Goodreads Synopsis
Parker
All I ever wanted was to be part of a family. But that’s what I have found in The Bachelor Pact.
That's why I’ve moved into the Heritage Hill Inn in Cedar Falls. To help with the renovations and plan my next move.
I wasn’t looking to meet anyone, but sometimes people are meant to show up in your life I guess. Delaney is everything I didn’t know I was looking for. But I made a promise to the guys…Never stay the night.
Delaney
I should know better than to fall for the dirty-talking confirmed bachelor Parker.
But no one said anything about getting stuck in a cozy, snowbound log cabin together and indulging in a scorching, no-strings fling!
Parker Scott may have a reputation as “the nice guy,” but he’s also a ruggedly sexy commitment-phobe who does more than just sweet-talking! So despite the sizzling chemistry crackling between us, I don’t take his flirty innuendos too seriously. And that suits me fine, I’ve sworn off relationships for good.
But everything changed that weekend. Now I’m hopelessly addicted to Parker’s unique mix of tenderness and sin. Was this eternal bachelor perhaps not so sworn to the pact after all?

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
Newly out of an on-again, off-again relationship, Delaney is ready to spend time focusing on herself and her friendships. She doesn't need nor want a man, so why is she finding herself drawn to Parker. Parker is in town to help his friends Mason and Pia renovate their inn, and set himself up to run his own construction company, rather than working for someone else. He made a pact with his friends years ago to always remain a bachelor, because he's seen how parent's romances affected the whole family. However, meeting the beautiful pharmacist and artists, Delaney, he starts to forget his pledge, and being trapped in a cozy log cabin blurs the lines even further.
I immediately dove into Desired Hearts as soon as I finished Fallen Hearts because I was hooked by Cissy's writing. We met both Delaney and Parker in the previous book, friends of protagonists, and it was nice seeing their own story. Delaney became a pharmacist to please her family, but her passion has always been in art, and she would love to own her own studio and teach. Parker is in construction, but working for someone else is becoming more and more of a drag. Helping with the renovation on the inn is just what he needs, and spending time with his friends at the remote log cabin has given him a drive to start out on his own. I really liked how he and Delaney became friends, before they gave into their attraction. They're complete opposites, but somehow it just works. Another one bites the dust when it comes to the pact, and I can't wait to see the others fall.
