Scott Beckley is honest, loyal, wonderful with his nieces and nephews, and, by Penny's account, the best lover on the planet, a keeper in every way, as long as she never longs to hear the three little words that would take them to the next step. Scott escaped abusive parents at seventeen and spent years finding his way alone, and even now, reunited with his estranged sisters and settled into a good life in Peaceful Harbor, Maryland, his past still torments him.

Scott did not have an easy childhood. He grew up in an abusive environment, which he escaped when he was seventeen years old. However, he bears the emotional scars associated with his past, which hindered him from forming relationships with women. Meeting Penny brought about changes, but although their relationship has grown, he feared becoming a father and verbally expressing his feelings.\n\nIn For A Penny delivered a short but sweet, passionate romance brimming with emotions and sprinkled with humour. The reader got the chance to follow Scott and Penny as they navigated the ups and downs of their relationship. Penny wanted what Scott feared giving her, and it weighed heavily on her. I felt her pain and my heart wept for her as she struggled with deciding whether to let go or fight for the man she loves. I loved how well they communicated with each other and the way they worked through their issues.\n\nIt was fun catching up with characters from the previous books and being present at Bones and Sarahs’ wedding.\n\nIn For A Penny was a delicious romantic story, which featured outstanding characters whom you can’t help but fall in love with. Another beautiful story from Melissa Foster.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxpwzesy8b2z5zm63xdxtmh8",[],"2026-07-17T02:02:38.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":134,"per_page":135,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":19},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kxpwzebxc112e72w7ascskzb\u002Freviews",20]
