Check out this book on Goodreads: There's Always Someday
The story of Clea ,Nolan, and Tally is so heartwarming.
Clea has practically had a hand in raising Tally since she's been a baby. She has been waiting six years for Nolan to give her the time of day. Thinking he was still hung up on Tally's mom who passed.
She finally reached her limit and said I'm not waiting any longer for Nolan who has been emotionally unavailable to her the six years they've known each other on that dark rainy day when he moved in next door.
This provided him the wake up call he needed. He got his act together and started to pursue her.
Clea wasn't going take it easy on him. He had hurt her enough times. That she wasn't going to allow herself to just jump when he said how high.
I loved that she made him grovel and prove himself to her. Showing he actually meant his promises to her.
This was a wonderful book. I loved Tally and the relationship that Clea and her had. Clea had always been the mother figure to her since they'd been neighbors since she was 9 months old.
Tally's mother was no longer in the picture so it was more Clea raising her than even her dad. He checked out emotionally leaving Clea be the one in charge.
They had layers in their relationship. However, the beautiful part of the story was it had to have the messiness of their relationship dynamic to make it even more beautiful at their HEA.
Would recommend for anyone who loves romance and a HEA.
