3.5/4 stars
Overall this was an enjoyable, easy read. I found it really easy to relate to Claire and her struggles. I really enjoyed her growth throughout the novel. I had mixed feeling about Wyatt and Wyatt & Claire's relationship. I felt like the prior was a bit too rushed. Despite that I really did like this book.

I bought the kindle package with all 3 books, and read them all this week. I fell in love with the sisters and their family! Not every book can make me cry. Sometimes I really hate the sappy books. But I LOVE Susan Mallery books! I gave all three books 5 stars, because that's how much I enjoyed them. I didn't get much housework done this week. :)

Really hated how this started but the ending was much better. Didn't care much for Nicole and don't know how Claire had the patience to deal with the abuse from her siblings as well as everyone in town. I enjoyed Claire bonding with Amy and watching Wyatt fall on love with her. But too many assumptions on his part rubbed me the wrong way. Claire seemed more like a doormat desperate for any love anyone would give her. I really hope Nicole and Jesse get better personalities or I don't see myself enjoying their books very much.

This writer is so prolific, and I have to wonder if it's because of her ability to crank out books filled with flat characters, overdramatic plotlines, and forced mystery masquerading as suspense. I'm only leaving a review because this book and these characters really had potential; instead, it had a heavy reliance cheap twists, deliberate misunderstandings (where no one seems to listen), constant overreactions, and a bunch of dramatic speeches.
It just made me mad. Not so mad that I DNF'd it, but it was close.

Good story, slightly annoying characters, but it gets better. Nice easy lighter read.

Felt like if I wasn't delevoping such a huge dislike for Nicole, the sister, I could have liked this book more. Plus, I wished there was more of the h/h than there was, because I really liked them both.

I love Claire and I love that despite what people say about her, she tries to learn new things to better herself; she embraces her strength and learns how to do things for herself. I love that she was persistent and that she didn't give up with Nicole, despite Nicole being rude to her all the time. She learned how to work at the bakery and excelled at it after she learned. I love how excited she was about the baby and how she didn't let Wyatt's negative and hurtful reaction get her down. I thought it was so adorable that Amy was the one who helped her to overcome her panic attacks when playing the piano for large crowds, and she goes to a club and plays to help with it, too.
I wanted to beat Wyatt when he was mean to Claire, and I hated when he freaked out about the baby and being her first time. I did love him, though; he was a loyal, determined, strong guy. I love, though, that Nicole and Drew had to be the reasonable ones with him about him, Claire, and the baby. Also, I loved when he went to New York with Amy to see Claire play and groveled to get her back.
I wanted to hurt Nicole so many times throughout the book, especially in the beginning, but I'm glad she finally made up with Claire and they were able to be friends. I did feel very bad for her about what happened with Drew and Jesse, though.
I absolutely loved Amy; she was totally adorable. It was unexpected that she was deaf but I thought it was cool that she was learning speech, lip reading, and teaching Claire sign language. I loved when she went shopping with Claire and was leading her all around the store, picking out clothes for her.
I didn't like Jesse at all, the little bitch. I hated that she was never really sorry about anything that happened with Drew and the cakes. It didn't even seem like she was that sorry that she hurt Nicole in the process either.
I loved this book, though, and I am looking forward to reading Nicole's book.
