This book has become a definite favorite, one of those feel-good stories that I can turn to when I desperately need to be cheered up. There's plenty to stretch credibility here, but what can I say, I love it all, including the cute kids and puppies, which I found sweet without crossing the line into sugary.Basically, I just loved the whole set-up. I have a weakness for stories about creating a family, which is an ongoing theme of Cartwright's, and one of the reasons her works are so enjoyable. The story definitely has a certain fairy-tale quality.  Brandon is such a great guy--trying to do the right thing by two orphaned kids without a clue how to do it.  His selection of the "fashionista"  up-and-coming, hot-shot agent to be his parenting partner is just too priceless.  But at heart Angel is a family man, devoted to his mama, loyal, caring and someone who just has a way with kids.  His heated debates with 6-year-old Marisa over her color choice and "fashion disasters" and whether Shrek 2 is a good movie left me feeling warm and fuzzy. Ditto the dogs named Dolce and Gabbana.And the chemistry between him and Brandon is hot--Brandon is an alpha, no doubt about it, but he's met his match with his prima donna, who will always give as good as he gets.So the bottom line is I am a complete and total sucker for this book, I've read it three times already and I will keep rereading it as long as I have bad days and a working Kindle to take them away.
