excellent,must read..

[Daný · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun and easygoing but it did end rather abruptly: slow-burning romance (10-ish chapters) > trouble (1-2 chapters) > trouble sorted let's get married! (1 chapter)

[Harlequin Books]

"Southwick’s descriptive, humorous and metaphoric narrative brings the bucolic town and story to life. Her circle of friends and the couple’s banter enhance the experience. Her fabulous little tyke co-star and the birth of this new family are exceptionally touching" (RT Book Reviews, 4 stars).
