring children here and there. She is big on playing softball and watching hockey.
When the time
comes to relax, you will find her snuggled underneath her down comforter
reading on her Ipad. Wait…who are we kidding, if the dishes, vacuuming, laundry
or the bathrooms needs a hose down, you’ll always hear her say, “Just after
this chapter.” She doesn’t have a favorite author or best story because
everyday she falls in love with someone new.
Shawnté is
technology challenged so with the help of Lacy you can find her anywhere.
Please go like her page and leave a review/star rating on the books she’s
