A SWEET AND LOVELY JOURNEY
Format: Kindle
These characters were so much fun. The story flowed beautifully with a strong love and a sweet little boy, who sometimes was a holy terror. My only child was a boy and I could relate to adding another “mom” to our family. That little boy is now, himself, a grandfather (Poppy) to three sweet kids.

Heartwarming and adorable
Format: Kindle
It's not often that I cry happy tears but damnit this book made me well up at the end. I adored every single word of this story. It was just adorable and both women are so so sweet and while it wasn't angst free none of the angst came from miscommunication or anything cliche. This was just a great time from start to finish. I lost sleep to read and I have no regrets.
