Blurb:
“I’m here to see my fiancé. I believe you know Parker, Dad…”
That sentence seems innocent enough in the right setting.
But the woman’s father? Yeah, he happens to be my boss.
The first time I met Cashlynn O’Neil, she thought she was going to die before the plane we were on ever left the ground.
So I did what any gentleman would do—I comforted her, kept her distracted, and then later that night, she ended up back in my hotel room to thank me.
But then a year later she waltzed in the Carrington Cove Animal Hospital and told her father we were engaged.
And that would have been harmless, except the last time I was engaged it left me scarred beyond repair, vowing never to entertain the idea of love again.
I can’t fall for my boss’s daughter.
I can’t keep lying to myself about how I feel either.
But is it possible that someday you learn that it’s not the wrong person that will make you question what you want in life, but it’s the right one?
And is Cashlynn the right woman for me?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
I loved Parker and Cashlynn’s story so much, and the couple on the cover are perfect for how I envisioned these characters in my mind! On the surface, this is a second-chance, fake engagement romance between two people who had a one-night stand. But once you get deeper into the story, it is a beautiful tale of grief and recovery.
Parker has sworn off relationships but allowed himself to indulge in a one-night stand with a beautiful stranger he met on an airplane. They had an incredible connection, and he was flabbergasted when she bolted out of his hotel room afterward. Flash forward to a year later, and Parker is rendered speechless when Cashlynn shows up at the veterinary practice where he works, and it turns out that she his boss’ daughter, and she claims they are engaged!
Parker is so stunted after the failure of his previous engagement, and he truly goes through so much growth before the end of this book. Meeting Cashlynn and falling in love with her (despite his best efforts not to!) changes him and makes him realize that he is more than the trauma of his past relationship and the guilt he’s been carrying around.
Although Parker is hesitant at first (because everyone who knows him knows he has sworn off relationships), he agrees to the “engagement.” Cashlynn is looking to start over her life in Carrington Cove, and with her dad on the brink of retirement, she agrees to nudge her dad in handing over the practice to Parker. As it turns out, Cashlynn is exactly what the buttoned-up Parker needs in his life. He’s so regimented, and she crashes into his space and turns things upside down. Literally and figuratively. (I loved the unplugging of the appliances to get under his skin!)
These two characters balance each other so well, and I thought that Harlow James really wrote a lovely tale in Someday You Learn. Teddy Hamilton is one of my favorite narrators, and I loved listening to him as Parker. He brought such depth to his performance, perfectly executing the nuances of the character’s vulnerability in tender moments as well as the growly lust in the spicier scenes. Likewise, Emma Wilder was vivid in the way she portrayed Cashlynn’s strength and determination as well as her frustration when it comes to her relationship with her father.
I loved how close the siblings are in this book. I jumped into this series for the first time with book 4. I wish I had gotten to know Parker in those previous books, because I feel like I really would have appreciated seeing him find love even more! I am most definitely interested in going back to read the other books in this series, and I am intrigued for Hazel’s book after that teaser at the end!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
Meet Harlow James:
Steamy Romance Author
Harlow James is a pen name I use to protect my identity as a high school teacher. Keeping those two roles in my life separate is necessary, but also fun! It’s like a live two lives, and anonymity gives me the opportunity to be bold and take risks in my stories.
I stumbled upon romance novels in 2018 when I picked up Driven by Kristy Bromberg, and I was obsessed. I had just lost my grandmother too, so reading offered me an escape from reality and a chance to grieve on my own terms.
About a year later, I got an idea for my own book and started writing. I researched self-publishing and jumped in with both feet. I had no idea what I was doing!
But now I’ve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet that’s just for me. When I write, I’m not a mom, a wife, or a teacher…I’m a woman who gets to tell stories that no one else can.
My books are the perfect blend of heartwarming moments, full-bellied laughs, and PLENTY of steam to melt your Kindles 😉 And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.
When I’m not writing you can find me reading or spending time in my kitchen. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. Otherwise, you can find me watching comedy specials with my husband, camping with our kids, or taking naps. I live for naps 😉
