Trusting Liam

March 30, 2015
This far-fetched sequel to Taking Chances begins with one night of anonymous Las Vegas sex between Liam Taylor and the woman he calls Moon, but unfortunately it doesn’t end there. In a ridiculously improbable second encounter a year later, Liam not only reunites with Moon—whose real name is Kennedy—but is obligated to spend time with her. Kennedy and her twin sister are being threatened by thugs in their Florida hometown, so they travel to stay with their uncle in California. Lo and behold, Liam works for their uncle and is awarded the task of “babysitting” the frightened young women. As McAdams continues pushing coincidence just one or two degrees beyond the believability point, everything falls too neatly into place for Liam and Kennedy. This one is strictly for McAdams’s die-hard fans, and even they might struggle to suspend their disbelief.

The latest novel in best-selling McAdams' NA Taking Chances series (Stealing Harper, 2013) is yet another emotional juggernaut. McAdams fans will not be at all disappointed that this installment, full of heartbreak, tears, and laughter, tells the story of Kennedy Ryan and Liam Taylor, the now grown-up children of the couples from her previous novels. When Kennedy is forced to move to California with her twin sister owing to haunting incidents in her family's past, she is not happythey don't know anyone and are bored senseless. Meanwhile, Liam Taylor somehow gets talked into showing his boss' nieces around. The apathy he feels about his new, glorified babysitting job with young women he assumes are strangers changes the instant he sees Kennedy, the girl who got away. Liam and Kennedy shared a night of passion a year before, but they both thought they would never see each other again. Liam works to gain Kennedy's trust, but a secret threatens to tear down their new relationship. Emotional and sexy, Trusting Liam promises to be another hit with McAdams fans.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
