While I have read the BTTW series by Lolah Lace and can't wait for the next installment, I found this short gem by her and squealed with delight to have something to tide me over. This writer has a nack for unconventional stories and characters. This slightly sad story of how Lukas and Nicki got together is rather sweet. Lukas is a blue collar business owner, suffering from the untenable grief of losing a child. Nicki is a tough business woman, with a sharp tongue, and a cute little girl. Their meeting and initial joining is unexpected, and the love they find comes off as organic yet clearly colored by Lukas's emotional issues. The ending was a twist I did not expect, and the honest emotions that Lukas had no trouble exhibiting really endeared me to this book, and to him as a character. I would have given this book 5 stars, but there are some editing issues. Outside of that, this is a good read, and I really enjoyed it.
