This book is one of my comfort books. I read them for the first time last year and immediately fell in love with Jenna and her children, and with Nathan and his little girl, Marley. They are so precious, they really melted my heart, then and now.
If you didn't know, I'm a fan of the single parent trope, and this book fulfilled what I most wanted from a book with this trope - a book where both characters are parents.
Jenna is a single mother of two eight-year-old twins, Olivia and Oliver. She is very strong, loving and understanding. She fell in love from the moment she saw Marley for the first time, and she didn't hesitate to help Nathan.
Nathan is a widowed father of a two-year-old daughter - Marley. He didn't really have a relationship with his daughter, because she was raised more by his parents, but when his father told him it was time to spend time with his daughter, he was lost. He didn't know what she liked and what she didn't like, if she was allergic to something. Effectively, by the time Jenna entered his house, he was lost. I was totally surprised to see how quickly he adapted to life with Jenna and her children in his house, especially since he still feels guilty about his wife's death.
Oliver and Olivia liked Marley and Nathan from the first days. And after some time they already felt like a family. I will never forget Olivia's notebook and how Oliver reacted when he met Nathan's friend, it was hilarious.
If you like the single parent trope, you can trust J. Daniels. Also, the previous book has this trope too, and I highly recommend it.
I can't wait to see what the author has in store for us in her new book.
