The morning of disasters wasn't over for Mia Windsor! Her air conditioning had died, her internet was no longer working, and her glass of water was over herself and the paperwork on her desk! Then in walked stiff, uptight and arrogant Kade Reid, with little Tilly, shy, quiet and scared, and as a consequence of everything, Mia was totally unprepared for Kade's announcement.Mia was a speech pathologist working in the outback of Australia, and in mid-summer the heat was unbearable. So when she discovered her mentor in Sydney had told Kade she would be able to live on his family property, Berrilea, for two weeks to work with newly orphaned Tilly, she was horrified. But she was determined to do everything in her power to overcome her dislike of the officious Kade to help his delightful niece.Tilly's uncle appeared to be terrified of her, he seemed unable to show affection and when Tilly went to hug him, he stiffened uncomfortably. Mia could see she would need to work on Kade as well as Tilly, and force her way through his armour, and his mantra that money and work were everything in life.Watching Mia working with Tilly through play, and slowly but surely having success was wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was beautifully told, the characters were extremely likeable, (even Kade) and the outcome delightful.This is the second book I have read by Aussie author Alissa Callen, and I highly recommend her as an author to follow.
