Earlier this summer, I fell in love with Andy while devouring the Cranberry Inn Series and Viper's Heart. Andy is a single dad, the best friend, and an overall good guy that melted my heart. I couldn't wait to finally have his story. I enjoyed this book, but didn't love as much as the other books featuring Brody, Viper.
What I adored most in this book was the relationship between Andy and his kiddos. He's such a caring dad. Like any parent, he has moments of imperfections and his struggles as a single working father tugged on my heart strings. However, you never doubt his devotion and love for his children.
Danicka is a tough heroine and makes a perfect addition to the Cranberry family. I appreciate how she is career focused and intelligent. Her interactions with the kids are also priceless. She appears to be the perfect balance for Andy, but the actual buildup of their relationship was a little flat. I didn't feel the emotional pull that was so prevalent with Brody and Viper's books. Sometimes it felt as if I was being told about events instead of experiencing them through Andy or Dani's eyes. Also, I liked the suspense element, but the person/s involved didn't feel believable, despite the explanations.
Even with a few flaws, this is a solid addition the Cranberry family. I loved seeing Brody, Kacie, Viper, Michelle, and all the kiddos. I am crossing my fingers there are more books in the future. I can't get enough of these characters and recommend The Cranberry Inn Series and connected books to any romance fan.
