Totally LOVED this book. It is the story of a Circuit court Judge Luke Avery, who lost the love of his life and is left to raise their three year old Daughter Emma. His wife and best friend were killed in a car accident on their way to the airport. He is focused on being newly appointed to the courts and Raising Emma. He isn't looking for love but his precious daughter falls immediately for Candy Store owner Lanie Heaven.Lanie also has not been looking for anyone to love. Her one and only relationship not only ended badly, it left her feeling inadequate in bed, and devastated with loss. She is very taken with little Emma, believing she could never have children. Lanie has been faking a love interest to help keep well meaning friends from playing matchmaker with her. Besides having a Big Heart Lanie has Fantastic friends that any girlfriend would love to have.I can not leave a review without talking about Emma. What a true Gem! She is just so precious. Loved and laughed so hard at the scene at church on Easter Sunday between Father & Daughter. She sounds like a true handful but only in the best of ways. I also found it very endearing the way the author wrote from the prospective of a three year olds thinking and logic. I found myself totally understanding how a three year old would think some things.Of course there are struggles, challenges etc. but I really enjoyed this story and look forward to more from these two authors. Well Done!
