Falling for You (Searching for Love, Book One)

This is Book 1 of 4 in the Searching for Love romance series. The series is complete. This book was originally published under Christine Kersey's pen name of Noelle Stevens. WARNING: If you don't like to get caught up in a story that leads you to buy the next book, don't start reading Brody and Reese's story. This book ends on a cliffhanger. Newly divorced and deeply wounded, all Reese Montgomery wants is to find true love. After her ex-husband tells her she no longer measures up and then unceremoniously dumps her, she realizes her background--a father in prison, an alcoholic mother--makes her undesirable. When she meets Brody Ford on a beach in Malibu, her attraction is instant, as is her certainty that they are all wrong for each other. Brody, a self-made man from a close-knit family, is lonely. After losing the woman he loves in a car accident, he believes he'll never love again. When a chance encounter brings Reese into his life, something about her touches him. And he wants more. But her reluctance to open her heart forces him to work harder to win her over than he's ever had to work before. Will they be able to heal the hurts each carries, or are they too wounded to find the love they're searching for?"
