From this Moment: A Love Triangle Small Town Romance

Chelsea McCormick finds herself in a major dilemma in the book From This Moment by Elena Aitken as she tries to figure out which of the two guys she is dating she prefers along with what she wants to do with her life and future. Her stay in Cedar Springs was supposed to be temporary as she sorted out the chaos of her life. When two very different men compete for her attention, Chelsea finds her beliefs challenged in ways she never thought possible. Scott Harding, the owner of the town’s newest café, loves living in a small town where he can settle down, fall in love, and start a family. Scott believes Chelsea is the woman who makes everything he wants possible. Lucas Lee, the contract manager building a multifamily development in Cedar Springs, is driven and ambitious. He sees this project as a stepping stone to more prestigious projects and exotic locations. Lucas has never before been interested in a serious relationship that is until he meets Chelsea. Chelsea believes these two men who want hr represent two very different paths; one toward her past and who she’s always been, the other her future and who she wants to be. How is she ever going to choose? I loved reading this story and enjoyed the way Ms. Aitken solved Chelsea’s dilemma. Ms. Aitken is an excellent storyteller, keeping me interested in this book so much that I had trouble putting it down. Her words and stories make me want to live in Cedar Springs and be friends with her wonderful characters. This is the fifth book in The McCormicks series, but each book is a standalone story. I am looking forward to the next book in this series and highly recommend thisI highly recommend this outstanding book to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

I love The McCormicks series by Elena Aitken! Chelsea McCormick still hasn't any idea what she is going to do after living in Cedar Springs for the last few months. Coming here after a difficult and necessary break up was to give her time to heal and to figure out what she wants out of life, but she is having the most difficult time envisioning what the future looks like. She loves being around her family and spending time with two very different men who are vying for her attention. Scott Harding moved to Cedar Springs to start his own business, to settle down and start a family and he has decided Chelsea would be a perfect part of his future plans. Lucas Lee is in Cedar Springs working on a major building development and hoping it all works out well so that his father will assign him to major assignments that are starting in Europe. Finding and falling in love with Chelsea wasn't in the plans, but just because he hadn't planned it doesn't mean that it isn't worth going after. I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.

I have so enjoyed The McCormicks of Cedar Springs series and reading about the McCormick brothers! Reading about Chelsea McCormick, their half-sister, made the series a bit…more! The author delivered a strong, enjoyable story with push and pull in Chelsea’s emotions. She has much to think about, emotionally and future-wise, that really has her living in her own head for a great deal of the book. It’s when she starts to open up to the life around her that she suddenly starts to see that she actually CAN figure out what she wants to be/do when she grows up. It’s a great place to be, when you finally figure that out for yourself. As a testament to great writing by Ms. Aitken, I had a hard time with the two men vying for her attention. I developed strong feelings about them and really did like them both; the author added much depth to both Scott and Lucas. From This Moment truly tells a heartfelt, deeply emotional story, for all the characters, that really “fits” into this series. I really liked it.
