He was a nameless guy in a bar–a man Grace couldn’t get out of her head…
A week later, she came home to find him sweaty and shirtless with a tape measure in hand, remodeling her loft. As a Parker-King, she’s not allowed to want someone like Noah Dalton. She’s sick of her life, though. Sick of the rules of being a Parker-King. She wants something more, even if it isn’t forever. Somewhere in history there was that one time where hot, no-strings-attached sex didn’t end badly, right? Finding comfort in the arms of a former SEAL is easy, not falling for one . . . not so much.
Noah left the military and moved to New York for one reason: his daughter. Not for some uptight businesswoman–a Manhattan elitist. So when Grace offers him the kind of relationship that no hot-blooded man can turn down, he should say no. And when her seemingly put-together life spins out of control, and his instincts to protect and save kick in, he should turn away. But he doesn’t.
Can two people from different worlds really live in the moment, knowing they’re on borrowed time, or is someone bound to get hurt?
EXCERPT
I’m not sure why I’m afraid to reach out to him. Maybe it’s because I feel that I need him.
He makes the monsters go away. I sound like a kid saying that, but it’s true. The darkness slips away when he’s around, and in its place is all this light. Bright and intoxicating light.
And I want it desperately. I want his light to wrap me up and take me away, out of this city.
But we’re both married to this city in completely different ways.
Even if I turn my back on my family for a chance to be with someone like him, he said that he could never give me more.
He was always honest.
But I didn’t expect this, to feel like this.

About The Author
Brittney Sahin began writing at an early age, with the dream to be a published author before the age of 18. Although academic pursuits (and, later, a teaching career) interrupted her aspirations, she never stopped writing—never stopped imagining.
It wasn’t until her students encouraged her to follow her dreams that Brittney said goodbye to Upstate New York in order to start a new adventure in the place she was raised: Charlotte, North Carolina. Here, she decided to take her students’ advice and begin to write again.
In 2015, she published her first novel, Silenced Memories. When she is not working on upcoming novels, she spends time with her family. She is a proud mother of two boys and a lover of suspense novels, coffee, and the outdoors.

★★★★
I received an arc of Someone Like You from Author Brittney Sahin to review honestly.
This is the first novel I have read by Brittney Sahin and I’m completely speechless. This novel was at times angsty and Emotional but then it also had its sweet and enduring moments. I couldn’t get enough!
Noah’s life revolved around three things, His wife, his daughter, and being a SEAL. He’s about to go on a mission into enemy territory when he gets a call that shocks his system to the core. His wife is leaving him. Now he finds himself in the most difficult battle of a lifetime, the custody of his daughter. After his wife left him, Noah is dead set on never letting another woman in. That is until he meets Grace by chance at a bar.
Grace is the silver spoon character in this story. She’s the rich woman with the upscale family and the perfect home. But hidden behind the perfect doors, she’s suffering her own battles. Those battles come in the form of her father and his need to control every aspect of her life. Her father is on his own warpath to merge two wealthy families and he’s using Grace as a pawn and holding an unwanted proposal that includes an arranged marriage over her head.
Noah and Grace are complete opposites. You wouldn’t normally see these two people getting along in the real world and it showed in the beginning of this novel, but beneath the surface I could feel this underlying chemistry between the two.
I loved the strength these two characters showed throughout the novel. I also loved how their relationship progressed, instead of the typical ‘wham bam thank you’ relationship that typically follows romance novels, this one was different. There were steps these two characters took to lead them down the path to where they are now. They conversed to get to know one another. This point was endearing due to the fact that both characters are closed off emotionally. I loved witnessing them grow closer with every page.
In being completely honest, I have never been more frustrated while reading a novel than when I was reading the Noah/Cindy scenes. His soon to be ex-wife is the bitch of all bitches. I literally threw my kindle down twice. Come to think of it I think Cindy is my most hated character to this date. The way she treated Noah was downright dirty…and not in a good way.
Overall, I really enjoyed Noah and Grace’s story! I loved the many emotions this novel brought out of me. I loved the heartbreak, the happiness, and the hope.
Peace Love and Happy Reading,
