Review: Sweet story

I think the author began this story by attempting to build the most stereotypically attractive hero possible.  He owns and operates a construction company so he works hard, but is smart and financially stable.  He's the guardian to his late brother's two young boys so he gets sympathy and the doting father part without the baggage of an ex-wife.  And of course every available woman is drooling over his appearance.  His flaws, past taste in women and lack of shared faith, are barely touched on so how can the reader not want him to get the girl?The heroine, on the other hand, gets off to a rocky start.  A five-year-old is not picked up from school and when she takes him home she hears a baby crying and no one will answer the door.  At this point she grumbles about what a terrible, awful person must be in charge of the kids instead of showing a hint of concern that something might be wrong.This of course sets up the awkward meeting that the main characters need to overcome on their path to romance.  This path is sometimes funny (mostly due to the friend) and sometimes sweet (mostly due to the kids).  While I thought the events occasionally stretched believability, the writing was engaging enough that I didn't mind.  Other than a rushed ending, this is pretty much what you want in escapist fiction.
