.... The Blurb ...
Her
CARTER
My best friend died tonight and her baby girl might be taken away from me, too, if I don’t find Lily’s father before she’s ripped out of my life for good.
Unfortunately, I know who he is. He’s my best friend’s ex, and I hate him in memory and on sight.
I love this baby, but I don’t love him. Even if he does whatever it takes to make me trust him, and it seems he’s determined to do exactly that.
There’s just so little of my heart left, and I can’t—won’t—reserve any of it for that bastard, Lachlan Hayes.
Him
LOCKE
I didn't grow into adulthood as a screw-up, but turns out I'm settling into it just fine.
A pro-football prodigy, success was laid out in golden dollar signs—until an injury so cringe-worthy it went viral laid me out for good.
Since then, I’ve discovered booze and sex, and I get both whenever I want.
Until a girl shows up at my literal doorstep, telling me about a baby I never knew I had.
As she looks at me with tears her eyes, I have a sick feeling my world is about to spin out again.
I’m in deep sh*t, because in no life plan did I think I’d raise a daughter, and I sure as hell didn’t think I’d fall in love with the woman that comes with her.

Roller coaster. Count that as my warning that before you read this book you must be prepared to go on an emotional rollercoaster. Trusting You had me feeling every emotion from tears in my eyes to full on laughter. Not only is the story line one which will tug at your heart strings the characters alike will do the same.
Carter is a caring, loyal and loving character who wears her heart on her sleeve, or on the little girls, Lily. She enters the book and Locke's world with a bang and I straight away loved her character. It's one of the many hilarious scenes which I am giggling about as I write this review.
Locke is a bit more of a closed book than Carter but is just as caring and hilarious. You can guess when you put these two together there are fireworks, of many types! I just couldn't get enough of these two. I absolutely loved Locke and I wish there was more people like him in the world willing to change.
The storyline is one full of sorrow but also happiness and the up and down of these emotions kept me engaged throughout.
I really enjoyed Trusting You and can not wait to get to know a few characters from this book in their own books. Ketley has started the series off with an emotional but funny start.

'"No matter what comes next, I have my girl. I get to raise her, be there for her, yell at her, discipline her, chase boys out of her window. I have Carter to thank for that."'
