Book Review - CROSS MY HEART by Avery Maxwell


Cross My Heart


One chance encounter broke me; another could set me free.

The moment I meet the incredibly sexy Dexter Cross, I know I'm in trouble. His intensity is electric, and I express a sass I thought was long extinguished. It's a shock to my system and seems to put Dexter on edge, which I like.

Teasing him appears to be my new favorite pastime.

Accepting the nanny position for Dexter's three children will be my fresh start in life, but the closer I get to Dexter and his children, the harder I know it will be to leave. I'm only meant to stay for a year, but all too quickly, Dexter becomes determined to break down my walls. He went from Alpha-Male to Alpha-Prince-Charming, and I don't know if I'm strong enough to resist.

Dexter thinks I can choose them and stay, but I know better. He doesn't understand my kind of damaged. My scars run deep, but so does Dexter's determination. He has his eyes and heart set on me. Even our friends are joining in on this battle, a crazy bunch of misfits who cause chaos at every turn.

It's me against them, I'm just not sure who will break first.

If you liked Nicole Snow's Man Enough, then you'll love Cross My Heart.

4.5 Stars

This is a debut novel for Ms Maxwell and I gotta say, she has me hooked. I know I will be watching for what comes next. Though we cover some serious issues with loss and abandonment, verbal abuse and neglect, the story is full of fun light and airy too. My emotions ranged all around throughout this book but the most evident was the giggles.

Dexter is at his wits end, running his company while being the single father to a young boy and baby twins. His wife just up and left him to look after everything. He has a wonderful support system of friends and family to help him through but he really needs a nanny to help with the day to day. His assistant lines up yet another interview. He was not ready for the storm that is Lanie.

Lanie has decided she need to move on. The recovery from her horrible night has not been an easy one. She is so thankful for her best friend and her parents who have always been there for her. Thinking she is playing it safe she decided to move closer to their summer home and find work. A fresh start. When she walking in to her interview for the nanny position, it is a disaster. She rolls in like a storm and gets it all smoothed out, then worries that she might have overstepped.

The draw between Dexter and Lanie is evident from the very beginning. Great chemistry and loads of tension. Will Dexter be willing to take the next step? Can he convince Lanie that she is absolutely loveable and worth the risk? Will the MLM and the help of his friends make it work?

Looking forward to more from this new author.
