About this ebook

* * * A USA TODAY best-seller * * *

Being a single dad who's now loved and lost twice in his life, all Brian's currently looking for is something casual and simple for a change. Unfortunately, being the nice guy poster boy and all, he isn't exactly versed in the fine art of flings. So, he looks to the unique and outrageously button-pushing Tessa for a crash course. There's absolutely no way he's falling in love with this one...right?

Tessa has no idea why she told the ridiculously handsome man who couldn't be more wrong for her that she was some sort of fling expert. She's never been flung before and she sure as heck doesn't know how to begin flinging a guy like him. Not only does Brian have as many demons as she does, but worst of all, he's got her thinking of the one thing she stopped hoping for years ago.

...A happily ever after.

This standalone novel by Violet Duke follows the third book in the Can't Resist series and focuses on single father Brian Sullivan who lost his first wife to Huntington's disease. Brian was everything he could be to his wife Beth when she became ill and he not only stood by her side, but also cared for their young daughter Skylar, for whom he is still the sole caregiver. While Brian thought that his best friend Abby might have been the woman to heal his broken heart, that wasn't to be, but a chance meeting at his brother's wedding might be just what he needs. Tessa has been where Brian has. She had both a sister and a father that suffered from Huntington's disease and she ended up caring for them when her mother walked out on the family. Because of all she's been through, she realizes that she has to live in the moment as you never know when it may be your last, yet she doesn't want to get close to anyone else for fear she might lose them too. When Brian and Tessa cross paths, will their shared history with Huntington's be what bonds them together? And can they get past the hurt and heartbreak in their pasts and make a go of things together? This book has you feeling all kinds of emotion. Violet Duke does a great job of letting the reader into the world of Huntington's disease as well as mixing in good doses of humor. There is no doubt that the hero and heroine in this book are strong and know how to fight for what they need and want. It's a book about hope and love and one I would highly recommend.

This is my favorite of the Can't Resist Series. I like Tessa and her quirkiness. She is kind, sensitive and scared. In my opinion Finding the Right Girl is a tearjerker. There are things that are mentioned and I knew where things were going. I finished the book to see if I was correct and I was. I felt Tessa's struggles and wanting to do the right thing. Sometimes Brian overprotectiveness was too much. Yes, Skylar is young yet she understands what is going on. I get Brian is just trying to protect his daughter, I appreciated that. I liked Tessa and Brian together. Sometimes Finding the Right Girl is heavy and other times it's light hearted. I enjoyed it.

About the author

NEW YORK TIMES & USA TODAY bestselling author Violet Duke is a former professor of English Education ecstatic to be on the other side of the page now writing emotion-rich stories with fun, everyday characters and sweet, sexy match-ups. Since her debut series in 2013, over a million readers have put all four of Violet's laugh & cry contemporary romance series on bestseller lists and Top 10 charts across the major eretailers, both in the U.S. and internationally.

When she isn't feeding her book-a-day addiction, Violet enjoys doing far too many things without checking the directions first (often with outrageous power tools she has no business operating), and cooking impossible-to-replicate 'special edition' dishes that laugh in the face of recipes. She lives in Hawai'i with her kids (Violet & Duke) and Mr. Violet Duke (their ringleader), with a PJs-and-rubber-slippers work dress code she takes very seriously.
