Pippa has her hands full raising two six year olds on her own. They are her entire world until a chance meeting with Clay. And their chemistry is HOT. I loved the the hero isn't perfect. He's rough around the edges with a sailor's mouth and an attitude to match. It would take a strong woman to take on his antics, but throughout the story, Pip brings out the best in this rough and tumble hero. And stride for stride, she is every bit as tough as him. She doesn't wait for a man to save her, and Clay wouldn't presume, which is awesome. More female leads could take a lesson or two from Pippa. Clay's emotional growth throughout the book was one of my favorite parts about their love story. Pippa and the kids break his calloused heart open a little more with each encounter, and the way Brocato handles the slow sizzle of their romance is perfect.Brocato's words are like a song, musical, drawing the reader into the story until you are right there with the characters. I teared up in several spots because she has this way of writing sentimentally without manipulating the reader. A difficult balance, and Brocato walks the line effortlessly.I loved the first book in this series, Cooking Up Love, and I've been looking forward to reading Hearts in Harmony in hopes that it would be as good as the first, and it didn't disappoint. Looking forward to more books in this series. I'm hoping Sam will get his day.
