Balance Check by M.E. Carter

4.0

Much like the first book, Getting a Grip, I hesitate to call this one a comedy. It is full of wit and snark. Elena and Callie's one-liners were good for a smile and a few chuckles and even though some of the situations that these characters get themselves into were a bit over the top, they did keep the story moving at a nice pace and kept me turning pages to see what they would get in to next. It is a good story and I love that these characters are just regular people trying to find their way. It was also refreshing to read about forty-something adults as opposed to the new adult romances that are so prevalent right now. Elena and Greg face some of the same problems that many of us face or have faced in our own lives - juggling kids and visitation, dealing with difficult exes, and making a happy home for a blended family. The author writes beautifully and tells a story that pulls a reader in and I truly enjoyed this second half of Elena and Greg's love story. I would easily recommend this one to anyone who likes a good everyday romance with some crazy thrown in.
