Title: Inevitable (Harmony series #1)
Author: Angela Graham
Genre: New Adult


Synopsis:

Cassandra Clarke, fresh out of college and living on her own, isolates herself from the humiliation that rocked her world a year earlier.
Everything in her life is simple and easy until Logan West, the single father full of mystery and sex appeal, moves into the empty estate next door. A guy who easily attracts the attention of available women in town with one carefree smile.

Cassandra is not looking for another heartbreak and stands her ground, but finds it impossible to stay away from the charming stranger when his four-year-old son, Oliver, takes an interest in her childhood tree house.

It is through Oliver where Cassandra’s eyes begin to open to a side of Logan very few people know. The
 rough edges and arrogant front shed away, leaving the compassionate, yet broken side of him exposed, and finally opening the possibilities to a genuine friendship.
A friendship that is constantly shaken by the undeniable connection building between them.

With temptation arising every time they are near, Cassandra fights to remind herself exactly why Logan isn’t capable of loving her the way she deserves, or is he?

 Excerpt

“Yuck! I hate farm animals especially being this close to me,” a young woman I’d never seen before complained in front of us. She held up both her hands, disgusted and maneuvered around a tiny puddle of mud wearing knee high boots with heels nearly six inches. Her short blond bob and bright-red lipstick stood out among the background of rust, dirt, and livestock.

 We walked behind her silently, watching the hens go about their day. It was easy and comfortable being with Logan. Oliver and Jax were a barn ahead of us and to my relief Julia and Mark went ahead with them as well.

 As we continued through to another barn, my tolerance for the blonde bimbo and her two friends—that were equally out of place but much less aggravating—was wearing thin. Each time we stopped or Logan made a comment she was there, hanging on every word. Her roaming hands rubbed his arm or touched his hand when he rested it on the wood pens.

 It was driving me to a breaking point.

 I wasn’t jealous, really, but I was about to rip her manicured claws off him if she did it again. It was just him and me. You’d think she would assume he was my boyfriend unless…I winced. Logan was a six-foot-two Greek god and I was, well, me. No wonder she acted as if I didn’t exist. Next to him, I didn’t.

 "Oh, my God!” she squealed, hands flailing wildly in front of herself when one of the cows nudged her arms. I bit the inside of my lip, hard, seeing red when the little skank turned around and flew into Logan’s arms. She buried her head against his chest, her hands taking full advantage of having him in her grasp.

 With a shake of my head, I continued walking. Better to leave than say something I’d regret. I had no reason to be upset anyway. Good for Logan, she looked like an easy lay.

 Within seconds, Logan’s hand was folding around mine. I flinched, wrapped up in my own head.

“I think the others aren’t too far ahead. Oliver probably has them stopping to stare at every moving creature,” he said as if nothing happened and it was completely normal to hold my hand.

 Did he really not feel the electric current his touch surged through me?

 With the raw irritation of the blonde still fresh and my feelings that were in no way justified, I pulled my hand away.

“I was just going to get a bottled water. Stay here and I’ll catch up with you later.” I then leaned in and whispered, “She likes you, might as well have some fun.” I nudged my head back at the girl lingering behind us and turned to leave.

 His hand shot out grabbing my arm and pulling me back. He looked almost angry when he spoke. His voice gruff and stern, “I’m not interested in having fun with her, Cassandra. So if you want some water, I’ll go with you.”

I tried to hide the smile tugging at my lips, my heart swelling despite my brain telling me not to read too much into it. With his hand on my back, where I secretly felt it belonged at all times, we turned back around and exited the barn.

My Review : 


Cassandra finds out the hard way that Life can always be unexpected and sometimes Heartbreak is in the shadows. After finding her Boyfriend cheating on her She moves to the outskirts of town into a House her grandparents left for her. As she is preparing to start her new job as a teacher and get her life back together the estate next door sells and in moves Logan , his 4 yr old Son Oliver, and his sister Julia. 

Logan Sexy, Swoon worthy, Single dad . I liked how one of the main characters had a Child, It is not often you see that in a story.  He has been hurt by his ex, and has been raising his son with the help of his sister Julia. He is a playboy, after being hurt he does  what most men do and just goes out with chics for the sex.  He does not want to let anyone in for fear of not only his own heart being broken but his son’s heart as well.  Oliver is his number 1 priority though and you see that throughout the book.
       
“I'll never give up. You have my heart, my soul, my everything. When you're ready, I'll be here."
                                                                          
Oliver is so funny, I loved how his friendship with Cassandra Brought Her and Logan closer together throughout the story.  

The sexual tension builds with these two and you know they want each other but neither one wants to completely take the chance of being hurt.
                                                                                                                                                                              
"She was everything, and for the first time in my life, I knew I would never want anyone else."

Their relationship slowly starts to build and I love how it played out. I love that they did not just jump into bed with each other from the beginning. There are some ups and downs throughout but it builds to the story as well.

"This was love. Unconditional, all-consuming, mind-blowing love."

There is a Cliffhanger Dang it and I can not wait for book 2 and see where their relationship goes ,. I am sure we will get our HEA.

"Things don't always work out the way you plan, sweetheart, but I swear to you, you are everything that any smart, deserving man could ever ask for."
