The main reason I got this book (free, thank God) was because I thought the cover was really cute. Yeah I realize that's not the best incentive but whatever, lol. The whole story fell flat for me. The "heroine" is a younger version of Martha Stewart that's supposedly much more likable and someone that people can easily relate to. The "hero" is an author of kids adventure books and is damaged by the death of a loved one and oh yeah he has writers block. Their initial meeting needless to say does not go well. Without giving anything away I just thought the book was blah. Everything happens so fast and I totally missed when they fell in love. I thought maybe that I'd missed a page or two by mistake or something but when I scrolled back on my kindle I realized I hadn't. It was just so wham! bam! that is was unrealistic (especially for a single mother and closed off man), unbelievable, implausible and...there are just not enough words to describe just how fast everything happened. It was like the author had a set amount of pages to write and didn't want to write more than she had to. Maybe if the relationship (if you can call it that) had been fleshed out and if several more chapters had been written, the ending wouldn't have seemed to tacked on and forced.I would not recommend this book.
