The One Who Got Away (Murdock Brothers #4) by Taryn Quinn is NOW LIVE!
Gus Murdock: The Loyal
She was my best friend. She was also way too good for me.
Eloise Cross was valedictorian, voted most likely to succeed, and had all the plans to get out of Indigo Valley.
I wasn't going to be the guy to hold her back.
I was her cheerleader and her safe friend. Before I said something stupid like: DON'T GO.
I was the one who left.
I lost myself in foreign lands and learned everything there was to help build houses and structures. I worked my a$$ off to give other people a place to call home.
Until that one night on a beach in Costa Rica.
I thought a bottle of rum would numb all the pain. Because it was her birthday and I was missing her.
And the riptide almost killed me.
Now I have a second chance at life and I'm going after her. No matter where I have to go to find her.
Only to find out she was the one who never left.
Now it was time to show her that I've always been the man for her. And I'll never leave again.
Falling for his best friend was the easiest thing Gus ever did, but making Eloise believe it would be the real work. Indigo Valley is full of hope and new starts. The Murdock Brothers fall hard and fast, but a scorching HOT happily ever after is guaranteed.
These are quick stories served best with a glass of wine or a cup of tea before bed. Or if you’re feeling extra spicy, you can read one of these books on your lunch break!

MY REVIEW
Gus has finally come home. He got the same call that all hands on deck were needed for his and his brothers' construction company, so he finally came home from across the world. He has a small (OK, huge) secret that he's keeping, and doesn't see himself revealing it anytime soon. But then he sees his childhood best friend again and all those feelings come bubbling to the surface. Now he knows why he really came home - for Eloise. She's here and he means to keep her this time even if it means letting her know what happened to him on the beach that has his head (and body) all kinds of messed up.
Eloise did what she was destined, what Gus had hoped for her - went out and got that degree to help land her dream gaming job. And she was there for awhile learning the ropes. But then she too got a call to come home. Only she's home to help her mom after her dead up and leaves. Seeing her old best friend again wasn't on her to do list, but now that she's seen Gus again, it's like time hasn't passed, and that comfort and familiarity is there again. Along with other, more than friendly feelings ... he just might be the one to convince her to stay, and enjoy their small hometown and the love that only longtime friends can have.
There's probably not anything sweeter than friends realizing there's more than just friendship between them. Gus and Eloise's journey from friends to soulmates seemed insta on paper, but reading between the lines, it was really a long trip with years in between. But they couldn't have been sweeter or sexier as they realized just how much they really loved each other, how they laid bare their inner demons the way only the closest friends can, and fell headlong. I adore Indigo Valley and the Murdock Brothers - Cameron's and Maxine's story, Keeping My Wife, is up next and I can't wait!
