When Matt runs into pregnant Abby and her four children at the beach, he's immediately attracted to them. You might say it is almost mutual, because the kids are enamored with him from the start, and it was clear that they had been missing a father figure in their lives and Matt stepped into the position. Loved ALL the interactions between Matt and the children in this, and it was a big part of my satisfaction with this title. 
 Abby is self-sufficient as evidenced by her taking 4 children on a beach vacation and while she's attracted to Matt, she's had enough heartache in her life that she holds him at bay, keeping her distance because people always leave. No sense in letting her heart get invested when she KNOWS how its going to end. But Matt is persistent and there is something between them, and eventually she gives into him. 
 Matt's family is happy he's found someone since carrying the guilt of the death his best friend and fellow Navy Seal around with him hasn't been good for him. He's made a promise to his dead friend that conflicts with the life he could have with Abby. After much soul searching, he decides to leave the military. He's promised Abby he won't leave her but when he goes to resign he finds out there's one more mission he just can't turn down. 
 This part of the book gets very emotional, and while I didn't actually cry, a tear of two might have slipped out. Kids have a way of yanking out your heart, and they do it in style in this book. 
 The plot was predictable and enjoyable. Loved all the characters in this, including Matt's family and especially his older brother Tony who offers some great advice to Matt at various points in the story. 
 So overall, I liked this a lot and will be interested in reading the next book in the serious. If you like military themed romances, I think you will like this one. It's not just a love story between Matt and Abby but between the children and Matt and his family. I liked that aspect the most about this story.
