This was a quirky romance story and a fast read. The story involves a single mother of two becoming a construction worker, she falls in love with her boss, a crazy aunt, a dog who eats everything (I have one of those), and throw in a neighborhood flasher. If you are looking for a funny fast read, then this is one for you.
Surprisingly enough I loved this book! I'm not a Janet Evanovich fan, or should I say I'm not a Stephanie Plum fan, so I was leery of reading anything by Ms. Evanovich. However, I'm so glad that I did because like I said I loved this story. This is a seriously cute love story. It reminds me of Maureen Child's Marconi Sisters trilogy. Same writing style, a quick read, instant lust between hero and heroine, humorous and flirty.
Matt Hallahan is a great guy who really needs a family - his sucks as did his childhood. Lizabeth has ready-made family with two boys and needs a man in her life but doesn't want to admit it. The courtship is sweet and Matt really has lots and lots of patience which he definitely needs especially when the dog keeps stealing dinner. Cute cute cute, need I say more?
Typical JE - cute romance with funny moments.
