The cover of this book is not very enticing, but what's underneath that covers sure the heck is.  This book made me laugh, sigh, hurt and clench my teeth in frustration and anger.  I am in love with this amazing story!Connell has not had the easiest time raising his family.  They all have walls and scars that keep them safe  If not alone.  Once I heard their back story it all made sense.  Connell is amazing, he didn't have to step up, he didn't have to stick around and he sure as heck didn't have to be the father.  He is the kinda father that makes you believe in good ones.Adam has lived his life footloose and carefree, never thinking about the future, until one day it was in front of his face and it smacked him up side the head.  Adam went from annoying man boy to a phenomenal man and father.At times I wanted to shake Adam and scream at him "What in the hell are you doing you idiot"  other times I wanted to comfort him.Adam saw what he wanted and he didn't give up, when he couldn't have them one way he manned up and took what they would give him.  You literally watch Adam grown into a man in this book.Adam and Connell together are  beautiful, once so distrustful and hurt and the other giving unconditional love and support.  Together they learn to be one each other needs for their sake and for the kids.  They learn how to be a family, and how to be a couple.Adams antics in trying to win over the family had me laughing, their rejection had me hurting, their love had me sighing.  This is without a doubt a story that will touch you.If these guys weren't enough there are these amazing secondary characters that remind you family isn't always blood, it's those who are here for you no mater what.Pete and Lee are so awesome.  I love how they rally around Connell and the kids and how they are family to them.Will, oh Will how I want your story.  Your shenanigans and outrageous behavior had me laughing out loud at work.  For being a carefree bachelor he became one hell of an uncle to those kids.Jody, you need to give him a chance :DLoved, loved this book!!!
