Release Blitz: A Moment for Us: Corinne Michaels
A Moment for Us
Releasing: October 5, 2021
New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels returns to Willow Creek Valley in this stunning surprise baby/unrequited love romance.
I was totally over Joshua Parkerson.
Sure, I had a teenage crush on him way back when--and everyone knew it--but he never saw me as anything but his little brother's friend, the girl who got tongue-tied any time he walked into a room.
I had long ago accepted the fact that his strong arms would never hold me, his lush lips would never claim mine, and his blue eyes would never see me as anything more than who I used to be.
But now he's back in Willow Creek Valley, and there's a brand-new spark between us--even he can't fight it. Our chemistry is explosive, and every time we're together, I swear I can feel the earth shake.
It doesn't mean anything... how could it? I'm over him.
Now I want it all again, a life with him. But Joshua built walls around his heart for a reason, and his secrets haunt him.
How can I show him that the ghosts of his past don't have to define our new family's future?
Delia Andrews has been in love with Josh Parkerson since she was in her teens. But he was her older brother's best friend and off-limits. She is sweet, funny, loving, and longs to find her own happy ending.
But now Josh is back in Willow Creek Valley. And he is closed off and resistant to relationships. She keeps trying to get over him, but it is hard. But she is smart enough to know that Josh does not want to let himself be who she needs and deserves.
Josh is the protector of the family. He has always had an attraction for Delia as well, but he resisted then and even more so now. He sees himself as broken and without a functioning heart. He has no plans to ever entertain the idea of love because of fear of failure and hurting someone. He gives mixed signals as he is tempted then pushes her away. But when he gets a taste of her, they try to make it a non-emotional fling.
But sometimes life has other plans. Now they find themselves in a different situation and having to actually face it. Delia is determined to find out the key to his past that has locked up his heart and future. He is so tied up in guilt, fear, pain, that it is hard for him to trust. And even when hope begins to creep in, sometimes the demons like to come back and dance.
This is an emotional, passionate, angsty, hopeful, and healing, best-friend's-sister romance about letting go of the past, living in the present, and looking towards a future. I have to admit Josh drove me crazy and frustrated me at times. This guy really beat himself up and had a lot of emotional baggage. But I also really felt for him and wanted to soothe him. loved Delia and how she kept trying even when she wanted to give up. They were so good together, but had to find a reason to hope and a bridge to meet on...and then had to face challenges they never expected. It is both heartbreaking and inspiring, and brings all the feels.
I loved getting more with his siblings and their significant others and cannot wait for the final book in this series with his brother, Oliver.

Kim's 4.5 star review
At eighteen, I walked away from Willow Creek Valley for good.
I was young, scared, and stupid, and it cost me the love of my life— Grayson Parkerson.
Fourteen years later, a crash sends me back home to recover.
Back to where we met, fell in love, and planned a future.
The one he’s now living as a single dad to his daughter.
Working at The Park Inn together gives us a chance to reconnect, and seeing him with his little girl makes me long for the days when he was mine. One look in his gorgeous blue-green eyes, and it’s like I never left. One kiss, and my world is upside down. One night together, and I know without a doubt, in his arms is where I belong.
I’m not the girl I was—intimidated by his wealthy family and desperate to escape our small town. I can imagine a new life for us here.
But he’s learned to guard his heart, and trust won’t come easily.
How can I convince him to give first love a second chance?

Kim's 5 star review
New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels returns to the Willow Creek Valley Series in this stunning small town, brother's best friend romance.
Fifteen years ago, I fell for Jack O'Donnell.
I was just a girl, but I knew my brother's best friend was the only man I'd ever love.
On my eighteenth birthday, when I asked him to kiss me, I never imagined it would change my life so completely.
I gave Jack everything that night.
In order to move on, we had to go our separate ways and pretend like nothing happened... as though it wasn't the greatest moment of my life.
But even that wasn't as heartbreaking as the secret we were forced to keep.
I've tried not to think about how much I still love him. How I long to be back in his strong arms or the way his hazel eyes make my heart race.
Until he kisses me again. And this time there's no turning back. This time I know what it means.
We belong together and there's no use denying it any longer.
But our feelings aren't the only thing that won't stay buried, our past resurfaces and threatens to destroy our second chance at happiness.
When our love is tested once again, will we be strong enough to stand together?
