Review
I have not read the first books in this series but I was
able to read this as a standalone.
The first part of the book was fairly slow going but once it
picked up I was fully engaged with this delightful romance. There were a lot of
push and pull that got a little tiresome and I would have preferred the big
secret to have been outed earlier on in the storyline. Luke’s guilt complex was
fairly evident as being the ‘I’m not good enough but I want her anyway’ kind of
dance. Gwen was likeable, especially with her relatable inferiority complex. I
was glad she finally got her muffin man though.
This book felt like a little short and I feel it could have
had more development with a few more emotive and dramatic chapters added in.
However for the most part I enjoyed this sweet romance and
its family vibe. It was a heartwarming and enjoyable read but just needed for
the big secret not to be dragged out as it was. Three and a half stars.
