Loved the story because...
The story in this book follows similar lines as other secret/unknown child. I have read quite of few of these type of stories but this was definitely less irritating than others. The h Kari did try numerous times to contact the H Max. This is usually one of the reasons I find myself frustrated to begin with but it wasn't like that here.
I also liked how the author described Molly, instead of acting childish or like a grownup; I thought she acted like a normal teenager would have if they found out who their father was and all the drama surrounding it.
This book didn't just include Kari and Max's story but multiple others as well which was different. They were well woven together and didn't jump all over the place. It was easy not to get them confused.
I didn't like...
Some parts of the story dragged a bit and I became annoyed because it seemed like I was reading the same parts over and over again. It would have been nice if Kari and Max's story didn't repeat itself in parts. I don't know whether this was to give more time for other storylines to develop but I can forgive this for how much I loved the book overall.
I wouldn't consider myself one to hold grudges but I thought Max's mother was forgiven too easily.
Recommendation
Overall, I really did enjoy the book and would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys the secret child storyline. As I said it was much easier to read than others as I wasn't pointing out everything would have been fixed if the person did the right thing to begin with. I also loved the HEA and would love to read Nicole's story.

Spoiler
If I found out someone close to me, let alone my mother, knew I had a child somewhere and didn't tell me for fourteen years I would be a bit angrier than Max.Recommendation

This is not my first go round with this author but I know her better as T.K. Ragan, a mystery suspense writer who has the power to break my heart into a million pieces. Ahem, anyway... This book was cute. Predictable and fluffy. It was a good palate cleanser after my last book which was dark and heavy. I don't think Romance is her strong point but I can't base that off one book. I would be interested to see how one of the characters is doing in the future and I wonder if she wrote anymore of the character's stories.

Gym Reading, aka "I got it free for my Kindle." This is a romance story. No more, no less. The premise is pretty shaky. The characters annoyed me. It always annoys me when there's SOME BIG SECRET that the main character should just fess up to, but doesn't. But sometimes, I get it. There's a reason Kari never told her daughter and it makes sense. But when Max is back in her life, she needed to tell her. And for a bit there, it just couldn't happen due to LIFE. But there's one point where she says she just doesn't have a chance, then THREE DAYS OF NOTHING go by and she takes her daughter to spend the weekend with Max's family and still doesn't tell her. Really? Her best friend was able to see that Max was the daughter just from a picture, and you don't think Max's fam's going to be able to see it from a weekend?? Her quick turn around (when she left the bar) in the end also came out of nowhere. It jut didn't make sense.
In the end, I gave this three stars because I did enjoy reading it, but there are a LOT of problems.
