This wasn’t bad. I think I had picked up a book by this author before that I didn’t finish. But I was too intrigued by the summary of this book to pass this up. And I’m glad I didn’t. In this, we meet Heather and her precious little 4 year old adopted daughter Ava. Ava has lost her beloved stuffed animal Wolfie. Heather goes so far as to put out a social media announcement about the lost toy. The toy is found by widower Sebastian who is suffering on the 5th anniversary of the death of his wife and unborn child. He almost throws Wolfie away but his mother manages to convince him to return it in person. He does and he and Heather are instantly attracted to each other. But it’s not that easy for them. No. They both play the push and pull game for most of the book. They both have so many issues and so much baggage. Sebastian fears he can never be the man he used to be. Heather has abandonment issues and tends to cut someone off at a first mistake before they have the chance to leave her. But both learn to be better for the other. This is a pretty sweet and sometimes funny little romance that I ended up enjoying. I guess the other books in the series will be his brothers also finding love and I can’t wait to see who they end up with. ( )

I have to admit, I have mixed feelings about this book. I was very intrigued with the first chapter of the book and then very confused when it switched characters. I thought the book was going to be about Judy only it wasn't. I couldn't figure out who the characters were or how the story tied together. That left me a little frustrated. Especially, as neither were a Corisi which I had assumed would be what this series was about.

The story between Heather and Sebastian was cute. It felt rushed at times and I wanted it fleshed out more on their growth but I can see potential in this series. ( )
