Life isn't turning out the way Courtney dreamed it would. The same goes for Lucas. After a divorce, a relocation, and a house purchase, Courtney is finally moving on with her life and is determined to be happy and successful. What she doesn't expect is the handsome single father that makes her question her decision to be man-free. Lucas has always wanted forever with a good woman and to build a family like the one he grew up with, unfortunately his ex had a different idea. What he finds with Courtney could be the dream of all dreams, but he'll have to win her over while navigating tricky exes, a daughter yearning for a mother, and Courtney's most well-kept secret.

I was drawn to Courtney right away and absolutely loved how she stood up for herself despite all the conflicting feelings she had regarding her ex. She made up her mind and was her own first champion and supporter. The way Courtney's boundaries included both steel and softness were wonderful. What also endeared her to me was the way I could absolutely relate to her reflecting on the little things that proved her marriage wasn't as happy as she thought it was. Her honesty despite her insecurities gave her appeal, her desire to be loved and vulnerability were character strengths rather than flaws, and her heart was her best asset. I saw her shortcomings but loved her both because of and in spite of them.

Lucas was even more wonderful than Courtney in my opinion. As much as I loved her, I loved Lucas and then some. His commitment to Courtney showed in everything he did and there was nothing he wasn't willing to do to show her how invested he was in them as a family. Never letting his ex get the upper hand, upfront honesty and transparency, not rushing into a sexual relationship yet still sharing intimacy, and the way he was with his daughter all came together to make a superlative male lead.

There were probably some things about the story that bothered me while I was reading, but by the time I was done I couldn't remember a single one. The whole story won me over and made me wish I had started this series from the beginning. Supportive side characters that enhanced and didn't detract from the story added another layer of depth without distracting from this particular romance. I'm eager to see if one particular character gets a story of her own. For now, I'll have to satisfy myself with starting from the beginning.

Drawn into Love is the fourth book in Fluke My Life Series. It can be read as a standalone, but why not start this great series at them beginning. The story is a easy read, with a single dad and precious daughter and a woman who's starting over. The characters were likeable and real with their feelings. I liked seeing past characters too. I enjoyed reading this story.

I received this book from Netgalley.

We have met now single dad Lucas in the earlier books of this series but you can easily read this sweet romance on it's own. This book is the perfect mix of humor, dogs, kids, messy families and even messier ex's. And through it all, somehow a friendship grows into something more.

Lucas and Courtney have been burned by love and neither one is ready for more. Or so they say. It seems that love grows where we don't expect it. These two together were just destined to be. Both needed to convince the other to just take the leap and try again. Such a sweet romance. Perfect curl up with a book on a Sunday afternoon type of read. Loved it all!

Drawn Into Love is the latest in the Fluke My Life series and I can think it is now my favorite book of the series! I just love the romance, the connections, the swoon worth moments and chemistry that Ms. Reynolds is known for in her books. I know going into one of her books that I am going to fall in love with the characters and I did just that with Courtney and Lucas. I wanted happiness for both of these characters, how could you not especially with the added addition of Maddi, Lucas’ daughter.

Lucas had me swooning more than once. He was instantly infatuated with Courtney and I loved how he took charge and made her his, even when Courtney tried to fight it you could tell that she was only trying to protect her heart. The way she fell in love with Maddi and Maddi with her, just made me smile.

Drawn Into Love will draw you into Lucas and Courtney’s book from the very start and having you believe that there is that special person out there for all of us until the very last page. I adored and loved this book and is one I can easily say needs to be on your TBR lists!

4.5 Stars!

Lately I have read quite a few books categorized as a single parent romance, and Drawn Into Love by Aurora Ross Reynolds is the best one yet. It is well-written and all the characters have a nice chemistry. This is the fourth book from the author's Fluke My Life series and it can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Paralegal Courtney Williams is recently divorced. While going through treatments for infertility, her ex was cheating on her with his secretary and now they are expecting a baby. Needless to say, Courtney needs to get out of dodge and start anew. Luckily, her very robust divorce settlement enables her to relocate to New York City. Her good friend from her days in foster care is an attorney, and she has offered Courtney a job. The residence Courtney purchases needs a complete redesign, so she hires highly recommended architect Lucas Fremont to do the job. Lucas is a divorced, single dad to an adorable little girl. Courtney and Lucas share an instant spark, and overtime they fall in love and form a family.

Ms. Reynolds has become one of my favorite authors and I always enjoy her effortless writing style. This is a terrific story, and Courtney and Lucas are interesting, complex and genuine. They are a hot and fun couple, both in and out of the bedroom. Lucas's daughter is easy to love and she is a wonderful character. If you enjoy a novel with a lot passion and energy, then pick up a copy of this book.

After reading the first book in this series, you were left yearning for Lucas and little Maddi to get some happiness. They finally get it here with Courtney, who desperately needs some love herself! You don’t need to read the other books in the series to enjoy this one, but if you love it, you’re going to want to, and see how Lucas and Maddi started out

The story was an easy read, with an immediate attraction and happiness on all parties’ parts. The drama is easily supplied by the ex’s in their lives. A little bit of girl time with Abby, Courtney’s bestie, and some Fawn, with a smidge of Levi. In other words, a wonderfully sweet and sexy read, with an awwww epilogue that covers several points of view

I don’t think I’ve ever read a book by this author that I didn’t like, and this book is no exception. I would recommend reading the other books in this series first though, just to get a little of the backstory – but it can be read as a stand-alone as well.

Lucas is a single, divorced dad and meet Courtney when he is hired to work on her house. Courtney is also newly divorced after being betrayed by her husband, and a bit wary of men and the possibility of a new relationship. The chemistry between the two is instant and off the charts, and they both want to see where it leads despite not really looking for, or wanting to be in a new relationship.

This is a heartfelt and sweet romance that really tugged at my heartstrings. There is some drama, but it is rather quicly resolved and doesn´t disrupt the developing relationship between Lucas, Courtney and Maddie too much. The book is written in dual POV and the story has a good flow, especially the first half, and is very well written. It´s a 4.5 read for me, and the only reason I´m not giving it 5 stars is because I felt that the story kinda slowed down a bit in the second half. I really enjoyed Lucas and Courtneys story, and think it was a good ending to this series.

Courtney and Lucas have both had bad relationships in the past. They're both leery to trust again but feel the draw to each other. Are they both going to be able get through what their pasts have done to them? Will they be able to let their guards down and let each other in?

Lucas is sweet, a great dad and is an alpha. He knows he wants Courtney in his life but he's got a fight on his hands. Courtney is scared of her feelings for Lucas especially since her ex treated her the way that he did. (I totally wanted junk punch the ex.)

If you're looking for a sweet, hot burn with an alpha then this is a book for you!

MINI SPOILERS BEWARE!!What i love about Aurora Rose Reynolds books are you are guaranteed an alpha male who will light your kindle on fire. This book is no exception the insta-love between the two characters is great and as always romance has the odd bump in the road but it always makes the HEA that much sweeter. An easy but good read over a lazy sunday for me made it a fun book to add to have read.

My favorite so far! I’ve enjoyed all the stories in this series but Drawn Into Love with the single dad and the sweet woman who wins his heart takes the #1 place.

I’ve wanted Lucas, Levi’s brother, to get his own HEA since we met him and his awful wife in the first book. Now divorced and with sole custody of sweet little Maddie, he’s moved to the city and is living across from his brother. Devoted to making up for the lack of a decent mother to his daughter, he’s also a very successful architect.

Courtney hasn’t had the easiest of lives, and the less than stellar end of her marriage has only left her with broken dreams. A fresh start in a new city and a new house is what she needs, and in the first meeting with the architect that will design her new home remodel all is forgotten but the incredible chemistry they seem to have.

I freaking loved this book. Lucas is the stuff dreams are made of, with his hunky bod, bossiness and devotion to being the best daddy to his little girl. The fact that he could dirty talk like a boss did not hurt one bit. The second he meets Courtney and realizes the potential they share he goes all out to win her over.

Courtney had some healing to do, and Lucas and Maddie were just the right people for the job. She was sweet, caring and funny and I completely adored the way she was with little Maddi.

With some mild angst, I felt the whole exes thing could have been milked a bit more and was actually kind of disappointed that when we got more it was barely mentioned at the end of the story. I loved the time we got to hang with some of the other couples and all the puppy love. Sweet, sexy and light, Drawn Into Love was exactly what I expected and I enjoyed it from start to finish.

*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book*

This is the first time in reading this author with one that I could sink into. Courtney and Lucas take you into this one giving you the romance fix you crave. The characters are the winners in this one that are used to draw you in with their lives then twist the faucets on your emotions. But it also has some road blocks that give the bumps that life provides at times that pulls you to the edge waiting to see how it will transpire. Being also a plus was that this one is a different kind of second chance romance.

Drawn Into Love
By: Aurora Rose Reynolds

📚💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕📚

Truest of love stories!!!

Well let me start by saying I am huge fan of this author. She writes with so much intensity and emotion pulled from each book it’s felt page after page. Some are quick witted story lines that are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat. So being able to read this love story didn’t disappoint. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills. Courtney and Lucas are the perfect example of when you open your heart and let people in love finds its way in.


Authors Blurb: Courtney Williams wanted forever. She got six years of empty promises, a divorce, and a well-deserved settlement that’s paid her way to Manhattan. She has a new home under renovation, a new job, and a do-over as a happy “single in the city”—until she meets an architect with designs on more than her beams. He’s also a devoted single dad, a great cook, and has dark lashes to die for. Too good to be true. Now all Courtney can do is whisper, Oh no, not again.
Divorced Lucas Fremont isn’t looking to get swept away. But how can he not with a woman this sweet and sexy? She’s making his broken heart beat fast. His sister-in-law, Fawn, says go for it. But as cautious as Courtney is, Lucas has to do more than that. He has to fight for it. Now all he can do is think, Don’t let this one get away.
But Courtney comes with a secret. And Lucas comes with a bitter ex. If love is to stand a chance, they’re going to have to take a chance.

I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

Drawn Into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds is book 4 in the Fluke My Life Series. This is Courtney Williams and Lucas Fremont's story. We've were introduced to Lucas Freemont and his precious little daughter Madeline in the previous books. At that time he was married to evil witch Eva and now, in book 4 when we get his story, he is
finally free of Eva who is not present in Madeline's life and that's something which is sad to read about in this story. Lucas is a single dad and living in New York. He is this hot architect who meets this beautiful woman named Courtney. She was referred to him because she needed renovations for her new home and Lucas was highly recommend. It's clear that sparks went off during their first meeting and a connection was formed. Courtney is newly divorced in a shocking turn that she didn't see coming. Now she is trying to rebuild her life- will that be with Lucas? There are many things that they consider before diving headfirst into a relationship. There are obstacles, ups and downs. Oh and there is happiness, laughter, and heartbreak, but Lucas's devotion to Courtney never wavered. Ms. Reynolds wrote with pure emotion, love and feels. I started and couldn't stop reading until I was completely finished. This story will enthrall you and entice you with alpha, single dad and sassy, sweet divorcee'. Its another beautiful love story.

Drawn Into Love is such a good, easy fun read. Courtney and Lusas are great characters as well as a fantastic couple. Little Maddie, Lucas' daughter, absolutely stole the entire show for me. He was such an amazing father and the two of them made this book! I love reading funny, easy romance with not too much angst thrown in. This was perfect for me! This book is part of a series but can definitely be read as a standalone. If you are in the mood to fall in love, have fun and be charmed by the most adorable child this is one hundred percent the read for you!

Drawn Into Love is book 4 in the Fluke My Life series. The series is centered mainly on the Reed sisters and Freemont brothers. It can be read as a stand-alone. Aurora Rose Reynolds brings us a sweet and flirty second chance love story. This is Lucas and Courtney’s story. Lucas was introduced in Running Into Love. Lucas is a single dad to Maddi. Living and working in NYC. Lucas wants to focus on his daughter. Courtney has recently relocated to NYC after a disappointing marriage that ended in divorce.

They meet when Courtney hires Lucas, an architect, to redesign the house she bought. Lucas is alpha, hot, kind, caring and a great dad! Courtney is so sweet and genuine. They have both had difficult relationships leaving them hesitant but their connection, their chemistry is too strong to deny.

There is something between us. I feel it whenever I’m near her.

Neither one of them are looking for love but it finds them! I enjoyed reading Lucas and Courtney’s story. The sexy times are H.O.T.! The story flows and the drama is minimal. It made me smile! There are a few cameos but not as many as in previous Fluke My Lifestories.

Drawn Into Love is the conclusion the Fluke My Life series. No one writes hot alpha/strong female/romantic love stories like Aurora Rose Reynolds! Although a bit predictable, I still loved the epilogue (no spoilers)! And there was a little bread crumb left over leaving me to wonder if there will be another book or another series…..

This series has been fast and fun! There isn’t much more to say other than I loved it!

5 Stars!

This is how you end a beautiful series...

Aurora Rose Reynolds is back with the fourth and final book in the Fluke My Life series, delivering the absolute BEST book in the series, warring with my sweet Levi and Fawn for that top spot. But alas this series is back with a final bang and y'all we finally get to see Levi's brother get his much needed and so much deserved happy ending.

She's a new divorcee ready to start the next journey of her life. He's a single dad trying to give the best life to his little girl. And from the moment they meet, nothing will ever be the same.

Drawn into Love was a sexy, sweet, fun, emotional, intense, complicated romance that hooked me before I even got to the first page and not ever coming up for air until I had devoured every single word they had to give. Courtney, Lucas, and Maddi rocked my entire world from the moment their lives intertwined and I was dedicated on finding out how everything would settle out for these three. And I'm pleased to say that Aurora did not disappoint (not that she ever could!), at all in this book, not for one single moment and created an unforgettable couple that stole my heart and told a beautiful journey that will settle deep in your soul.

She'll make your heart flutter and your soul sigh with happiness every single time. Drawn into Love is a classic ARR BOOM romance that you definitely won't forget. I know I won't.

This series is a must read for contemporary romance lovers where the couple is the main attraction, the BOOM is real, and happy endings are always guaranteed. ARR gained me as a number one fan from her first book and I'll never stop reading all her words.

I highly recommend this book and incredible series.

Starting over is never easy and Courtney Williams decides she needs a completely different path but in the process she meets Lucas and his daughter, who is a doll, and her life takes a path she never expected. This story touched my heart and left me with a warm cozy feeling overall. There were spots that made me want to go in and smack people (when Courtney and Lucas's exes showed up mainly) but what a great story.

Sexy Dad alert!

I love second chance books, absolutely love them. But what I love better is single Dad books, yes single, hot, sweet Dads are my weakness. And Drawn Into Love gives us both of those combined into one awesome read.

Courtney and Lucas both have had terrible past relationships and to see them fall so deeply in love with each other made me smile. They are absolutely perfect for each other and their story had me feeling all the love. There are definitely times that Lucas’s daughter Maddie steals the show, she’s a smart cute little girl whom Courtney falls in love with as well. I love this authors work and I adored this read. Check it out.

Lucas and Courtney meet after her divorce and him settling into a new-ish place after getting custody of his daughter, Madeline.

I loved it. I loved Courtney. I loved Lucas. I loved Madeline. I loved his family. I loved how this story plucks at the heart strings. I loved their love.

So you can I had a lot of love for this book, actually this author in general!

And the ending, the different points of view...loved it!
