Trick: A Single Parent, Second Chance Romance Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author comes a heartfelt second-chance romance featuring a swoon-worthy man, a single-mom, and an adorably cute little girl.

I loved this one by Laramie Briscoe. Action packed and a strong damsel in distress. This was a page turner and had such a great sigh-worthy ending. Definitely recommend! - USA Today bestselling author Susan Stoker

A forced sentence leads to a reckless passion…

Hadley

When my husband walked out on me over a year ago, it devastated me. When the divorce papers came, it killed me. When we had to sell our house, it broke me.

But then he moved in with his new flavor of the month and told our daughter his new woman wasn’t into children. That pissed me off.

Now Riley feels abandoned, and I can’t make it better; no matter how hard I try. I’m desperate to help her adjust to the loss of a male figure in her life. The companion program that matches adults up with children who have loneliness and abandonment issues is my last hope.

The counselors tell me he’s doing community service hours, and I ask to sit in on his meetings with Riley. The minute I see him astride the matte black Harley, I know neither my nor Riley’s life will ever be the same again.

Trick

Community Service. Two words I should be thankful for, but I’m not. I resent the hours it’s away from building my business. The two previous kids I'd been paired up with didn’t work out because their mothers were more interested in getting in my bed. This next match with a little girl is my last hope. Unless this kid works out, I’m destined to serve time.

When they push her into the room wearing pink converse with a black dress, her crazy curls barely held back by the barrette in her hair, and studious glasses on her face, I can tell she’s scared - of new people, of change, of being pushed aside. Something inside of me breaks, and I want this girl to feel wanted again.

What I’m unprepared for is meeting her mom. The second our hands touch, there are fireworks, bright lights, and a picture of the future I could one day have. The future I’ve never allowed myself to wish for.

Community service becomes more than a chore, more than time I resent for being taken away from me. In the months that follow, I realize they’re just like me: they’ve been abandoned, left behind by the world, forgotten by those who should love them.

Thanks to the one last hope in both our lives - we found the light in the darkness we’d been searching for.

This book should come with a warning! Gorgeous, tatted man will cause your ovaries to explode. Seriously, Trick was one of the hottest Heroes I've read in a long time and I already want to re-read this book just to get more of him. - Escape To Reading

This was an exceptional read ... the characters were amazing. - Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets

I absolutely LOVED the three main characters in this book. Trick, Hadley and Riley meshed so well together and just felt real. I feel like I'm gushing, but I can't help it. This just worked so well for me and was exactly what I needed at the moment. - I Fall In Love Book Blog

Trick will steal your heart but the true show stopper is Riley - she will take your heart and never give it back. - Bhounsell

It will grab you from the first word and keep you in tune with the characters and all that is happening in this journey you are about to take with this author! you will laugh and cry and TRICK will make your panties melt and set your kindle on a path to total desire!!! - Elsie Pitt

“I’m free. For the first time in a long time. I’m free.” We both are, and no one can take that away."- Hadley

What an absolutely enjoyable and engrossing book!!! This is my first book from this author and I was delighted to read this lovely story, that's somewhat gritty with a meaingful sexually erotic flavor. The main characters are very well developed and written so well you cannot help yourself from rooting for their happiness, their peace of mind ther redemption...most of all their freedom from the chains of past mistakes and abusive treatment by others.
Trick, the male protagonist is every woman's bad boy fantasy...beautiful face, beautiful body close-croped blonde hair, tatoos and ooooo...intense green eyes...reeking of sex appeal! Hadley is a beautiful woman who has her priorities straight, her beautiful little girl. Their chemistry is literally electric...explosive. Trick has been a rebellious ex-convict trying to start over as a changed man. Hadley and her little girl are survivors of emotional abuse from Hadley's ex-spouse. Hadley and her little girl are both trying to shake-off the damage from the abuse.
This story is about the healing possibilities of love. As you read further along, in a way, it is also about someone who is rich and powerful but emotionally and morally bankrupt challenging a man who is noble at heart but overcoming the pitfalls of the circumstances in which he found himself..best of all giving of himself and what is asked of his genuine love...time and attention.
This was a gorgeous read. It is well written...beautiful...excitingly erotic...and inspiring in it message. It is a book that will make you feel as free as the characters feel when they find their freedom. This should be one of your one-click purchases for inspiration, enjoyment...and well...let's just face it...this is one hot sexy read.
I received an ARC for this lovely book. It was my honor to voluntarily review this wonderful book. My thoughts are my own. Coming from my heart and mind. "ubi caritas"

Beautiful story of redemption

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2017

Trick meets Hadley and her daughter Riley during his time doing community service. He knows he screwed up but he is paying his debt to society.
Hadley and Riley have been abandoned by Philip, Riley's father and because of that they both have serious issues.

This is a story of taking chances and learning how to overcome your past.

I loved that even though Hadley was tough and independent she was not pigheaded and stubborn. She was willing to concede some of her independence so that Trick could make headway into her heart.

Trick was guarded but he really felt an instant connection with Riley. Her mother was hot, so hanging out with Riley wasn't going to be a complete hardship. Trick found himself feeling for the first time ever and Hadley found she wanted a man even though she doesn't need one.

There is chemistry from their first meeting and it is a slow burn that explodes when it finally ignites.

There was some repetition of phrases and the constant self doubt on both sides did get kinda annoying. There were a few editing errors thankfully not enough to distract from the story but enough to make me have reread a sentence to make it make sense. Otherwise I would have given this 4.5 stars.

Very enjoyable read. I would recommend to anyone who liked reformed bad boys and single mom stories.

I loved the description of this story

I loved the description of this story. It has that pull to it that make you wonder what your going to get into. This isn't my first book by this author and I feel that the writing just gets better and better.

I really liked Hadley. She had so much love for her daughter and that paired with working her butt off and doing everything she could to make her daughters life good, that made me love her. As a mother myself I was able to connect with her on a deeper level.

Trick didn't want his past to define him and worked so hard to make something better of him self and on top of that, he was YUMMY! Besides his looks and demeanor, he really was a good guy.

Riley had a big role in this books and I loved her! She is such a sweetheart, and she is the same age as my oldest and she reminded me of them once she opened up. My heart broke for her and what she had to go through, but Trick made it all better even if it wasn't an easy road.

How to describe the plot with out ruining it for others...... I'm not sure. It was beautiful and heartbreaking. We learn more about him in the first half then we do her. The ending was super cute and I couldn't wipe the smile off my face.

One thing I didn't like was how some things were redundant. It felt like they kept repeating them selves on certain things.

Overall, I really enjoyed this story. The plot was different and we get a man with a child. That's one of my weakness! I loved the duel POV and getting to see and feel both main characters internal struggle. I was sad at the lack of secondary characters though. 4.5 stars #2OCCJD

PRINCESS

Every Once in a While....

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2023

Verified Purchase

Every once in a while, you find something that changes your way of thinking. This book did that for me. When I was 19, I met a man who I truly believed was "Prince Charming." Sadly, he turned out to be a "Monster in a Prince Suit." I escaped with my 2 kids and it took me years of working 2 jobs to support myself and my children, a lot of therapy and the love of my "Trick" to recover. Hadley and I are very much alike, and I completely related to her struggles as a single mother. Trick is the whole package! I found his character to be so totally relatable as a person! Both of them are wonderful together. Riley is a complete treat, and she will absolutely grab you right in the "Feels!" This is my first experience with Laramie Briscoe as an author, and I absolutely will be reading any and all of this authors books! Check this book out!
You'll thank me later!

The Best Book Laramie's written so far!

Reviewed in Canada on May 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

Wow. I think this is my favourite book of Laramie's so far. Hadley and Trick are such enduring and believable characters. The story sucks you in and won't let go until the end. If you read Laramie's other series, this book is a different feel. Because its a stand alone, there are fewer plot points and secondary characters, which means that you get a better feel and understanding for those in it. I loved this book, and I would recommend it to anyone!!

Sizzling and sensitive page turner

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

I've been a fan of Laramie's writing since the Heaven Hill series. Well written, with some subjects not often handled in romance novels, there wasn't much not to like to be honest so I was excited when Trick was announced.
The story is everything it promised to be - and more besides. Trick is an ex convict determined to stay on the right side of the tracks by becoming a mentor to a little girl abandoned by her own father. The girl's mother, Hadley, is determined to pick herself up after her marital breakdown and be everything her daughter needs. Trick has to work hard to build up trust with the skeptical mother and the heartbroken little girl, but with honesty, humour and more than a bit of charm, he starts to break through their defenses.
When reading this book, we see a real relationship starting to develop, made all the poignant because of the adults' understanding that a little girl's already fragile heart is involved.
This book is a true sizzling page turner and one I literally couldn't stop reading. Laramie has totally outdone herself with this! Beautiful writing about people with real feelings. Well done!

Loved this book by Laramie Briscoe. It was a super sweet story and I just adored Trick. He was a young man who got into trouble but was smart enough to realise he wanted to make amends and lead his life on the straight and narrow. Enter Hadley and her little girl Ridley who was left as a single Mom finding life very tough. The story flowed beautifully telling the story of how each of the characters actually helped each other through the difficulties of getting through everyday life. I was rooting the whole way through the book that things would work out well for this family. Wasn’t disappointed in this feel good story. I will be waiting with interest in what Laramie Briscoe is bringing out next. You certainly won’t be disappointed in purchasing this book. Well worth a read.

Absolutely loved this book. Loved the way it was written and the characters created. I'm a sucker for a love story but loved how open and honest this love story was. There was no charade and drawn out back and forth like so many other romance novels. Very few other characters other than the main 3 so it was just a straight up fantastic fuzzy feels romance.
