I loved this so much. I had a hard time at the beginning, it was definitely a slow reading to start with, but once I hit 40% I could not leave it down.
Burke was grumpy and didn't disclose much, but once he did, oh man was I moved. I teared up every time I got to know a bit more of his story. The way Charlotte became his home was simply top notch.
Charlotte was the sweetest and also funniest ever. She made her way through his layers and held him grounded. I just loved the fact that she was simply there, being herself, and allowed herself to fell in love with him.
A plus were definitely Aunt Daphne and Richard, the most unhinged couple ever, loved them! And Tansy, oh my, she is awesome, I'm expecting her book sooner or later because I so see her and William being together.
Can't wait to read Mira's story, because she was just the sweetest three year old and the tropes are just so intriguing!

*I have received an ARC of this book through Netgalley in exchanged of an honest review *
I really wanted to like this book because I enjoyed reading Karla Sorensen's books in the past but I felt zero connection to the main characters, didn't feel any true chemistry between them and there wasn't much of a plot.
It took me almost 20 days to read not such a long book because I was bored and I kept hoping it will get better and I'll feel a true connection to the characters but in the end my fav characters were Charlotte's aunt and Burke's niece and nephew.
I felt like I didn't really know Burke even after finishing the book I felt like I was missing information about him and I truly felt like he needed therapy and to learn basic communication skills.
I hate when the characters don’t communicate and in this case it was just too much for me.
I did enjoy the renovation plot of the story, it was interesting to learn about the process and it was my fav part of the book.

This story is a poignant romance exploring love, family, and friendship. Burke Barrett, a former football player, faces life's challenges, including grief and unexpected inheritances. When he meets Charlotte Cunningham, a passionate restoration expert, their connection is palpable, yet the story doesn't shy away from addressing their emotional struggles, from infertility to childhood trauma. The novel beautifully captures the importance of chosen family and supportive relationships, creating a heartwarming atmosphere. While Burke's emotional struggles sometimes felt overwhelming, the book's realism added depth to the characters. Despite the heaviness, the story's genuine portrayal of love and its transformative power deeply moved me. This is a compelling read, evoking a mix of emotions that lingers long after the final page.
