I’m good at following rules.

At least I was until that night. I blame the champagne and the tuxedo he wore.
There are several reasons why I shouldn’t be attracted to Elliot McPhee.

- He’s in his mid-forties—too old for me.
- He’s my employee.
- He’s jaded after a disastrous divorce.
- He’s leaving soon.
But he has gray eyes, and a deep velvety voice…did I mention he looks like Joshua Jackson?
I can’t resist.
It’s just a one-night stand before he leaves.
Except, things get complicated.
We’re talking two bright pink lines complicated.
Did I mention he has no desire to commit?
So, we agree not to try.
Except, we can’t keep our hands off each other.
Then I find out he’s not who I thought.
He’s so wrong for me. So why do I still want to create a family with him?

My Review:
Not having read any other books by the author before, I didn’t know what to expect before reading A
long Came You. Needless to say, Burgoa manages to deliver an emotional and steamy second change romance worth adding to your TBR list.
At the beginning of the story we get to meet thirty-two-year old, Fern Spearman, who runs the Spearman Foundation and JS Charities. Her vision is to build a community with affordable housing outside the city. But after reaching out to the biggest construction company on the west coast, North Bay Construction, Fern gets rejected even before pitching her idea to the CEO. Frustrated and devastated, Fern walks into a busy coffee shop and gets offered a seat by a handsome stranger. She can see that he is older than her, but his kindness quickly wins her over. She tells him what happened at North Bay Construction and before she knows it, Elliot is offering to help her with her project.
There is very little that she knows about Elliot McPhee, as if he is holding back information from her and her siblings. But it’s the more time she spends with him that the more Fern starts to see a future with him. The only issue is that Elliot McPhee will be leaving her soon and she doesn’t know how much it’s going to hurt once he does. Yet, it’s the minute they cross the line of no return that neither one expected their lives to truly change forever. As secrets get reveled, Fern will have to decide whether she wants to give them a change or walk away before it’s too late.
Elliot McPhee doesn’t do relationships or stays in one place for too long. But the minute he sees Fern, he is drawn to her right away. There is something about her that calls to him and the more she tells him about her project, the more he wants to offer his services to her. Elliot knows that he won’t be staying in town for long, the itch to move on is constant. After having gone through a tremendous loss in his life, Elliot can’t seem to let go of his past and it still haunts him everyday.
The Spearmans have embraced him as one of their own and the feelings for Fern are heard to ignore. There is a chemistry and attraction between them that is undeniable. Leaving her would be the best option, but no matter how hard he tries, Elliot can’t seem to stay away from Fern. The feelings intensified when he finds out that she is pregnant and it’s from that day on that he vows to make her see that he might just be it for her.
Along Came You was truly a sweet and swoon worthy read. Not only do we get to see Fern and Elliot’s relationship grow, but we also get to see them interact with their families as well. They both have to lean on each other as they go through the series of obstacles coming their way. In the end they have to learn to let go of the past in order to have a shot at a happily-ever-after. The ending fit them very well and it leaves you wanting for more. :)
