I preordered this book and, as promised, it was waiting for me bright and early on my Kindle this morning. I just finished it and must say it was worth every penny. I discovered the Cost of Repairs  series a couple of months ago and have read the first three books, each focusing on different characters and their primary relationships.  Rey and Sam, the couple in this fourth novel were the focus couple in the first book in the series. It is now eighteen months later.  It was great to see the progress in their relationship and have a bird's eye view as they grow their family and their relationships.  The fact that the book occurred during the Christmas season was a bonus at it was released during the Christmas season so it made a great read in the week leading up to Christmas.  It was also fun to revisit other characters, previously focus characters themselves. The small town, cozy atmosphere of the books appeals to my sensibilities.Ms. Arthur writes well and she nailed the issues that would come up when a previously childless couple are suddenly joined by a child and need to make the necessary adjustments to their previously adults only household.  She seemed to also nail the adjustment a seven year old would need to make under the circumstances in the story.I look forward to further books in this series.
