Description
I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a crush on Noah Marshall. It’s been ten years since I last saw him—and when I set eyes on him once more, I realize my feelings for him have only grown.
This was supposed to be a simple visit—a short time in the US, where I had so many happy memories. I just wanted to share this small town, where I grew up, with my adopted daughter. Helping my BFF establish a new business gave us a reason to linger…and threw Noah back into my life.
I can’t resist his seductive smile or his kisses. The more I resist, the deeper I fall in love.
My life is back in Australia, and Noah’s is here, in small-town USA. But my daughter wants nothing to do with him. She is my world…but so is he.Love friends to lovers books?

OMG! I wish I had Joanne’s storytelling mind, because this book, is a great addition to the portfolio of amazing books, I have read from her. The story is not just about the romance between Noah and Abby, but is interwoven with the painful issue of child neglect and the effects it has on the child in the long term. The book took me on an emotional rollercoaster but also kept me on the edge of my seat. Joanne is one of my favourite authors and I can’t wait to read her next book, because it is definitely going to be amazing. Korkoi, Goodreads

Packs a punch. Don’t know how Joanne does it, but she manages to pack such an array of issues in a concise story. Abby has an adopted daughter, Skylah. She’s in the USA visiting her friend, Emma and her twin, Noah.
She’s got her hands full with the belligerent Skylah, her crush on Noah is back in full effect. Sweet with a bit of heat. Lisa, Goodreads

This is a lovely, sweet story by Joanne Dannon about a couple coming together in the face of challenges. Single mum Abby adopted ‘little miss personality’, Skylah, in the hope of giving her a secure and loving home. Skylah has had a sad start to life, causing her to be insecure and fearful of anyone who encroaches on her relationship with her new mum.
When the two move temporarily to the USA to help Abby’s friend Emma get her business off the ground, Abby’s old crush on Emma’s brother Noah is reignited, and Skylah isn’t happy. She can see the friendship blossoming and she makes it difficult for them to have any time together. But Noah handles Skylah’s concerns in a caring and delightful manner, including her in their activities and bonding with her in a way that surprises even him. Suffice to say, decisions need to be made about the future for the three of them and the choices aren’t easy. Or are they? LBennett, Goodreads
