Wow, can I say how much about Tess and her state of being single and her emotions and how she related to people, well it just resonated so much because it was me in so many ways. And I loved the storyline of this one. It really seemed quite unique to me! Now I haven’t read the first one in this series yet, Mad About Ewe, but I really need to! Because we got a few scenes with characters from that one, so I’m really intrigued now!

As I said, I just got Tess and connected with a lot of her emotions and attitudes. I did not like Donal at first, I mean from Tess’s point of view, there was obviously good reason because we didn’t know what or why he was actually acting that way. So I also like that we got his point of view in this story. He had his own issues, but he was dealing with them in a way that made sense. I totally began to understand his feelings as well. I liked how his mom was when she found out about the child he’d fathered a long time ago.

There was a big dramatic part where Tess thought he’d deserted her once again towards the end, and I love how when she found out what happened, her reaction changed. I feel like it was so much more real and how people would act. It made me really like her even more. Her family, specifically her dad’s condition, really hit me too, as I’m dealing with my own parent that is starting to show those signs. Reading about how she dealt with it really helped me with some of the feelings I’ve been stressing over lately on the future.

A wonderful story, my second by this author, but definitely will NOT be my last one!
