My Review
5 Stars
BEFORE HIM by Donna Alam is the story of Kennedy and Roman Phillips.  At the start of this book we have Kennedy who is a college student going with her friends to Las Vegas to celebrate their friend April whose was having a 21 birthday.  There the meet some guys from Australia.  Kennedy hits it off with one of the guys and they end up having a wonderful night where they marry.  But Roman wakes up to an emergency call and has to leave.  Then there is a misunderstanding and Kennedy feels betrayed.  Now about 8 years later in their present day.....Kennedy is a single mother to Wilder.  Roman has been looking for Kennedy and he ends up finding her but Kennedy isn't so trusting of him.  So he has his work cut out for him to earn her trust back and to get to know his son.  Enjoyed their story.  FYI: Kennedy is the sister to Holland whose story was in 'NO ORDINARY GENTLEMAN'.  I have read that book which did add to my enjoyment of this one but I did think you could make it a standalone book if you wanted to.
