Tempest Braden adores her family and her small hometown, but sometimes too much of a good thing can be confining. At almost thirty, having watched most of her siblings find true love, she’s anxious to experience her own happily ever after, and the move to Pleasant Hill, Maryland, is just the change she needs. When she rents a room from ruggedly handsome, and closed-off, artist Nash Morgan and his adorable son, Phillip, she thinks she’s found a little slice of heaven on the outskirts of town, where she can concentrate on building her business. That is, if she can ignore the undeniable heat between her and the sinfully hot single father.
When Nash bought his farmette, he had one goal in mind—to provide a loving, stable home for his son. He never imagined he’d be raising Phillip alone, or renting out a room to keep their heads above water. Then again, he never imagined losing his brother, or spending two years sailing around the world with parents who seemed to forget one son was still alive.
Sparks fly from the moment Tempest moves in, and her positive energy and inquisitive nature brings new life into Nash and Phillip’s quiet, confined world. For the first time in years, Nash wants to let a woman into his world, but while his loss made him stronger, that strength came at a price, leaving him walled off and wary of opening his heart again.

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free for a Blog Tour in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Lisa for letting me take part in this tour. The Braden family has had a special place in my heart since I read Lovers at Heart back in 2013. This is the 5th book in the Bradens at Peaceful Harbor series.
Tempest Braden is the safest of the Peaceful Harbor Bradens. She has watched her brothers and sisters fall in love and she longs for the same. Tempest knows she needs to push herself outside of her comfort zone so she has decided to move out of Peaceful Harbor.
Tempest rents a room from Nash. Nash has pretty much closed himself off from the rest of the world. He spends his days doing his chores around the farm with his son and snatching moments to make furniture in order to make ends meet. Nash is tortured by the loss of someone close to him many years ago. Nash never grieved properly and has never had a chance to come to terms with this loss. Nash has kept himself closed off as a method of protection.
This story won my heart because Nash and Tempest are so obviously perfect for each other. From the moment they met I had chills. I also adored Nash's son, Flip. He was so cute.
As always Melissa's writing is wonderful, the pace is perfect and she makes it feel like you are part of the story without intruding.
The scene near the end of this book at Flip's pre-school was the sweetest. I honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect scene. I had happy tears streaming down my face.
I have a feeling there are going to be more Braden stories to come and I cannot wait!!!
