Cancer Ships Aquarius by Anyta Sunday
5.0

Another win in Anyta Sunday’s Signs of Love series. By now we all know how freaking much I love this series. The characters are about as close to perfection as you can find. That’s not to say the characters themselves are perfect. No. They are beautifully flawed.

Here we have the story of Reid and Sullivan. Reid has abandonment issues, but he still has a huge heart. Reid’s capacity for loving Sullivan, Joanna and his friends was so freaking amazing.

After Sullivan’s husband died he didn’t want to risk losing anyone again. He spent his time working and taking care of his thirteen year old daughter, Joanna.

Joanna loves her dad, and wants him to start living again. She’s also tired of moving from place to place. Sullivan works from his home, and with his job that means he and Joanna live on a boat. Tired of never being able to keep friends, or have a home, Joanna hatches a plan. She’ll find the perfect manny, and enlist their help in making Sullivan fall in love with the town. Joanna also wants her dad to find love again. Reid, while happy to help Joanna get Sullivan off of the boat and enjoying life, doesn’t quite realize that Joanna seems to be hoping he will also be the answer to her dad’s broken heart.

This is Anyta Sunday, so we know we are going to be treated to some great slow-burn romance. While it takes a good while to get to the sexy times, the banter between Sullivan and Reid, along with their flirting is so perfect that you don’t care.

As always, we’re treated to some appearances by other Signs of Love characters. And, as always I found myself smiling from any mention or appearance.

Honestly, I can’t even describe how perfect this book is. There isn’t one thing that I didn’t love about it. The characters may be perfectly flawed, but this book overall? It’s just perfect.
