Review / Release Blitz: Cruel North (The North Brothers #4) by JB Salsbury

Time has passed. But their chemistry remains.

Cruel North, an all-new surprise pregnancy, forced proximity contemporary romance with sizzling chemistry from New York Times bestselling author JB Salsbury is now available!

Cruel North is an angsty second-chance, enemies to lovers romance where the most hated man in the North Brothers world finally gets brought to his knees.

A teenage girl with my eyes and a familiar glare, strolls into my life and she’s calling me Dad.

Vanessa was my high school girlfriend and the smartest person I knew. She had a plan, a future, and she swore nothing would get in the way. Until she became pregnant. I thought we agreed on our plan. I sent her the money. Then she disappeared.

Her parents told me she was in South America for a year. They told me she needed space. I never heard from her again.

Seventeen years later and she’s back. I’m staring into those green eyes that used to tempt and taunt me. But it’s not just about us anymore. We have a daughter.

Wanting to get to know her, I convince them to move in with me for one month. I’m so angry with Vanessa and she seems to be equally upset. Every insult from her smart mouth invites me to engage. The brutal chemistry between us ignites old embers. I wish I could hate her. Instead, I want her.

But too much time has passed, and I fear some hurts run too deep to heal.
At the end of thirty days, I’ll have to let them go.
Unless I figure out a way to keep them.

MY REVIEW

Hayes' workaholic life is upended when a sassy 17-year-old comes into his life and claims to be his daughter. There's no way it's true, but when she tells him her mom is his first (only) love, Vanessa, suddenly he's seeing things a whole lot clearer. But he's so angry that Vanessa kept his daughter from him that when he suggests they move in with him so he can get to know Haven, that anger just might be the biggest obstacle to the second chance his heart really wants. Can they both get past all the pain and anger and let love back into their lives?

Vanessa may have had to raise Haven all on her own, but now her only love is back in their lives, asking for a chance. Should she give it to him? She's unsure if her heart can take the pain it's endured for so long, but soon the close proximity is doing things to her and she's right back where she was when they were in the throes of first love. If she opens herself up she just might have the future she envisioned all those years ago.

I knew Hayes' backstory was going to be heartbreaking. His grumpy, OK, downright cruel, manner didn't come from nowhere, he had to have been hurt or experienced something terrible, to make him that way. And he definitely had experienced the thing we all dread - losing the love of his life. Reading as he fell in love with his daughter, and realized he had never fallen out of love with Vanessa was painful at times, but so satisfying. I love that all their snark at each other was magnified within their feisty, tell it like it is daughter, that they had never stopped loving each other, and I especially loved how Hayes changed, allowed himself to warm up to love and life again, and finally found the happiness they had been denied all those years ago. JB definitely saved the best North Brother for last.
