Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 1, 2014
My rating: 5 of 5 starsMelting Into You by Tracey Alvarez is the second book in her Due South series. This story focuses on Ben, the brother to Piper from the first book and Kezia, the close friend of Piper.Kezia is a widowed single mother. He daughter Zoe is 8 and the sole focus and purpose in Kezia's life. Zoe is in remission from Leukemia and Kez doesn't take a moment for granted.Ben is a single guy with absolutely no desire to settle, date, get serious, or have kids. That is until a fling from 9 years ago shows up on his doorstep with his 8-year old daughter.Left to struggle with becoming an insta-parent Ben enlists the help of his neighbor and parent of the only other child of like age near by. Kez is shocked by the mother's behavior, and tries her hardest to assist Ben in getting to know his daughter Jade and help him become a better parent.Somewhere along the way these two start to fall for each other. It's almost painful how many times they (mostly Ben) blunder, but it' s a beautifully told story of falling in love, becoming a parent, and being true to yourself. I can't wait to read more from this author and in this series. Impatiently awaiting book three in this series.
