Ok, oddly written characters the primary was way too touchy-feely.

Well, I couldn't help but see a little of Jory and Sam in Nate and Dreo, but this was less of a wild ride into chaos. I love how balanced Nate was, and the possessiveness in Dreo was scorching. I wanted more of their relationship though, but its not much of a complaint.
Thank you Mwana for steering me towards this one :D

This was fun! Unbelievable and kinda ridiculous at times but still fun in a typical Mary Calmes way :)
I can see myself revisiting this story as a comfort book and it doesn't hurt that Sean Crisden did a great job narrating this book.

I liked this story well enough but I didnt really connect with the characters for some reason. It was well structured and flowed nicely along.
The story premise of neighbours meeting through the 'shared' care of ones nephew was OK. And over 4 years, there has been contact, though minimal, between Nate and Dreo. I thought Nate was too good to be true - he was almost like a benevolent god bestowing good fortune on all he passed. As well as perhaps being naive to the workings of an 'Italian family'. I cant think of much to say about Dreo, which says a lot about how I didnt connect in with this story!
So for me, a bit too rose tinted glasses and insta love/capitulation.

A nice story, with nice characters and a nice ending. Just a few grains off being syrupy sweet and yet another Jory doppelganger. Pleased I got this on Overdrive and didn't have to pay for it - not one of my favourites.
3.5 stars that just scrapes to 4 for GR
