My Review:

Van is by far the best book in the entire Vested Interest series, Moreland has outdone herself with such heartwarming and emotional romance that won’t disappoint at all.

In the book we are introduced to Van Morrison who works for BAM, a highly successful development company founded by Bentley, Aiden and Maddox. They have truly created a company that is innovated, but also one that treats its employees well. Van oversees a lot of the projects for the company, but when he is not busy at work he loves working with wood. He is constantly working on the next project along with Olivia Rourke, the head of the design team at BAM. They’ve worked together for a year now, their teams work side-by-side and he has developed feelings for her when she is clearly off-limits to him. Not only is she seven years younger than him, but a single mom who wants a forever that he cannot give. He tried it once and failed. Van will not let his guard down and get hurt again. But when Olivia needs him the most, he vows to protect her without realizing just how much his life was about to change forever.

Olivia Rourke loves her job at BAM, it’s challenging at times but she enjoys what she does. That also means that she gets to work with Van all the time and she has secretly developed a crush on him that she can’t deny. Olivia loves how sweet he is with Sammy, but she knows better than to have a relationship that might not end up working out. Van never signed up to be in a relationship with a single mom and she can’t give him that responsibility. She has been hurt in the past, but when she finds out more about Van’s past, she realizes that he might just be it for her. It would take a turn of events to truly test their love for one another and see if they can actually have a future together.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Van, it was really sweet and romantic from beginning to end! Van will steal your heart and leave you swooning for the characters. It’s evident from the start that they both have pasts to overcome, but being together is what makes them stronger. Van’s relationship with Sammy was everything! He is a gentle giant to her which I loved. The cameos that other main characters from previous books make really tied well with the series. The ending is unforgettable, have your tissues ready because it’s going to get really emotional! I would highly recommend checking out this book as well as the entire series, it’s romantic, steamy and full of swoon worthy moments. You will not regret it.
