I'm in love with someone else.

With her fiancé's words ringing in her ears, Claire left her wedding dress in a pile on the floor and took off on her would-be Caribbean honeymoon alone. Clearly, not everyone gets a happily ever after.

Veterinarian Deacon Montgomery isn't looking to share another more this conference than his surgical expertise. His instant attraction to Clare makes him wonder if he could be more than just a single father doctor.

After a week of sun-filled days and hot, tender nights, the wall around Clare's heart begins to crumble. But one phone call from home changes everything.

I’ve heard lots of great things about this book and as soon as I read the blurb I knew I had to read it.
I loved the first 50% or so and after that it was just a bit meh for me. While I still very much enjoyed the book I just didn’t get into second half as much as I wanted to.
I loved seeing Deacon with his girls (love single dads 😍) so sweet.
I still highly recommend this to everyone who loves single dad romance books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful story where the hero and heroine are very deserving of their HEA
Reviewed in Australia on 25 April 2018
Jilted bride Clare Franklin decides to still go on her honeymoon anyway. Luckily, she's not at the stage where she thinks all men are jerks because meeting veterinarian Deacon Montgomery is a good way to help her move on from her ex-fiancé and his words of 'I'm in love with someone else.' However, when she returns home and soon learns that she's pregnant, she knows she needs to tell Deacon. Will Deacon be happy when discovers her surprise or will they lose their shot at happy ever after?

Ms. Connor delivers a fantastic read in this book and I loved how it started because the heroine is so brave when it comes to what happens and then going on her honeymoon on her own. However, it was from the moment the hero and heroine come face-to-face for the first time that I loved because there's instant chemistry between them and Deacon is such a good listener. In fact, Clare is quite lucky to meet Deacon when she does to show her that not all men are jerks since she's been so unlucky in love.

As for the dialogue, it was intense due to the main characters backs stories, but I liked the obstacles these two faced on their journey to happy ever after including whether Clare will ever be able to give Deacon a chance, especially when she's so wary of falling for another man and having her heart broken again. Will Deacon be able to prove to Clare that he wants her forever? Furthermore, both the main characters were wonderful and I loved their growing relationship because Deacon is good for Clare. He's a good dad, smart, hard-working and I loved how determined he was to win the heroine over, even though that doesn't seem easy at times, especially when she learns something about his past that he was afraid to tell her.

While the heroine, she's strong, brave and I liked that she gave the hero a chance, even though she has every right to be worried that another relationship may end in heartbreak. I also liked how good of a mother she is, despite the fact that it isn't easy being a first-time mom. Luckily though, she has great support in two of the secondary characters that would do anything for her. Yet, what I liked most of all about the heroine was how she fit in with Deacon's family. Although, his sister can be a bit much and doesn't know how to mind her own business when it comes to pushing Deacon on his relationship with Clare.

Overall, Ms. Connor has delivered a really good read in this book where the chemistry between Deacon and Clare was powerful; the romance delightful; and the ending had me cheering for this couple's happy ever after, as Clare finally realizes what she wants and what she wants is a future with Deacon and their children. I would recommend Love at Last by Claudia Connor, if you enjoy the surprise pregnancy trope, the second chance romance trope, or books by authors Devney Perry, Kristen Proby, Natasha Madison and Mia Sheridan.

What else can you do at the end of a Claudia Connor book but sigh! This one was no different. It left me feeling warm and cozy and wanting more. I sincerely hope this won't be the end of these characters and their families.

Clare was supposed to be on her honeymoon. Instead of being with the man she thought she was going to spend her life with, she was alone, sitting on the beach, watching the waves roll in as she contemplated her situation. She'd thought Adam was the one for her. Right up until the time he dumped her, calling her at the church, her in her wedding gown waiting for a groom who isn't coming.

Deacon was on vacation, a working vacation. Technically, he was there for a veterinarian conference but his down time was his own. It was the first time he'd been away from his twin girls, Margo and Maci, since they'd been born. It's on the beach that he meets Clare. They strike up a conversation, find they enjoy each other's company and Deacon invites her to dinner. He and Clare really hit it off so they end up spending their remaining time together with Deacon extending his stay.

This is why Clare is surprised when Deacon fails to show up for breakfast one morning. Thinking he's maybe overslept, she waits awhile. When he still fails to make an appearance, she asks after him at the front desk of the hotel only to learn he checked out. He left no message, no way for her to reach him. Feeling totally used and humiliated, there's nothing Clare can do but go home and try to forget about him. Not so easy to do when a few weeks later she discovers she's pregnant.

Deacon, in the meantime, is frantically trying to find Clare. He'd had to leave the hotel in a hurry after receiving a call from his mother. One of his twins had a ruptured appendix and was in surgery. As he was checking out, Deacon had hastily scribbled a note to Clare on the back of a map, asking the desk clerk to see Clare got his message. When she doesn't call, Deacon isn't sure what to think. He was positive she had feelings for him. What if she never got his message and thinks he ran out on her? He hires a private investigator to try and track her down.

This one just grabs your heart and won't let go. Babies and toddlers and a hot veterinarian . . . what more can you ask for? Oh, and I really liked Clare from the get go. In spite of getting dumped, she didn't let it get her down and she wasn't afraid to try again with Deacon. In comparison, Clare realizes her feelings for Deacon mean so much more, and are far greater than any feelings she had for her fiance. In addition, she's a wonderful mother and adores Deacon's girls. It was easy to picture them all together for a very long time. As I said, "Sigh!". This is one i highly recommend !

Love At Last by Claudia Connor really is a very sweet and beautiful love story. Plus it has a single dad storyline, one of my favourite storylines to read. And the single dad, Deacon, is hot, sweet and such a great Dad to his twin girls.

Although Clare is shocked to have her fiancée break up with her on their wedding day, she decides to still go by herself on what was supposed to be her honeymoon. Luckily for her, this is where she meets Deacon. They both are incredibly attracted to each other, and start thinking that maybe there could be more to this relationship than just a holiday fling............BUT what happens when an unexpected situation arises?? I enjoyed reading this book, and for me it was quite low on the angst factor.

A very enjoyable contemporary romance that had me despairing at lost chances, then cheering and laughing at the same time!

Claire Franklin is all ready for her big day, waiting for the music to start. She gets a phone call from her fiancé Adam, and next thing she knows she’s on a honeymoon flight to the Dominican Republic for their honeymoon, alone. On her way to a solitary dinner she literally bumps into a handsome stranger, and has a wardrobe malfunction that won’t let them go! They share dinner, and decide to enjoy the beauty of the resort together while they can.

Dr. Deacon Montgomery is at the resort for a week long veterinary conference where he is giving a lecture. It’s the first time away from his 2 1/2 year old twins and responsibility at home. The mother of the twins left when they were infants, but thanks to his family they have grown and blossomed. Claire and Deacon form an instant attraction that shocked Claire. Was she really in love with Adam (her ex) or was she just settling? Deacon decides to stay past the convention and an island romance flourishes. All they know about each other is names, and they can’t fight the sexual attraction.

When Deacon doesn’t show for a planned excursion, she is immediately worried, but then finds out he left in the middle of the night. She didn’t know Deacon had received an emergency call from his parents, one of the twins, Maci had a ruptured appendix and was having immediate surgery. He was so agitated he realized he left without even knowing Claire’s last name. All she knew was she had been left .........again

A new job, and a new place in Chicago keeps her too busy to realize how much she misses Deacon. But suddenly a very unexpected gift from their romantic week throws her life into chaos. She even hires a PI to find him. Meanwhile Adam contacts her to let her know he is marrying the woman he was cheating on her with.

The anticipation of them finally finding each other kept me reading as fast as I could. Deacon can’t forget her, and Claire, even as her life is exploding around her, misses him terribly.

I love all of Ms. Connor’s stories, but this is a special one. It can be read as a stand-alone.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to review this wonderful story.

Great book.
One of my favorite authors.
Deacon and Clare.
Two people who literally run into each other on a tropical getaway. Strangers who immediately feel drawn to each other. A couple of great days (and nights) together, keeping their real worlds out of bounds for their short time together. No personal questions, no real life stories, no exchanges of contact information. Just relaxation, sun and fun.
After being left at the alter by her fiancé, (the latest in a long line of losers) Clare decides to take advantage of their prepaid honeymoon. Never expecting to almost immediately meet someone new. Hoping for more, but knowing it’s just not in the cards for her, she’s resigned herself to living in the moment. Her internal mantra is “easy to love, easy to leave”.
Deacon is on the island for a veterinarian conference. Determined to only stay as long as he needs to be there. Anxious to get home to his girls. But decides after meeting Clare, that maybe a few extra days just for him might not be such a bad thing. Until one call from home sends him running home and leaving Clare behind.
But sometimes not everything done on vacation, stays on vacation. Sometimes it follows you home. Invading your real world.
I loved the story. Deacon and Clare were great characters. Struggling to do the right thing, while trying to rebuild what they had on vacation. It’s not easy, there are trust issues, and self worth issues. It’s not an easy road. Lots of emotional ups and downs.
They do eventually get there.
Quick, easy read. A complete standalone with a happy ending.
