The Shape of Trust (Stand By Me, #5)The Shape of Trust by Brinda Berry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Shape of Trust is the 5th book in the Stand by Me Novel series by Brinda Berry, but it is the first of her books I have read. That being said, it can be read as a stand alone novel. I didn’t read the prior books, and I still thoroughly enjoyed it. The story is about a rich business owner, Webb, who suddenly discovers he has a daughter. Not only did he discover this when she was 5, but she was basically dropped off on his door step and he is left to figure things out. He know nothing about parenting, but quickly feels the parental bond and the need to protect her. An employee he has been crushing on, Lily, offers to help him. She quickly turns from bookstore employee to nanny and makes the transition seamlessly. She is great with kids, having taken care of her siblings, but also uses the opportunity to her advantage. Webb is forced to spend time with her, and she pushes their relationship to the next level. The characters have good chemistry, but the book is definitely more than just romance. It touches on feelings of love, trust, and friendship. I was hooked and will read more from this author moving forward.

4 out of 5 Stars

This new aged adult romance novel is a fun, easy paced book about growing into yourself and moving past old expectations and learning from past mistakes.
Webb and Lily and two wonderfully diverse characters who are perfect;y opposite. Webb was a wild man. A man who lived large and partied harder. He has a fortune from busting his butt to get to the top and now the party scene just isn’t as appealing as it use to be.
Lily. Her sweet soul. She is just trying to make the best of what life has given her. It hasn’t always been easy for Lily. School was difficult because of a learning disability and she is just trying to establish herself in this cruel world.
This is where Webb meets Lily. Webb’s 5 year old daughter is thrust into his life and its sink or swim time for him. Luckily, Lily is a lifeboat.
The banter between these two is hilarious. The author crafted an amazing story. I loved reading this story from cover to cover and was left breathless when it ended. A absolutely beautiful story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Shape of Trust is the fifth book in Brinda Berry’s Stand By Me series. I have read EVERY SINGLE ONE of them so you can imagine I was pretty impatient while waiting to get my hands on this one! I guess you could read the story as a standalone (I did start with the 2nd book) but I have learnt that you actually get more out of the series by reading them in order as you get the references!
The Shape of Trust is the story of Webb Walters and Lily Rose and it starts at the bookstore that we learnt to love in the previous book of the series. You cannot believe the connection that is there between Webb and Lily, the struggle that Webb goes through to not give in to it … And let’s not forget about the surprise he gets when his five year old daughter is dropped at his door step, well at the book store, one rainy night … from a bachelor with a past into an insta-dad with no clue … and then there is Lily who struggles with her day to day life, who is like a little fairy that all the kids flock to and fall in love with and who drives in to save the day and brings the temptation even closer …
The writer has given us two great characters that struggle with real problems and I love the way she shows us what our potential path could be!

The Shape Of Trust, A Stand By Me Novel Book 5, by Brinda Berry. I have read other books by this author, so when I saw this book, I just knew that I had to read it.
What would a guy do when he has to go from living the life all single guys want, to having a cute as a button five year old to take care of???? Can he go from partying and living life to taking care of his daughter that he never knew about. Throw in a quirky, sexy nanny……. this book is everything I was looking for and much much more. The chemistry, love and emotions in this book had me on the edge of my seat waiting for what was going to happen next. I can not wait for more books by this fabulous author!!!

The Shape of Trust (a Stand By Me novel Book 5) by Brinda Berry​ is wonderfully sweet story. Brinda has done a great job of writing wonderful characters that take a hold on your heart. Her​ writing style is captivating and makes it one book you are unable to put down. It is a wonderful romance story that you can’t get enough of.

Lily is such a quirky character she will have you going through an array of emotions as we wade through her no so good life. That is until she meets someone who steals her heart but does he even notice her in that way? She is caring and most compassionate person, always looking out for others, but who looks out for her?

Web finds himself enamored with the new girl but all that needs to stay locked away as he is confronted with the biggest thing to ever happen to him. Something from his past, something he knew nothing about until now. Something that will forever change his life and now that he has it he will not let it go.

I really look forward to reading more in this series. I love it.

I absolutely LOVED this book. I kept turning the page hoping it would never end. The writing, storyline, and characters were flawless.

Lily is finally at a job that she enjoys plus it helps when you have a crush on the boss. As time goes on the chemistry between Lily and Webb (the boss) was undeniable but when things start to really get going for the couple, Webb finds himself with a daughter. His new priority is this little girl and things need to be pushed off with Lily.

I loved how heartfelt this book really was. You are able to really feel and understand the emotions of the characters. Such a beautiful story and I cannot wait for more!

The shape of Trust is book #5 in the Stand by Me series written by Ms. Berry. It is a great read and page turner that I didn’t put it down. The plot was great and different. The characters are well developed and I also enjoyed the secondary characters, the way they played off on each other was hilarious.
Lily is hired at the bookstore to help out while Josie is on maternity leave. This is where she meets Webb. She loves her new job and she is falling for her boss. But she has a secret.
Webb has walked on the wild side and fed his addictions. He finally has his life together when he finds out he has a daughter that he never knew about. What does he know about raising a little girl, but she needs him he can’t fail her, he won’t fail her…
When Josie goes back to work Lily’s hours are cut so she offers to help him out. He has to admit she has a way with kids. She also has a way with him. She gets him going even without her trying. But he has secrets too… She’s too young for him, too sweet and trusting. Will he give into his desires or keep a distance?
Can these two people over-come their secrets?

I highly recommend this book…

The Shape of Trust was a fantastic read! I have read all but one of the books in this series and each one I have absolutely loved. From the very first page until the last I am lost in the story and characters that this wonderful author has created. As with the other books in this series I fell in love with the characters almost instantly – there is just something about them, they are always genuine and down to earth and you just want to keep reading about them. I really liked Lily; she had that quirky quality that I have come to love from this author’s characters. I loved her determination in life and I really wanted her to succeed in everything she wanted.
I liked Webb and thought that he and Lily did have this great connection. I admired Webb for turning his life around and how he dealt with the unexpected news of a daughter that he never knew he had.
Again, this was another fantastic story in this series that I 100% recommend! I look forward to more from Ms Berry again in the future!

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

This is my kind of book, it is sexy but mostly has story and build up. This story made my heart ache and smile at the same time. All of the characters are fantastic and very well written.

Webb is a great man, he is wealthy and accomplished but has his fair share of demons. When his daughter is thrust into his life unexpectedly he is freaked out but I think it started a change in him. He suddenly becomes very protective of her and Lily and having her in his life has stirred up emotions he didn’t think he would have.

Lily, bless her heart, is trying her best to make the crappy life she has work for her and her siblings, on top of that she has her own secrets she tries to keep away from the ones she loves, namely Webb. She is fiercely protective of her younger brother and sister as her mom can’t be bothered to care for them herself. Her older brother is in some hot water with drugs and keeps bringing his issues around his siblings which in turn puts them in danger and that really makes Lily’s blood boil. Lily wants to forget her messed up life and be in Webb’s pretty world but their two worlds eventually have to collide.

Overall a fantastic book, I wish it was longer, but I guess that is how anyone would feel with a book they enjoy! The ending is perfect and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves romance and drama.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Shape of Trust is book five in the Stand By Me series by Brinda Berry. I am fascinated by this author’s twist of words.  How they intricately intertwine to deliver an impeccable romance story.

Webb is a cheeky character with charisma and class. He is also a human that has his scars to wear. He has turned his life around, but never expects to become an instant dad. He takes to the role naturally, and was a joy to get to know. Out of his element, he gains the assistance of Lily, who he is insanely attracted to. Lily made me want to wrap her up, protect her from the world’s ugliness and spoil her rotten. She is exceptionally selfless and honourable, both qualities that I admire and applaud. She knows no limit to her kindness, and is not afraid to share how much her people mean to her.

The Shape of Trust was an profoundly excellent story that I could not put down. Captivating and stimulating, I cannot recommend this book enough. High praise for this story and its author. 5 stars.

This author just has a way of writing a story that completely drags me in and I lose sleep over because I just can’t put it down. Webb and Lily may have just stolen my heart with their story. Webb lived a wild life but now he’s responsible for more than just himself but luckily for him Lily may be just what he needs. Watching these two grow and interact throughout this story was fun. It’s well written and paced nicely. With characters you can connect with and root for. I can’t wait to read more from this amazing author.

The Shape of Trust by Brinda Berry is a four-star read that will shape your mind. This is the fifth novel in the Stand By Me series, but can be read as a stand-alone.  I have read a couple of them, but they are all great stories and enjoyable in their own right. This was a good story as Lily was such a well rounded character with flaws that will make you fall in love with her. She is quirky but fun. Add in some other amazing characters and you have the makings of a great story, there were a couple of wobbles, but they were still good overall.

The Shape of Trust is a phenomenal romance read told with so much detail by the incredible Brinda Berry. This book is the 5th book in the Stand By Me series, a series that can be read as standalones. Yet with that being said they are all definitely worth a read!

Lily and Webb’s story is sweet, romantic, heartfelt, steamy and emotional, their story is my all time favorite by this author. All of the detail made it so easy for me to connect with these characters and to feel invested in them and their happiness. The storyline flowed so well, with the perfect build up of emotions. I enjoyed everything about this book.

I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next romance read!

The Shape of Trust by Brinda Berry is book five of the Stand by Me Series. This book can be read as a standalone.

Lily really needs a job so the job at the bookstore was perfect. She didn’t expect Webb or the feelings she would develop for him. When he needs help with his daughter, Lily offers her help. She loves kids and this gets her more time with Webb.

Webb has messed up a lot in life. He can’t afford to mess up where his daughter is concerned so agreeing to Lily’s offer of help while a tough choice was a no brainer.

Both Webb and Lily have their secrets. Will their secrets and the past threaten the future they hope to build?

I absolutely loved this book. There were some unexpected turns but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! Lily is so strong and independent. She’s found a way to push through and keep moving forward with life when it would have been so easy to make a few different choices. Webb has overcome something not a lot of people can overcome. These characters together are great. I absolutely recommend this book!

THE SHAPE OF TRUST by BRINDA BERRY

Four Stars

Family is what’s suppose to hold us together. The glue to our foundation. Some people don’t get so lucky as to have family like that. Lilly’s life hasn’t been easy. Caring for her siblings and doing what she can to survive. Webb is such a smooth guy. Until you get his temper going. I enjoyed these two characters coming together. The author made their age a big deal but I think it might have highlighted something unique to them. I don’t like large age gaps especially if it’s a teenager. The author pointed out how their age shouldn’t matter. So much emotional pain for such a young life. Julieann was too smart and straight forward. She seemed to have missed a normal childhood with her mom. But you can see that changing with Webb. The story was strong and sweet.

Brinda Berry’s Fifth Book In The Stand By Me Series, The Shape Of Trust has been another incredible captivating read from the get go.
This is my second read from this author and even with this being book 5 they can be read as stand-alone and be enjoyed and loved just as much as if read in sequence. I was totally captivated with this read from the moment I started it. I absolutely loved the realness of this story and the plot and issues that are in this book, they are believable and relatable, and most definitely made a change to read about a single dad. I was surprised at how quickly I loved both Webb’s character and Lily’s.
These two have an instant attraction and connection that is undeniable, but is it something both of them can resist? Or will they get their HEA? With emotions running high through this book, it was a book nobody will put down and most certainly pick up and read again! It’s the perfect romance novel for all.

After reading this book I most definitely need to read all the ones I have missed. I can’t wait to see what else Brinda Berry does with this series, if it’s anything like this one you will not be disappointed!

The Shape of Trust is the fifth book in the Stand By Me series by Brinda Berry. This single dad, age gap slow burn romance will keep you on the edge of your seat till the very end. Josie and Webb have some amazing chemistry and with the slow burn, the anticipation of them getting together was so worth the wait. Webb’s five-year-old daughter stole the pages whenever she was on them, I think I was laughing every time she opened her mouth, you never knew what she was going to say next. I am not going to give much away about this book; I am going to tell you that you need to read it and this series. This is only my second book of the series that I have read and both were really good.

The Shape of Trust was a great 5 star read and book five in the Stand By Me series.

Webb is a bachelor that has had some dating nightmares and is a little standoffish when it comes to women. I had a LOL moment from some of his dating experiences.

Lily has been hired to work at the bookstore that Webb owns along with his friends sister, Josie. The way she meets Webb was hilarious and definitely embarrassing for Lily. How can she work with someone so hot?

Of all the bosses I’ve ever had, ever dreamed about, ever see on television…none of them looked like this guy. – Lily

Webb has definitely taken notice of Lily and he cant stop sneaking glances at her. And of course Lily has noticed Webb as well. Things take a big twist when a woman and child show up at the store on a rainy night, Webb is thrown for a huge loop. He meets his 5 year old daughter Julieann. Lily steps up and offers to help Webb with his daughter. Will these two connect and get a HEA.? Or will each of their secrets interfere and ruin everything?

My emotions were all over the place and I loved the bantering. We do get some steamy scenes as well. I really liked all of the secondary characters. Brinda Berry does a great job of pulling you right in with her writing. I didn’t want to stop until I was done, I had to see how things ended. And the ending, OMG loved it. I’m an 80’s girl and loved the band that helped Webb out. This is a must read, you will really enjoy it.

Here’s a funny story with a serious situation, drug abuse. It includes some minor situations, single parenting, dyslexia, trusting other people. Berry has written a story with all these situations and given us the fun and crazy ride of Lily and Webb.

Super cute story with real characters. I loved how this book was able to take real life circumstances and create characters that were unafraid to tackle them.

I highly recommend this story and even though it is book 5 in the Stand by Me series, it can be read as a standalone.

This story had me hooked from page 1, I love how the author took a real life issue and turned it into part of who Lily was and it was written beautifully. Then tackling another real life problem with Webb. I loved everything about this story. I started it thinking i’ll just get it started and read it throughout my day but that didn’t work, I ended up reading it in one sitting. The words flowed too perfect to put down and my interest stayed glued to my kindle the whole book.

I still have to download and read the first 3 of this series and will as soon as i can, but rest assured this can be read as a stand alone. I just can’t wait to put the whole series together and read them all one right after the other..Its that good!

By Brinda Berry
Rated 5 stars

This is another super book in the Stand By Me Series. I have read quite a few of this series. This is a interesting one that deals with some tough decisions for both characters. It was all blended well together. I liked each of the main characters and the story was good. The connection between Webb and Lily was very believable. I enjoyed their time together as much as they did. Learning, talking and laughing. That kissing!?!? Meltdown!

Webb has struggles in his life but his most recent is staying away from Lily who he considers “too young” for him. When he hires her for a job the struggle is harder because being around her all the time makes him only think of one thing. When they talk about the physical ”age” difference vs the mental one it’s mentioned by Lily that:

“ It’s not the days that make up a life, you know. It’s the experiences.”

I thought that was so profound. Great line!

I struggled with his daughter sometimes because a 5yo would not be okay with her grandma leaving her with someone she doesn’t know. ….and not crying for her mom all the time. That just seemed weird. She acts like she is perfectly fine living with a man she has never seen. Plus the words she uses and actions make her seem older than her age. I just wish this would Have been addressed at least for a little bit. Then have her adjust to her new life. She is a cute addition to the story so I can fault for that addition.

Again this is not my first book by this author. It is probably my second favorite of the series. I like that the author doesn’t shy away from real problems and uses them to show how people can move forward in life.

The Shape of Trust : A Stand By Me Novel Book five written by Brinda Berry. The Shape Of Trust is a cute story about want, need and self control when you think something is wrong. Lilly is a cute yet seductive character, you don’t expect it from her at first and as the story goes on you see her coming out of her shell more boldly to get what she wants, Webb. Webb is a man with a past that he’s not proud of, he’s worked hard to get to where he is. And then a daughter is thrust into his life and changes everything. Reading as Lilly lusts after Webb and he denies any attraction because he thinks she’s too young and too innocent is entertaining because that’s what makes Lilly’s boldness come out. As the story progresses you see them both come out of their shell but will they ever make it past the friends and employee relationship.

The Shape of Trust (Stand By Me, #5)The Shape of Trust by Brinda Berry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Shape of Trust by Brinda Berry is a standalone book in her Stand By Me series. It is a romantic story where both characters have hugely complicated and difficult lives. Both need help, and are reluctant to ask for it until they are sure if they can trust each other.
Webb is a recovering drug addict and successful investor. His life is turned upside down when he discovers he has a young daughter who needs someone to look after her while her mum is in rehab. With no idea how to take care of a child, he turns to an employee, Lily, who is good with kids and could do with the extra work. Lily’s experience with children comes from more or less raising her siblings whilst putting up with neglect from her mother and addict brother.
As you might expect, the book is full of twists and turns. Webb and Lily have a lot to deal with, and need to learn to trust each other and ask for help. They also need to work out whether to fight or embrace the strong feelings they have for each other.
There are some great child characters in this story. I particularly liked Erin, Lily’s sister, who is cunning and observant. I also liked Julieann with her ridiculous vocabulary. It is good to see in the story how Webb and Lily always put the children they take care of first, and are unconditionally loving of them.
This was an enjoyable read! Tense at times, but ultimately heart-warming. I give it five stars, and would recommend it if you enjoy romances with complicated families.

The Shape of Trust is the fifth book in the Stand By Me series by Brinda Berry. This series just seems to get better and better with each new release. I have really loved this series, so when this book was released I knew I just had to read it- but I wasn’t sure I would love it as much as the other four books. Well, I should never have doubted Ms. Berry, because the characters and storyline won me over immediately, and this book has now become my favourite of the series.
As with the other books, Ms. Berry has produced a wonderful story with a superb plot and a captivating storyline. Added to that were her endearing, fully developed, and somewhat quirky characters- the combination of these pulled me into the story and kept me wrapped up in all the developments. I was so completely emotionally invested in every detail. I couldn’t put it down, as I really had to know how things would play out- so I ended up reading it all in one sitting. Web and Lily Rose are such fantastic characters, but it’s little Julianne who really stole the show!
Ms. Berry manages to instil bucketloads of charm and emotion into her stories and characters- which gives her books a real heart & soul.
I really recommend this book- you’ll be bound to love it just as much as I have!
I can’t wait to get my hands on her next book!

Thank you, Ms. Berry.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

THE SHAPE OF TRUST is the 5th book in the “Stand By Me Series” yet it is 100% a stand-alone. It is always fun to see the cameo appearances made by characters from previous stories, so I always recommend reading an entire series for that reason.

Similar to the other stories in the series, THE SHAPE OF TRUST focuses on our M/m as they navigate new situations in life. The characters are well developed and I was immediately invested in each of them. The story has a very clear path from beginning to end and the story-line holds true through the entire telling. There are children as secondary characters that I would like to read about in the future. This would be a fun group to watch grow and morph as the years progress.

“Dog Eared Books” is a fictional bookstore in the story and I hope that everyone has an independent bookstore they frequent in their own town. They are an asset to local communities and bring so much joy to families.

Brinda Berry is definitely an author who I enjoy reading and I always look forward to what she is writing. I will continue to follow her for her stories in the future.

The Shape of Trust (a Stand By Me novel Book 5) by Brinda Berry – Review by Heather Bahm

The Shape of Trust (Stand By Me, #5)The Shape of Trust by Brinda Berry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Brinda Berry’s The Shape of Trust is the fifth book in the Stand By Me series. This new adult/college romance was touching, unique, and rife with pieces of drama filled obstacles that need to be overcome. Webb’s character has demons in his past that he has worked to rise above, but yet still allows that to have some type of impact on the decisions he makes now. He comes across as a charismatic and dependable individual, but yet afraid at the same time. Enter Lily. She’s just an amazing character. Of course, she has her own unique challenges in her life, but she works to make sure they don’t define her and attempts to arise above. These two are certainly the opposite of one another, but yet the ultimate mate to one another. Reading these characters’ stories and wondering if they’ll work to gain what they desire and need within their lives was entertaining, emotional and truly well written.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my favorite book in this series yet. I read a lot about single moms but its great to read about strong single dads. Webb finally has his life together until his five year old daughter he never knew about turns his life upside down. Then he meets Lily. Not only instant attraction but she could be the one to help turn his life right side up again. I loved these two, their chemistry is off the charts. Will they be able to resist each other? I highly recommend reading their story!
