I felt she put her heart into writing this wonderful story. This is a story of starting over, learning to leave the past behind why reaching out to find love again, going through the down falls to learn to live life to its fullest why staying ahead of the game and the family who is over protective. As we all know this can be a trying and very hard time as it was for Avery and Maddox. It is even harder when you are best friends with the girl’s brother who has told you she is off limits. I found this to be a wonderful cute, humorous read.Avery has had no luck with men, each one lets her down. The only ones she can trust are her father and brothers. She does have a crush on her brothers best friend, has had it for years. Maddox doesn’t even notice her or so she thinks. She knows she is off limits but the attraction is still there. For the time being she is putting all she energy into raising her young daughter. The time has come that she must decide if she is going to throw it all to the wind to follow her heart and take the fall out which will come.Maddox is a playboy, a man of many one night stands, no women will pin him down. Lords knows there has been many who have tired. There is this one lady who stays in his mind but she is off limits he knows there will be hell to pay if he even tries. So he fights his feeling but just can’t help his self fall for the beautiful lady and you beautiful young daughter.Avery and Maddox just can’t find the feelings they have. Bean (her daughters nick name) lets the cat out of the bag and it is so cute and funny. Avery and Maddox now have to face her older brother and fight to stay together or part. If that isn’t enough the old girlfriend is causing trouble, not many are happy for this couple. There are trying times ahead which will either make them or break them.I did enjoy the author’s style of writing, I did however feel that the author had a few things to long winded adding to but was not necessary. In no way did it take away from the story. For an author first time release I felt she did an outstanding job. There were a few type Os but I never take away from that. These few can be over looked easily. I felt the title fit this story to a T since it is about trusting in those you love.I did love the characters, the few you would hate did not appear at all or not that much so you don’t really hate them you just dislike them. Bean was a sweetie that I fell in love with, her innocents was to die for. I adored Jake and can’t wait to read his story, for a tough alpha man I think he will have a hard road to follow.It was a pleasure to read how Avery and Maddox fell in love and all the down falls they have to go through to try to make a relationship work. I found this to be a believe story of today and could be anyone of our stories. I do truly look forward to seeing more from this author and to watch her grow in her writing. I give this book a 4.5 an am rounding it up to 5 stars. Congratulation on your debut novel I feel you will go far in the writing world with many more wonderful stories. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FIVE 'I WANT THIS' STARS! *by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2015* This is the first book by in the Rivers Edge series by the talented Lacey Black. This is her debut novel, and I was very impressed with the quality of Ms. Black's writing. She has a natural story teller's ability, and she was able to weave a very believable romance with likable characters that the readers easily become invested in. I am a total sucker for small town romances and for the older brother's best friend/best friend's little sister storyline, so Ms. Black hit two of my favorites in one swing with this opening story to what promises to be a great series.Avery Stevens is a 22 year old single mom to 4 year old, Brooklyn, and the youngest sibling to four over protective older brothers. Brooklyn's father is not in the picture, wanting no part of being a dad or a partner to Avery. She hasn't had much luck in love, and she's got some issues with trusting men. She's had an unrequited crush on her brother, Jake's, best friend for years."I don't want to do this alone forever."Maddox Jackson is Jake Stevens' childhood best friend. They were in the Marines together, and they are now partners on Rivers Edge's police department. He isn't looking to settle down, he's happy playing the field with no commitments to any woman and can't imagine his life any other way. He may admit to himself that he is very attracted to Avery, but he lives by the "bro code" that she is off limits."Avery Stevens is the most stunning woman I've ever seen."Avery and Maddox have a few run-ins and strike up a friendship, which, of course, blossoms into more than either was looking for or expected. Their attraction to one another is strong, and it isn't long before they can no longer fight that pull. Maddox is having feelings he's never felt before about Avery and about Brooklyn. He's surprised to find that he doesn't want to fight those feelings either."Do you want this? This life with me?"Avery has always been attracted to Maddox but never believed that she had any chance with him. When they start spending time together, she realizes that she's not just attracted to him, she has feelings for him. Of course, she has to find a way to get past her trust issues, and that doesn't come easily for her. Added to all of this is the fact that they're hiding their relationship from everyone, including Jake.This is a great story about two people so obviously meant for each other, finding their way towards a life together they never expected. There is nasty drama from outside forces, interference from well meaning big brothers, and distrust and doubt for them to navigate. Will Avery let go of her distrust to embrace a future with Maddox? Will Maddox realize that everything he never knew he wanted is right there for the taking? How will Jake react to their relationship?Ms. Black has penned an absolute winner with this impressively well written, romantic and steamy small town tale. She's laid the groundwork for a great series with characters that you cannot help but want to know more about, and she has painted a wonderful backdrop of family, friendship and small town goodness. I'm glad to have discovered this author, and with this book alone, she's easily become a favorite. I loved this story so much! I'm very excited for the next book in this series, and all the others that will follow. Congratulations on a fantastic debut, Lacey Black! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet *by L***B on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2023* Sorta clean bit Avery’s daughter makes the story better. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/6835210-trust-me-rivers-edge-book-1](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/6835210-trust-me-rivers-edge-book-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
