4.0

This was the first time I had read a book by this author.
The story follows Blake who at the beginning of the book finds out that he has fathered a child and he starts the journey to find his child and his mother. The other string of the story follows Delaney who is caring for her cousin's son and goes to Glebe Point to try and find out more about him.
They meet at the local annual fancy costume dance and sparks fly, although Blake has no idea who she is. It is not long after that Black discovers that the "leopard" he met at the dance is Delaney and after a night together caused by a road incident she flees back to New York having uncovered nothing sinister about him. Blake has been left unsure of what happened between them to prompt her quick exit without telling him but it is not long before she is back to tell him the real reason she came to Glebe Point.
Blake meanwhile finds out that his son is alive and well and a PI comes to his home at the same time as Delaney is there waiting to reveal her secret. As the PI reveals his findings it becomes clear to Blake that Delaney has not been truthful with him, in fact he is certain that she used his for her own enjoyment. For Delaney her life has been
upturned and her dreams of a happy future are in tatters.
As the book moves to its conclusion, will Blake and Delaney be forever lost to each other or will they find the happiness they both deserve. This is the first book in a series and Book 2 follows the life of Blake's brother Justin who appears in this book.
I would give this book 4 stars - an easy romantic read and one those who like a romantic read where the main male character is such a likeable guy. I read this one within 24 hours,
