So I liked that this has a bit of a feel like the movie Life As We Know It. It was a quick and easy read. I really liked the small town and the characters living there. The little boy, Danny, was a kid that was so easy to fall in love with from his parts of the story. Kade was definitely a dream guy, the romance novel worthy hero described at the beginning of the synopsis/blurb for this book. Shannon was a good character too. Although while I understood her problem with the abandonment issues, I feel like she totally overreacted with Kade going back to work like he obviously had to.

I also thought it was funny how the book the book club was reading was a novel by the actual author of this book. lol The story was kind of predictable, nothing really happened that surprised me or that I didn’t see exactly where it would go. I also had some issues with some of the dialogue. There were some very formal phrases used by people in situations that didn’t make sense, and a lot of time contractions weren’t used when it would make more sense for people speaking. Sadly some of the dialogue in the steamy scene was a little awkward and kind of made me skim over that a bit to get on with the story.
