A Simple Life by Melanie Moreland
4.0
While the dialogue is a little awkward in places, overall Moreland’s newest is just the sweetest. Very low angst, with the biggie being obvious (a tad unrealistic) but very satisfying, and full of all sorts of feels as John & Quinn go from fussing with each other to fighting their attraction. It all may come from some assumptions and tender feelings, but with a little patience and communication, and the adoration of a little girl, they eventually figure it all out.
And oh do I love Abby, Quinn’s daughter. She’s one of those kids who is adorable and funny but not overly precocious to the point of being unbelievable. She’s definitely in some of the best moments of the story. Especially between her and John.
John lets his past impact how he views Quinn and once his story comes out you can understand why he might be a bit sensitive. Once he gets over his initial reaction, he throws himself into wooing both Quinn and her daughter. He might not think that he’s romantic but he’s good at being there, caring, and helping where he’s needed. He brings out the little girl in Abby and shows Quinn what it’s like to be appreciated.
A Simple Life is a simple story of two people who meet and, eventually, fall in love. There’s a good dose of heart and a decent amount of steam and a ton of cuteness. It’s a pretty easy read with an enjoyable progression to a nice HEA ending.
