I really really loved this book. I loved Matt. He was a dominant guy but not an asshole about it. I loved Abby, she was a sweet lady but not a pushover. I adored the kids. I was gearing myself up to not like Matt's mom but even she won me over. I wanted a book that was emotional but not angsty and this was right up my alley. I loved the fact that the children were active characters in the book and not just sidebars to the romance. I loved that in the end Abby UNDERSTOOD. Kudos to you Claudia Conner on a really great story. I do wonder if Matt & Abby ever have kids of their own but I'm guessing that'll probably get addressed in the next two books somewhere.

 I always worry that once i love a narrator in a series (Johanna Parker narrated the Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris) that I'll never be able to hear them in another book and not get distracted thinking of the character that "made them famous" but Johanna Parker did an amazing job with this story and after the initial jolt of recognizing her voice I got over it and never looked back.
