I have really enjoyed following familiar characters down the road of life, while adding new ones along the way. This was an especially sweet story.

Changing this down to 1 star
This book was slowwwwww. The romance was very underwhelming. And the writing was...not great.
But it was kind of entertaining I guess.
Some quotes
"But if their moderator was a thirty-year old former beauty contestant in tight jeans who flirted with male employees like this one did, it was doomed."
"She told Peter it would be a bad time. Peter told her to take one for the team."
"This was quite challenging as she didn't trust Tim to respond to an email in a timely manner."
"He could tell Hannah didn't know how beautiful she was."

I was looking for some fluff to listen to and boy was this some fluff. When Hannah Russell comes back early from a work trip to find her fiance in bed with one of her employees - her world comes crashing down. It gets even worse when she discovers that her best friend has unexpectedly died and she now has custody of her 5 year old child with special needs. Talk about a curve-ball. She's trying to bond with Noah so she decides to rent a nice guesthouse in the mountains for a couple weekend so they can learn to love and trust each other. She ends up meeting the owner of the house and his big dog and suddenly the world seems even brighter. They start to fall hard and Hannah will have some tough choices to make on what she wants her future to look like. Do she and Noah have room for Own, his dog, and their beautiful house (who wouldn't?!?). Sappy, predictable, repetitive, and slow. The "twist" at the end was obvious. Perfect for fans of happy fluff with a little bit of spice (a few sex scenes - mildly graphic).

First let me say, I am huge Robyn Carr fan and I have read every book in this series and have enjoyed each one. That is why I was surprised when this book didn't work for me at all. Let me explain.

First, the way this book started out seemed abrupt and cheesy at the same time. Hannah attending a corporate retreat at the lake and returning with her newly adopted son just seemed obvious. Then the quick change from Hannah in corporate life to family life at the lake just seemed real quick.

This one gave me all of the feelings...from the main characters to the supporting ones. The little boy, the family that is created, the friends that are really family to the giant goofy dog. Loved it!

I enjoyed this story of friendship, motherhood and love. Robyn Carr writes wonderful small town communities where the reader feels right at home. Hannah, Noah and Owen's story is a sweet one that will leave the reader satisfied long after the story ends.
