Review: The Keller's...the next generation
Rating: 4 out of 5

Once I had got my head around the fact that the Keller's and their spouses are no longer my age and are in their fifties and sixties and the Keller kids are now adults, of my age, this was a good read. It's not particularly long, I polished it off in about 3 hours, but if you are a fan of the Keller family, it's unlikely you will be disappointed.The last time we saw Ed, he was 15 years old and starting to help out at his Uncle Zach's company. Time has shifted quite considerably and he's now the 35 year old Vice President...and he's looking for an assistant. After literally bumping into Darcy McCary in Starbucks, he discovers she has applied for the job and she gets it. Sound familiar? If you have read the previous 4 books, you will remember that this was how Zach and Regan met in the first Keller offering,The Executive's Decision (The Keller Family Series)I liked it, but it's not my favourite (Carlos and Maddie's story holds that title). Ed has grown into a good man, he's still sensible and protective, but also successful and knows what he wants. His brother Christian has gone from quiet and shy to becoming a cheeky and witty flirt and I actually liked him more than Ed. And Darcy, she may be 11 years younger than Ed, but she's mature, strong and slots into his close-knit family with ease.In comparison to the previous books the story was pretty predictable, there weren't really any hidden surprises and it was a case of history repeating itself with the storyline of the boss falling in love with his assistant but the entire family are still as loveable and welcoming as they have always been and it was a good read. Clara's story is next and, from the opening chapter we are privy to at the end, it looks promising. But what I'm really looking forward to is Chris' story; personality-wise he stole it for me in this book and we barely scratched his surface.
