So I got mixed up on when this one was being published, and when I didn’t get a copy at the end of May, I was sad and thinking I wouldn’t have time to read it. But then I realized it didn’t come out till this week and then I got a copy and was thrilled! The author was able to surprise me in many ways with how things went. First of all, from how Sebastian had ended up being in the midst of a divorce with his ex-wife because he was so adamant about no kids, I was so sure that the talk when Presley told him about their daughter would not go well. That he would throw a big fit and be very angry. It went a lot different than I expected. Not saying he wasn’t upset, but it wasn’t at all the way I expected it to go. And then there was their daughter, Priscilla, she was adorable. Now the whole swear jar thing is one that I’ve seen with kids in a few books, so that was original really, but it is still a cute bit. Although really Priscilla didn’t need it, because she was a character all on her own!

I loved all the family parts as usual with this book as well. In fact I’m looking forward to one of them’s story in the next book I think. The small town was a fun setting as well. I was a bit confused at first, because I knew this was connected to Bet the Farm, so I had assumed it was taking place in that small town. But it wasn’t. So I didn’t recognize characters like I thought I was going to. But that’s okay, because I ended up meeting a ton of fun new characters. One thing I really like with this author is that even the characters you think that you want to hate, most of them anyway, can have a bit of a redeeming side and surprise you in the end. And once again we got that with this story. Another winner by Staci Hart!
