The relationship between the two characters felt awkward and forced. It just felt too quick, random and just odd. It did not feel like they had a history. I did not like them much sadly.

Childhood friends Matt and Sierra have not seen each other for years but when her car gets stolen Matt is the policeman who answers the call to investigate. Loved these real characters who are caring around so much baggage but getting to know each other again is just what they both needed. Really great story!

Thank you NetGalley for the digital ARC. I enjoyed this book as well as the story line. Coming from a woman who was left, had to watch her husband have a child with someone else and then find love again- this book spoke volumes to me and thank you to the writer. Loved it.

I read this book pretty quickly. Sierra has ran into Matt her long lost friend from high school. Boy does he get a blast from the past. Matt has baggage and doesn't want to bring Sierra down. She is a strong Latina woman and takes no prisoners when it comes to her kids. She is a force to be reckoned with and had ups and downs. Not a bad read!

When I read the book description I immediately found myself interested in reading this book. I hadn’t heard about J.L. Lora before, but this book sounded really fun. So I was super excited when I received a review copy, and started reading as soon as possible.

In ‘Some mornings’ we meet Sierra Torres. Sierra’s life hasn’t been easy lately. She is recently divorced and her ex is giving her a hard time, and her kids seem to hate her. So when Matt walks into Sierra’s life she is apprehensive about starting something with him. Yes, she can use something good in her life to take her mind of things.. but she also just wants to focus on her kids. But soon Sierra finds out some thing are just meant to be.

Well, this book was kind of a rollercoaster for me. I enjoyed it, I really wanted to know what was going to happen.. but I also didn’t really like everything. I did enjoy Sierra and Matt’s characters. Sierra was this tough mom, who really did her best to make things better for her children. I really felt for her and her struggles. And I was really rooting for her and Matt from the very beginning. Matt was definitely a guy I loved reading about. Handsome, sweet, honest.. he was definitely charming.

What I didn’t like was the way things started with Sierra and Matt. To me it felt a little sudden! And I found them very crude to a point I just didn’t like. Dirty talk, okay but this was just a little too much for my taste.

But thankfully, J.K. Lora has this way of writing that made me want to keep on reading. And I just really liked the chemistry between Sierra and Matt which made this still a very entertaining read for me.

I loved this, such a fun, flirty read. I adored the chemistry, real sparks between Matt and Sierra, I love even more that the author created ‘real’ and flawed characters you can relate to and really root for. A great read, full of sass, humour and romance

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

A great read from a new author to me. I loved how Sierra and Matt were not perfect characters. They had human foibles and vulnerabilities which made them more real. And when they get together, prepare for steam. There were some interesting ethnic references that I have not encountered before but thoroughly enjoyed. And here I thought Asian mothers were the masters of manipulation! Sierra’s mom was almost villainous. I’m hoping Matt’s police partner gets a story next!

I had not read anything by this author, but really enjoyed this story and will definitely check out her other books. Sierra Torres divorced her cheating husband and is raising their young children, Emmi and Eddie, on her own. Her ex has remarried with a child on the way and seems to have forgotten about his other children. When her car is stolen, Officer Matthew Hunter, a former childhood friend arrives to take the report. He is immediately interested in reconnecting with Sierra and soon proves that he is good for her and the children. They see each other in the mornings when the children are in school, but that doesn’t stop her disagreeable mother from objecting to his presence. Matt has his own family issues. Should he stay away from Sierra for her sake and the children? I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

Some Morning by J.L. Lora is the second book in a stand alone series of books starting with Some Nights featuring Jax and Saona this book is for Matt and Sierra. They both were childhood friends together until both of Matt's brothers cause his family to flee to New Jersey. Until a Sierra's car is stolen and the officer that is sent is Matt.

Sierra not only got rid of her cheating husband and she's working as a accountant for her sister's boyfriend. Having her car stolen wasn't in the plan though when she sees Matt again who's now a cop they both wonder if there could be something more. But Matt has a lot of family responsibilities taking a huge portion of his life but it will a sassy Sierra and her kids Eddie and Emmi to show him that he can have his own family again. But don't think that Sierra's mother won't put her two cents in as well as the final conversation with her ex-husband will have you saying "Yay, Sierra! I hope Dahila Wicker (Matt's partner) and the handsome doctor get their own book.

This is Sierra and Matthew book, Sierra is a divorced single mom and her life is kind of a hot mess right now! Her ex is driving her crazy and her car just got stolen!! But when she reports the theft a blast from her seven minutes in heaven past shows up! Matthew is a police officer he lives to serve and protect what’s left of his family and the people of Baltimore! When he gets called to a stolen vehicle he gets a blast from his past in a fiery sassy hottie!! Their old feelings reignite very quickly but when their past catches up to them are their seven minutes in heaven over for good?! This book was a good read, not my all time favorite but worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
