Release Blitz + Review: "A Moment Like You" by Claudia Burgoa

I am very happy to participate in today's release blitz celebrating the publication of Claudia Burgoa's latest novel, "A Moment Like You," book #2 of the Baker's Creek Billionaire Brothers series. 

 

I am new to this series (and Ms. Burgoa's work in general), and while I wouldn't say that I felt lost by starting with the second book, I did have several questions as I read that likely would have been answered had I read the books in their intended order. This seems like the type of series that would be best read in order because the events in later books build on the ones that came before. That said, I still loved the story and highly recommend it for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. "A Moment Like You" was a fantastic introduction to Ms. Burgoa's work and served as great motivation not only to go back and read the first book of this series, but also for me to check out other titles from her backlist as soon as I find the time.

 

About "A Moment Like You"

 

USA Today Bestselling author Claudia Burgoa presents a witty, funny & heartfelt billionaire, enemies-to-lovers romance.

I hate my boss. He’s the devil in disguise—but I just can’t seem to stay away.

When my employer Henry Aldridge is set to claim a large inheritance from his deceased father, he drags me along with him—because he needs his assistant. I have no choice but to move across the country with Satan’s bastard and stay with him for over a year in order to pay for my mother’s debts.

Henry drags me to a small town where everyone knows your business and to a family that’s more broken than close. The Aldridge brothers are handsome, arrogant, and sinful.

They’re also too much to handle.

Henry’s dad lost his mind before he died, and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I don’t know how I’ll survive for eighteen months with this man.

Except you should never judge a book by its cover. And Henry Aldridge has more hiding beneath the surface than I ever thought possible...

The Baker’s Creek Billionaire Brothers series is a romantic comedy saga packed with the perfect mix of angst, tears, and laughs. If you like strong heroines & alpha males, steamy romances and witty love stories, this series is for you!

 

 

My Review

I completely adored Claudia Burgoa's "A Moment Like You." Main characters Henry and Sophia were both incredibly likeable and well-developed, and it was easy for me to root for them to overcome all of the obstacles keeping them apart. 

When the book began, it seemed like it was going to be a fairly straightforward enemies-to-lovers romance, but Henry and Sophia's relationship turned out to be so much more complex than that. They had both been hiding feelings for each other for some time, but didn't act on them for a number of valid reasons. Things finally started to change between them when Henry forced Sophia to move to Baker's Creek with him. As Henry began to open up to his brothers and work through some of his childhood trauma, he also opened up to Sophia, who started to see that there was more to him than the arrogant workaholic she had come to know so well.

The growth of Henry's relationship with his brothers was another highlight of this book. They seemed to grow so much closer over the course of the story and even started to treat each other as friends in a lot of ways. They were certainly more supportive of each other by the end, and I loved that they were comfortable enough to tease each other (lovingly, of course!).

Overall, "A Moment Like You" was a sweet, funny, and touching story that I highly recommend for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. It was the first book I've ever read by Claudia Burgoa, but it certainly won't be the last. I look forward to the next book in this series!
