JD Hewlitt the guitarist for struggling band Wilder just found out he's a father of a 5 year old girl.  He meets Kelsey Conklin when he and his daughter Andi are in Target and Andi throws the mother of all tantrums.  Kelsey helps out and thinks nothing more about it until the realize they are neighbors.  JD and Kelsey slowly get to know each other over the next several months as she helps him cope with new parenthood and he helps her come out of her shell after greiving the tragic death of her mentally ill brother.The death and mental health subjects are dealt with the sensitivity they deserve and the nice slow build up from friendship to lovers is a pleasant change from the novellas that I've been reading lately.More often than not I find the whole big misunderstanding plot device incredibly annoying but it totally worked for these hurting and flawed characters.  The Hero and heroine are really likeable and I found myself rooting for them all the way through.  This is a sweet romance that has me wanting to pick up the next book in the series to see what happens to lead singer (and JD's brother) TJ.
