Aria goes to The Playground on Thursdays when it's free for Littles. She gets hurt and Tate stitches her leg up. He is immediately attracted but the age difference keeps him from going after her. When he sees her again, her car won't start so he offers her a ride home but when he sees where she lives, he invites her to his home for the night. Being a doctor, he also notices that she does not look healthy so he does an exam and blood work on her. He persuades her to stay while she heals after he receives her test results. Will she stay? Can they work out the age difference? Can they both see beyond their pasts?

I enjoyed this book. I liked Aria and Tate. I felt bad for Aria as she really had no one but herself. I understood Tate's hesitation because of being used. The two of them are so sweet together. Both are uncertain but determined to make it work. There are some missteps. I liked Tate's daughter, Valerie. Tate was so uncomfortable with their conversation.

I hate that this series is over unless Chase gets a story (hint, hint!) I enjoyed this series and look forward to the spin-off series with Declan. ( )
