A fun and heartwarming second chance at romance. It has all the feels that make it an amazing story. I loved the characters and the chemistry. It’s entertaining and enjoyable escape. A story not to be missed.

Lots of editing errors and discrepancies in personality descriptions 

Situationship by Marina Adair is a wonderful story about starting over and unexpectedly getting a second chance with the one who got away. Teagan Bianchi was on her last nerve. She divorced her husband after he gambled away everything, almost everything that mattered to Teagan; especially her family business. With her 4 year old twin daughters and out of control dog, Garbage Disposal or GD, Teagan left Seattle and headed south to Pacific Cove, California; where she grew up. To the home left to her by her grandmother. Upon arrival, two things happen: first, she is welcomed by her next door neighbor and secondly, her house isn’t empty; her semi-nomadic sister, Harley, was encamped inside. After an awful divorce, the sisters were separated, being raised by different parents and are quite different. About a year ago, they had a huge fight and haven’t been in much contact. Another complication is her next door neighbor Colin West who was her first love when she was 17. Colin has been divorced for years, but does not regret the marriage because he has his beloved 17 year old daughter and is struggling with an understaffed and demanding veterinary practice. Teagan disrupted Colin’s plans in the past, and he is wary about letting her in and once again disrupting his life. Sometimes, life makes sure things work out the way they are supposed to; it was fate they would end up together. As Teagan works on rebuilding her life, she is learning that everything does not need to be perfect for you to be more than enough for your family and loved ones. Teagan is not the only one who grows through this story, as Harley also does some soul-searching, learning to give love and accept love.

Ms. Adair wrote a wonderful, sweet and heartwarming story that should not be missed. She provided a tale written from the viewpoint of Teagan and Harley. Each chapter begins with a quote that relates not only to the story, but also to the chapter that follows. The roller coaster ride that Teagan and Colin are on, allows fate to bring them together, picking up the pieces of their lives, and being the support each other needs to live their best life possible. I highly recommend Situationship to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

I liked it a lot - it was cute
Old love, they went their ways
Girlie came back after her divorce
Also makings of a hallmark movie

I really wanted to like this book. It details the story of a recently divorced mother returning to her roots and finding a second chance at love and reconnecting with her sister. But, it wasn’t strong enough on plot nor character development, which was a bit disappointing.

Thank you Kensington Books and NetGalley for this eARC!

I’ve always meant to read a Marina Adair book and when I saw this ARC available online I had to request it. Once I started reading I very quickly fell in love with the characters and the setting. I could imagine all the shenanigans Poppy, Lily abs GD got up to and couldn’t help rooting for Harley and Teagan. Sweet, not too cheesy and funny, this was exactly what I needed. Will definitely be reading another Adair book!

This was a light hearted read that focused on romance and the rebuilding of a realtionhsip between sisters. I adored the small town beach sitting. The girls were delightful, and I think most moms identify with Tegan about raising kiddos. The romance was okay but nothing spectacular. I have been reading Adair for years and she is always a solid author.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for my review copy.
