Tina's Reading Books

Cassie James is a single mom and Ethan Quinn is a widower. Having acknowledged how difficult it is to do things as a single parent, the two decide to act as activity partners for school functions for their kids. As they get to know each other and their lives and the lives of kids begin to blend, their friendship starts to grown into something more serious.

This was a sweet book. Very sweet. Almost too sweet at times. I like a bit more edge to my characters. They had no real internal conflict. The book just sorta coasted along. However, that doesn't mean there was no conflict. No, Cassie had a stalker. And there went an entire star for me.

Again, I read a book where a stalker comes out of the woodwork to harass our intrepid heroine so our hero can get protective. I am so over stalkers. Seriously, in the course of my life I have known about 300 women personally and well and not a single one of them has ever had a stalker. They've had bad boyfriends and husbands, they've had awful bosses, they've had female frenemies who'd cut a bitch in no time flat, they've had road ragers who yell at them from the safety of their own cars,-- but not a single stalker in the pile. So why is it that every second book I pick up the heroine has some guy with a big wall of crazy dedicated to her in his basement?

But that aside, this was a pleasant read. I know sometimes it is difficult to find a good IR book that doesn't flow too far over in the erotica area. This one doesn't get at all close. This is a solid friends-to-lovers book with a goodly dose of charming children thrown in.
