SO GOOD!!
Whitney and Wyatt were neighbors for years. They never crossed any lines and all their interactions were reasonable and purposeful. One night everything changes.
In the blink of an eye, Whitney becomes the sole caretaker for 3 kids - her niece and two nephews. This was the last thing she wanted or expected. She had no idea what to do but knew she needed to make her sister proud by respecting her wishes and taking the kids. Wyatt instantly jumps in to help. Being from a family of 9 siblings, the chaos was nothing new to him. His childhood also convinced him that he never wanted a family of his own. When he meets the 3 kids, he can't stay away. He helps Whitney in any way he can and soon he becomes apart of their daily life.
I was rooting for Whitney and Wyatt from the start! They were the perfect balance for each other. Where Whitney was wild, Wyatt was calm. Where Whitney was frantic, Wyatt was collected. I loved their dynamic and them together. Watching Wyatt interact with Whitney and the kids was so heartwarming. You could see how much he cared about them.
As their relationship begins to grow, both of them start to have questions about what the other person wants. It is hard to be in a vulnerable situation so they just keep going as normal. Soon, they can't ignore it and they need to figure out the next steps. But will Wyatt suddenly want a family after being convinced he never did? Can Whitney be open enough to let Wyatt into her life? Time will tell.
UGH I loved this book! I loved the pacing and the overall story. The characters were so well done and I couldn't stop reading. Loved this book and want to continue with this small town and see what else is to come for our other characters.
