Ryker Falls Book 7: We Belong Together by Lani Blake

Ryker Falls Book 7

He’s happy as a lone wolf

Firefighter Luke Trainer loves his family, but that was where he drew the line. He had no interest in opening himself up to the pain of loving anyone who doesn’t share his blood after the hell that was his childhood. Luke’s carefully controlled life seemed on track. That is, until Quinn Harper came home and wreaked havoc on his heart.

She’s beautiful, distant and wanted to be left alone, which suited him just fine. Then her father’s barn burns down, and a series of accidents suggest that something is off with the Harper family and he finds himself wanting to keep her safe.

Luke gets news that the mother who left when he was a child is dead. She leaves a younger brother that he and his brothers must step in and claim. The life that he’d carefully built for himself was imploding fast. But the one person he found himself turning to constantly was Quinn.

She’s got no time in her life for love

After joining the air force at eighteen, Quinn worked hard to become a fighter pilot, a goal she’s had since childhood. There was no time for boyfriends or fashion, or the things her old school friends had been doing. Dedication and focus was how she lived her life.

She hadn’t planned to go home to Ryker Falls. Her life was the air force, but when her father has an accident, she knows it’s time. Time to reassess what she’s realized. Quinn wanted a place to call home, and someone to share it with.

Finding the sexy Luke Trainer still there had been a surprise. The man had turned his life around, but like her, she knew beneath the surface there were demons. When they are continually thrown together, she realizes that in Luke she’s found something she never knew she was missing. Someone who understands her.

As their spark of attraction flares into a fully fledged inferno, Quinn and Luke are facing a scary, uncertain future. Will forgiveness allow them the chance to make things work? Or will the scars and danger of the past keep them apart forever?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Luke Trainer has finally met his match. The last of the Trainer brothers to fall in love and there is no one like Quinn. I was so happy to see Luke finally get a book! And I loved Quinn! Quinn returns home to check on her parents when her dad has one too many accidents lately. Quinn is a fighter pilot in the air force and pretty badass. She is the opposite of being the girly girl her mother always wanted and is still pushing for. Especially since her mother believes that is the only way Quinn will find a husband and give her grandchildren. Can't say I blame Quinn for not coming home often. But despite her pushy mother, she loves her family and likes the idea of coming closer to home. Then she sees Luke Trainer, someone she hasn't seen since she was a kid, and boy has he grown up. Their paths continue to cross while she is home and the chemistry between them is very much there. But things take an interesting turn when Luke and his brothers get some world changing news. Turns out, they have a young half brother from the mother that left them when they were kids. And he needs them now. Quinn becomes the rock Luke needs and soon he has come to realize that his feelings for her may be more than he expected. But with a lifetime of expecting people to leave him, can he open himself to her? Or will he let his fears overtake him? Loved their story! I thought these two were such a great match. And of course it is great to see everyone is Ryker Falls being their nosy selves and try to make these two realize the feelings they have for one another. Another great story to this series and I'm looking forward to the next one!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
