Shannon Stacey - All He Ever Desired (#5)


A second shot at first love

After college, Ryan Kowalski decided to leave Whitford, Maine, rather than watch Lauren Carpenter marry another man. Now his siblings need his help to refurbish the family-owned Northern Star Lodge and he’s forced to face the past sooner rather than later when he collars a vandal—and learns the boy is Lauren’s son…

The last person Lauren needs back in her life is Ryan Kowalski. With a bitter ex-husband and a moody teenage son, she has enough man trouble already. But her son needs to learn a few lessons about right and wrong, even if Lauren has to escort him to Ryan’s door every day to work off his crime.

With all this close contact, Ryan and Lauren can’t deny the chemistry between them is as powerful as ever. But can a few searing kisses erase their past and pave the way for a second chance at true love?
Aww.. Ryan! I pictured him so perfectly and loved everything about him. He was sweet, with just enough manly aattitude. He had a love for a girl that didn't like him back as a kid... and he came back with a whole different kind of love for her. Best part of this book was him reestablishing his feelings for Lauren. It wasn't the same as teens, and her feelings were not in the same place.. but now as adults, Ryan is irresistible and Lauren sticks rocks his socks! As I said in the other posts.. the Kowalski's kick ass as a family, and once again the lovely Rosie takes a big part in this book. You truly have to read this series starting at book #1, or you miss so much. 
  
I also enjoyed how much the ventured into the other relationships from the past and showed where they are now.. and how many kids they have! They also dabbled a bit into the relationships that could soon become over the books that are to come! 
I can honestly say - this is one book in the Kowalski series that I will no doubt be reading again! 
4 STARS!
