Trusting Liam by Molly McAdams & GIVEAWAY

Synopsis: From the New York Times bestselling author of Taking Chances, From Ashes, and Stealing Harper, comes the new unforgettable adult romance Molly McAdams’ fans have been waiting for—the sizzling story of a young woman who must place her trust in the one man who can break through her defenses.

A night they will always remember…a connection neither can deny…a secret that could destroy it all…

When Kennedy Ryan moves to California, she never expects to come face-to-face with Liam Taylor—the intriguing man who has haunted her thoughts for a year.

A man who led her to breaking every one of her rules for a single night of passion that ended up meaning more than it was ever supposed to. Accustomed to disastrous experiences with men, Kennedy shields herself before he can break down more of the carefully built control she’s clung to for the last four years. But every time she sees Liam, she feels her resolve weakening.

Liam Taylor has been asked to help socialize his boss’s nieces. But what he thinks sounds more like a babysitting job ends up leading him to the only girl who ever slipped away before morning—a girl he thought he’d never find again. And now that she’s within reach, Liam’s determined to never let her go.

But when a secret from her past tests their relationship, will they be able to cling to the trust Liam has worked so hard to build?

My Thoughts…

Remember that guy (or girl) that made such a first impression on you that you have never forgotten them?    That is the relationship between Kennedy and Liam.     While their first meeting was in Vegas, while drinking, never exchanging names, and involved a one night stand it was unforgettable for them both.    Of course, they meet again.   The sparks instantly fly yet Kennedy denies them.     Liam is determined to make her feel for him what he feels for her.   

I love Liam.   MAN CRUSH!!   He is tough, sensitive, and so alpha sexy.   On top of all that he loves Kennedy and is willing to give her the time to come to her senses and fall in love with him.    He realizes that he has to not push her and her feelings.  The fact that Kennedy’s past is what is holding her back, not really her feelings for Liam, makes it that much more frustrating for Liam.  It is hard to fight what you don’t know. 

Kennedy is a twin, which I love.   The relationship with Kiara, her sister, was the best.    They understood each other, complimented each other, and gave each other the time each needed to work through what was going on in their lives.   From the story, their home life was good, yet complicated.    Having a detective for a dad made their life interesting, thus the reason they left Florida and moved to California.

I have not read the rest of the books in this series, yet I look forward to doing so.    Usually I read series books in order, in this case I could tell I was missing some history of the characters  but it did not take anything away from the story.    

Excerpt: "Trying not to wake him, I slowly slid out from under his arm and off the bed to search for my clothes. Once I was dressed, I told myself to just leave, but I couldn’t help it—I turned to look at him in the light. I needed to be sure I hadn’t made him up. The images from last night tore through my mind again when I saw the large, tattooed arm resting where my body had just been. The muscles were well defined even relaxed, and the face had a boyish charm now that he was asleep. Such a difference from the predatory stare and knowing smirk I kept seeing in my mind. Before I could stop myself, I gently ran my fingers through his dirty-blond hair that, now in the sunlight, I could see had a red tint to it. And I knew if he opened them, those arctic blue eyes would once again captivate me. But I couldn’t risk that. I’d already stayed too long; I’d already made a mistake with him. Drunken one-night stands weren’t my thing. Drunken one-night stands with strangers in Vegas were even worse.

Straightening, I turned and walked quietly from the room."-- Molly McAdams, Trusting Liam

About the Author: Molly McAdams grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband and furry four-legged daughters. Her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling and long walks on the beach, which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. When she's not at work, she can be found hiding out in her bedroom surrounded by her laptop, cell, Kindle and fighting over the TV remote. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies, fried pickles and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm...or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren't really happening.
