What Tears Us Down: A Single Dad Standalone Romance Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 242 ratings

Rhett Senova could charm a woman out of her panties and in the next breath, thank her mother for dinner.

Smooth doesn’t even begin to cover his moves. But the hottest playboy in Arrow Creek wasn’t always this way.

He had dreams of a one-woman future, and the cry of his firstborn brought him to tears.

He never thought his wife would cheat on him with her boss.

Each day is a feud over the dream home he had built for his ex and learning to raise his young son without the jaded lens now coloring his world.

Starting over in his thirties isn’t on his agenda. Not now that he’s raised impenetrable walls. His ex left the sour taste of infidelity in his mouth, and he’s not sure he can trust anyone new.

That is until he meets a vision passing through town and nearly gets mauled by her she-demon dog.

Her sassy wit makes other women seem inadequate, along with those luscious curves and burgundy curls.

The fact she hides beneath her tough exterior that she might be in trouble sends up red flags he’d be smart not to ignore.

Using his charm to win over the pit bull is the easy part. The question is whether he wants to win over the guarded redhead too.

**What Tears Us Down is a complete stand-alone in an interconnected series and can be enjoyed without reading the other books. Each book features its own couple in the small town of Arrow Creek.**

    Evie, a self-employed house cleaner, is running from a bad breakup and encounters Rhett, owner of a pest extermination business, in a truck stop parking lot when she stops in Arrow Creek for the night. As the story progresses running from the present sidelines them, sharing their past makes life a little more bearable, and overcoming the roadblocks they face may not guarantee that they will continue together. A.M. Wilson dropped a few bombs in this engaging small town romance that centers around group of friends finding their perfect match. Be prepared to laugh, jeer, and cry at the antics and actions of the characters as the author has put into What Tears Us Down. I can’t wait for Dane’s book after reading this one.

    I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

    Another enjoyable read by A.M. Wilson. Rhett and Evie are both getting over failed relationships and having a hard time with it. They meet in a truck stop parking lot and from there things get interesting. Rhett has gotten the reputation since as a playboy. Going through women like water. Becoming a person so different than what he used to be. When he meets Evie, he realizes how different she is from the other women he has met. He finds himself wanting to spend time with her and get to know her. He knows she is running from something, and he wants to help. Evie wants to do things on her own and she is unwilling to take anything from anyone. After her parents died her brother raised her and she has never been on her own. She wants to prove that she can take care of herself. Her current living arrangements show otherwise but she has a plan, and she will see it through.
    A special friendship develops between Evie and Rhett. Nights spent eating takeout under the stars in their cars. A connection develops when they weren’t expecting it. Their story is a love story neither one was looking for but somehow found. Once you start their journey you cannot wait to see what happens next and therefore unable to put it down.

    I feel like the theme song for this books hould be the Brittney Spears song "Stronger." Evie and Rhett are made of tough stuff and they are put to the test.

    Their lifestyle while not ideal is definitely worth it. They found everything they needed in a parking lot.

    Seems Arrow Creek has things/people for all.

    I was so excited to be back in Arrow Creek and reading Rhett’s story. I am a huge fan of AM Wilson’s books and once again she did not disappoint.

    Rhett was the guy who has been with his wife for more than 10 years, loves his son more than anything completely loyal. Until his wife cheating on hi with her boss. For the past year he has been taking care of his sone and become a bit of a player/. He wants nothing more than one-night stands. After what his wife has put him through and continuing to do he is done with trusting woman ad falling in love. Until he meets Evie, the girl who changes everything.

    Evie is new to town and has her own baggage. Her current living situation is not ideal at all, but it’s only temporary until she gets back on her feet. She is feisty, sassy and certainly independent. She meets Rhett one night and is not really sure what to make of this stranger who is trying to help her. She too has trust issues, and when she quickly learns of his player status she isn’t sure if he truly wants to help her and het her in bed. Rhett is. Vey protective person and when it comes to Evie he has this overwhelming feeling and need to protect her. He is not exactly sure why at first, but he knows that not only is he interested in spending more time with her, he also wants to keep her safe.

    Despite how Rhett has lived his life since his wife cheated, he truly is an amazing man. He is loyal caring, sweet, sexy and loves his son. His need to protect Evie melted my heart. They had more in common with their current situation and with the trust issues it wasn’t easy to open up. But as the two of them spent more and more time together they were able to peel back each other’s layers. Evie was this stg and feisty woman who I loved!!! She was in a tough spot, moving to a small town by herself, not knowing anyone. And yet she never gave up.

    Rhett and Evie together will melt your heart. Their relationship was not always unicorns and rainbows, but they has a wonderful connection, funny banter between them and I also think in a way a mutual respect for each other. Rhett genuinely cared and wanted to keep her safe. They were perfect together.

    This truly was a beautiful story. Ms. Wilson has once again captured me from start to finish. This book will melt your heart, and also break it. You will laugh, cry and fall in love with Rhett and Evie. It was one of those books that I devoured and was sad when it was all over. Loved it!!

    Reviewed in Australia on July 12, 2024
    This was my first time reading this author and I absolutely Loved this book. Sweet, sassy and sexy to boot, loved the banter between the two main characters. Even though it's book 3 in the Arrow Creek series, it can be read as a standalone but it kind of leaves you on a bit cliff hanger... I will have to read the whole series now!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great book
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 20, 2021
    I loved Rhett and Evie’s story. It really pulled at the heartstrings. These two characters weren’t looking for a relationship. They were both just trying to get their lives back on track. Things weren’t all sunshine and roses, but I so want these two to have a HEA.

    I saw a quote a while ago, and when I read this story it came to mind.

    𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥…

    Thoroughly enjoyed this book and so need to do re-read of this series.
