No Strings Attached: A Steamy Stand-Alone Romance by Lara Ward Cosio

Out of curiosity I decided to look at the books I had read written by this author, and I have read all but one of her books.  Trying to figure out how I missed the one I did.

I absolutely loved this story.  From the way Tanner and Kayla meet to how they end up spending more time together to the very end.

Emerson was absolutely precious and I coild not get enough of her and her cuteness and how Kayla was so determined to make sure her daughter was happy and settled even if it was to her own detriment which I got since I was once a single mom to a precious little girl.

I’m not sure if my ability to relate to Kayla made me love this story more or not, but really did fall in love.

It was a page turner for sure! It’s been a little while since I read a book that quickly and it had the perfect amount of story and steam. I loved the inner dialogue of Kay because if I were in that situation I’d probably be having the same thoughts. Definitely looking forward to reading more from this author!

This book was beyond beautiful. The author writes a story that is packed with such a great world building that you can see everything she writes.
I love Fairytales and this is definitely one of my favorites now. Mercy is someone before her age she decides that she won’t follow conventional rules and she makes a plan to leave her small life for a big city after her mother passes away leaving Mercy with the family home and land.

No Strings AttachedNo Strings Attached by Lara Ward Cosio

Single mother Kayla is caught up trying to decide between her happiness and what’s right for her daughter. Her unreliable ex is in town and begging to reunite, but she’s got her eye on Mr. Buns-of-steel, Tanner, from the coffee shop. Should she give her rock star ex another chance and be a family unit or see where things go with Tanner? Tanner has a plate full himself with several things going on and doesn’t have time for relationships. His sister has been hassling him about dating and his chance encounter with Kayla presents the perfect opportunity to get her off his back. A no strings attached arrangement should be a cinch right?

This book had me laughing almost immediately. When she is caught ogling his butt while standing in line and plays it off was laugh worthy. I got second hand embarrassment when he caught her sending a picture of his butt to her friend. If you like reading books that have relationships grow slowly and organically, have some sizzle, and have great characters I highly recommend this book.

Kayla fell in love with Rad, a rock star, which left her a single mother to her 4-year-old daughter Emmerson. Rad left to follow the “journey” of his life but pops up with no warning. Kayla has made do with a job she doesn’t love, but she has given up being frivolous to be the mother her daughter deserves.
Tanner is a construction worker who is working across from Kayla’s apartments. He is surprised one morning when turning around in the coffee shop is the beautiful woman he has seen watching his construction site from her window. Even more amused, he catches her staring at his behind.
Kayla and Tanner both have their plates overflowing even though they both feel the pull to the other. They agree to a no string attached relationship, but can they stick to it? As they get to know each other, and support each other as friends, will their feelings become too much to ignore anymore?
This was great story. I had a hard time liking Rad at first, he is pushy and only looking out for himself but finally being able to relate to his daughter made me like him a bit more. I like how relatable Lara Ward Cosio’s characters are. These are settings and circumstances that I have been in or have seen with my friends.

No strings attached was a lovely warm hearted romance. I smiled throughout the book when they were on the right path in their relationship, and groaned when they just couldn’t get it right. I thought all of the characters were realistic and genuine. It was such a relatable story that it made me think about similar situations I’ve encountered in my life. By the end of the book I was cheering for Kayla. It’s a good read.

This was a great 5 star read, I had a LOL moment in the beginning when these two met. Let’s just say Kayla got caught checking out Tanner’s assets. She is a single mother not looking for anything serious, Tanner feels the same way, he’s too busy with work to commit to a relationship. Kayla and Tanner come up with a mutual agreement to satisfy their needs with no commitment.

There is a twist and Kayla’s ex comes to town, looking to get his family back. Will he succeed or will her feelings for Tanner go deeper than friends with benefits?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. The characters were great and lovable, especially Tanner and his helping his sister while her husband was deployed. The author does a great job with her writing and pulls you into the story. I look forward to reading more from her. 1-click and get started today on this must read.

Tanner and Kayla set the pages on fire!!! The chemistry between Tanner and Kayla is just magical, on so many levels. I really enjoyed how this book explored the realities of being a parent and wanting to put your child’s best interests first. Watching the relationship between Tanner and Kayla develop was magical, heart wrenching, exciting and heart warming. I laughed out loud so many times because Kayla is so honest and real. You also get to read both Tanner and Kayla’s point of view throughout the book which makes it so much better. On the surface this book might appear to be a light romance but once you start reading it, you realize that there is so much more to it than that. It really tugs at the heartstrings and had me holding my breath in so many spots. I will absolutely be looking forward to reading more books from this author.

I don’t normally read contemporary books as they tend to bore me. No Strings Attached however is a refreshing breath of fresh air. I love how the story rotates between Kayla and Tanner. The story of how Kayla and Tanner met is so sweet and cute. The flirting is sexy and hot while the bedroom encounters are steamy! The character development is amazing, especially in Kayla. Kayla and Tanner are so perfect together! Lara Ward Cosio knows how to write a delicious romance.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Just LOVED this book!! The story of Kayla and Tanner. This book had moments of me laughing to smiling from ear to ear to my pulse racing!! Kayla is a single mom with a 4 year old little girl. She is so focused on raising Emerson while having a career of her own. A encounter at the local coffee shop, she meets Tanner. All Tanner can offer Kayla at this point is a little fun with no strings attached. Tanner has his own career while he is helping out his sister with his twin nephews while his brother in law is deployed. Things get a bit complex with Tanner and Kayla as they have this back and forth of no strings attached fun but then feelings come into play. Tie in more complexity when Kayla’s ex and Emerson’s father comes back trying to get a second chance with Kayla and raising Emerson.

I just loved this story. Sweet moments mixed with some hot moments and a sprinkle of complex feelings all wrapped into a great book!! Loved Tanner and Kayla’s story!!

No Strings Attached by Lara Ward Cosio is one of the best romance stories that I have read this year. Her characters are just utterly amazing Kayla a single mom of a four year old, and Kyle a strong, attractive construction worker are just the tip of the iceberg. All of her supporting characters are amazing as well, and the plot literally speaks for itself with how amazing it is. But can Kayla and Tanner really keep their relationship as “no strings attached”? Or will feelings start to come into play? But more importantly what happens when Kayla’s attractive ex comes back into the picture? You’ll have to read No Strings Attached by Lara Ward Cosio for yourself to find out.

Kayla and Tanner meet in a very odd sort of way, with her checking out his backside while in line at the coffee shop.
What ensues after would only ever happen in a book or movie but I really enjoyed it.
Kayla is a single mom just doing her best and doesnt have time to date. Tanner is busy with work and starting his own business who also doesnt have time to date. But when they draw the line at no feelings, you know they will both end up hurt.

Really enjoyed this and the other characters in this story as well!

Who doesn’t love a coffee shop romance? This book was such a fun read! The fun, easy conversations and attraction between Kayla and Tanner make them the perfect couple. A true Hallmark movie in the making. I couldn’t put it down, even the construction workers wanted to hear more… or was it to just eat the donuts haha! I’ll look for more books from Lara!

I LOVED this book so much! This author has written some of my favourite books and I was so excited to see a new release from her and it didn’t disappoint at all. Tanner and Kayla were such lovely characters to read about, they had an undeniable chemistry and this is what this author writes about so well. She makes her characters really relatable and you feel as though you are right there with them in their story. There were some great laugh and loud moments mixed in with some very romantic times too. They both had such hectic lives but I was rooting for them the whole way through.

I loved every second of this story and cannot recommend it enough! I would definitely rate it more than 5 stars if I could and it is definitely up there in my top reads of 2021!

This is a sweet and steamy romance. I loved the character of Kayla. She is a single mum who’s main focus is her daughter. That is until she spots a nice ass.

That ass belongs to Tanner and what Kayla doesn’t realise is that he has had his eye on her for a while. Working across from her apartment he has seen her often and wants to get to know her.

As there attention grows the flirty encounters turns into a no string attached agreement. Both of them get what they need with no complications.

In true romance fashion this agreement doesn’t last and as they spend more time together and feelings grown. Can they actually make a relationship work?
When a huge hurdle in the shape of Kayla’s ex returns into her life wanting her back who will Kayla choose. The Rock star ex who broke her heart or the sweet man who has slowly been winning her heart day by day.

Romantic stand-alone with heat!
This was a fun and steamy read. Tanner and Kayla are well developed characters with a depth that is easily relatable. There’s is a quick connection but takes its time to become more and not without their share of issues. I really enjoyed the writing and storyline and totally recommend for romance lovers.

No Strings Attached by Lara Ward Cosio had me glued to my kindle and not wanting this story to end. Tanner and Kayla had a fun flirty meet-cute that turns into fake dating which we all know turns into something serious. But what happens if an ex comes back into the picture?

Tanner’s nephews and Kayla’s daughter are scene-stealers, every time they were in the picture you never knew what was going to pop out of their mouths. If you’re looking for a sweet but on the rugged side slow-burn romance, I found the book for you.

No Strings Attached by Lara Ward Cosio is a standalone romance. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I really enjoyed it!!

Kayla is just trying to do what she needs to do for herself and her daughter. Being a single mom is not all it’s cracked up to be. When she meets Tanner, they definitely have chemistry so they agree on a no strings attached arrangement. Of course nothing ever stays as casual as it’s intended and Kayla and Tanner start spending time together just because. Just as things might develop between them, Kayla’s ex comes back to complicate matters a bit. Does Kayla choose stable Tanner or unreliable Radisson for the sake of her daughter?

I really enjoyed this book! Kayla is such a relatable character as a strong single mom taking care of her daughter. The chemistry between Kayla and Tanner is off the charts and makes for such a good read! This book is the right combination of sweet, spicy and emotional!

No Strings Attached: A Steamy Stand-Alone Romance by Lara Ward Cosio. I have read most of Lara Ward Cosio’s books now and know I can always count on her to deliver an enticing read- and this story certainly lived up to expectations.
This is a sweet and sexy, slow-burn romance with just the right amount of tension and drama to keep me hooked. The characters are really well developed, with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. They really brought this story to life. Their chemistry was quite intense. I really loved the funny banter and quips- it made for a fun read and definitely gave me more than a few laughs. But, as I have come to expect from Lara Ward Cosio, there is also a heartwarming and emotional factor to the story, too- which I loved.
Can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next….

Thank you, Lara Ward Cosio!
