Small town single dad AND single mom? Sign me up! Fake dating too? Even better! I really enjoyed this book. Corinne does an excellent job of building the relationship between Grady and Addison. She handles their grief well, I feel that how they handled their grief really suited their characters. They help each other move on and find love again without taking away from either of their past loves. The spice also delivers! Honorable mention to the cute scenes with the kiddos. I recommend this for my fellow small town single parent girlies! Iβm excited to continue on with the series.

I loved this book and I'm so happy to finally read Addison's story. Ever since I met her for the first time, I wanted to find out what is her happy ending that she deserved after so much suffering.
Addison and Grady have something in common. Both are widows and have children of the same age.
The two meet by chance at the daycare where the children go. After that they continue to meet randomly at a restaurant where Addison is with a bad date and him with another investor. Grady comes to her aid when one of the dates is so cringe and bad. That's when also they make an agreement to pretend they are in a relationship in order to achieve what they want: Addison stop being seen as Issac's widow and Grady to get an investor to take his dream further and have a stable living for his son.
The feelings they have for each other were inevitable, but first they had to get to the right place to realize it.
I really liked that I saw some people from Rose Canyon again, which made me want to reread the series after the new year.
I'll let you find more about them and their story because they are such beautiful characters, and Corinne wrote their story so beautifully.
Thank you Corinne Michaels and Valentine PR for the opportunity to read this amazing book in exchange for an honest review.
