Sunny Shelly’s Review: Deal Breaker by Lily Miller

I came back to Deep Cove with a 6-year-old secret and a million memories I’ve tried hard to forget. But I’ve never been able to forget him.

Ford Winters is more than just my ex. He’s my first love. He’s the only man I’ve ever truly given my heart to. He’s also the father of a little girl he doesn’t even know exists.
I didn’t plan on coming back home, but when I found out my mom needed me, I didn’t hesitate. So here we are, my daughter Poppy and I, back in the place where I left my shattered heart all those years ago.

What I didn’t expect? Walking into the office of my new perfect-on-paper marketing job to discover Ford owns the multi-million dollar company. He won’t even look at me. He’s furious, and he has every right to be after I walked out of his life without even a goodbye. But I need this job, and the company needs me, so we’re going to have to make this work.

Easier said than done.

The pull between us is magnetic. The tension is impossible to ignore. Every second we spend together is fire, and when he finally kisses me, I’m reminded why my heart has always been his.

But when I see how kind and sweet Ford is with my daughter—our daughter—it makes the guilt inside me twist like a knife. If he knew the real reason I walked away from him, if he knew the secret I still can’t bring myself to reveal, he would never forgive me.

I can’t keep the truth from him for much longer, but how do I tell him without losing everything?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Deal Breaker is the first book in a new series from author Lily Miller. Seven years after Landyn ghosted Ford, she’s back in town to be closer to her ill mother… and is forced to face the love of her life after leaving him with no explanation when she gets a temp job as a PR fixer at his athletic lifestyle company.

I am choosing to overlook the fact that Landyn hid such a massive secret from Ford for six years, and then waited so long to tell him once she was back in town. Because other than that, I really loved this story. It had all the right pieces to make it an emotional rollercoaster as Ford and Landyn found their way back together. The way he gravitated toward Poppy was so sweet and that little girl held his heart from the second he saw her.

I loved immersing myself into the quaint town of Deep Cove, and getting to know Ford’s brothers. Also, Landyn’s co-workers Becca and Marco were a hoot.

I’m looking forward to seeing the other Winters brothers find love. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
