Roll of a Lifetime

Written by Melanie Greene

Narrated by Amy Rubinate

Things Rachel Groff needs: her daughter out of diapers, the back child support she’s owed, freedom from her devious, dirtbag ex-husband. 

Rachel has inched her way towards financial security over three years of solo parenting. Clinging to her hard-won independence, she is on guard against the type of man who deceived her in the past. Men like the too-hot and too-charming divorced dad who claims to be nothing like her ex.  

Things Theo Melis loves: kayaking along the bayou, baking pies, being with his son.

His big gamble has paid off: his brewpub is in the black and garnering great reviews. Now Theo’s focused on earning a favorable rating from his manager’s ex-wife. He’s taken with her strength and ferocity of purpose, and proud when she allows him to help her escape the stresses of life. But one moment Rachel melts into him; the next, she jerks away, leaving him overheated and confused. 

Theo longs to earn Rachel’s trust. Rachel’s heart yearns for him, but her instincts have devastated her before. Every step they take could be a disastrous misstep. If they move in unison, can they discover a path worth taking?

Reviews for Roll of a Lifetime

[madlibrarian · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Single mom Rachel has enough on her plate with raising her daughter and dealing with her less than good parent husband and his interfering mother. Single dad Theo is busy running his business and long-distance dadding. Neither was looking for a relationship but then it happened. Can Rachel see past the similarities between Theo and her ex to appreciate the differences?I really enjoyed this sweet romance. Rachel comes with a lot of baggage but has a strength of character that allows her to face adversity. Theo's life has been far less drama-free and he is a rock, a great guy that any woman would love to have in her life. You will be rooting for them, cheering when Rachel confronts a teenage nemesis, comes to terms with her parents' favouritism towards her sister and accepts that Theo is the real thing.
