Brother-in-law's Baby (South Side Boys #3)

 BROTHER-IN-LAW BABY                                ALEXIS WINTER

Look, this isn’t my dream life.
I never planned on being a single mom begging to live with my brother-in-law.
And it’s no secret he didn’t want this arrangement either.
Fresh off a broken engagement, he isn’t exactly welcoming us with open arms.

But I can’t help noticing the way his eyes linger on my lips,
heavy with lust and a look that says, ‘I’m about to devour you.’
And don’t even get me started on how amazing he is with my son.

I can’t say I’ve been very innocent in this either,
With rock hard abs and arms the size of pythons,
It’s hard not to imagine ripping his tight t-shirt off his tattooed body.
And acting out every dirty scene I’ve ever read in a romance novel.

I just have to keep my focus so I can get my life back on track,
Before my son isn’t the only one falling in love with Mr. Moody and Brooding.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a woman who wouldn’t pay top dollar for a drug like him.
And I have it here.
Right now.

So how do I tell him the reason I ran away is because he’s about to be a daddy?

MY REVIEW

Friends, who all originally meet at a bar as strangers, but click turning into each other’s chosen family. You have an older brother, Kalum, and Maverick. When they are at a very young age, became two of the best at stealing cars, for a chop shop. But when younger brother Maverick has something the FBI needs Kalum decides to do them a favor to protect him, turning them both legit. Now they own two top of the line auto garages. But, both did do prison time. Two other friends are now married Anabelle an artist and Jaxson who is an owner of a gymnasium with a boxing ring. Also, in the mix of friends is the older sister, Tori, and Scarlett. Not totally clear how they both ended up in the south side of Chicago when they are from Wisconsin. However, at some point, Scarlett hooks up with Rick a talker and a user. But she thinks it’s love and she gets pregnant by him. Producing Grant. A now, sweet three-year-old. She is working as an LVN by day and at night as a waitress to make ends meet. Tori her kind-hearted yet foul-mouthed sister watches him at night. Scarlett is falling deeper and deeper into debt. So, on a whim, Scarlett applies for the RN program. Never expecting to be accepted. To her, it is a pipe dream. She is accepted, but, so much in the hole, she knows it is never happening for her. Kalum and Jaxson go to Maverick, who to say, is less than enthusiastic, would be an understatement, about their idea of helping her. You see he has more than enough room at his home, but the home itself is a sore spot. Bitter, you might say. But once the guys tell her to go in for the hard sell taking Grant she does. That and chocolate chip cookies. She catches him totally off guard. She found both his week spots a little boy who likes trucks as much as he does, which melts her heart, and he loves her cookies. When at first he says, no by the end it, he is saying, yes. See the ups and downs of the “Grinch” and “Snow White” living in the same house. The growth and setbacks and then more growths are interesting. Making every girl want a Maverick. This is a Kindle Unlimited free find which I totally enjoyed.
