4.5 stars.
This story was even better than book 1. It was a "tying up of loose ends" or dealing with unfinished business kind of book.
Couple 1: Sarah and Cooper were still in the "not fully committed" category thanks to Sarah's trust issues. Pressures at work and a blast from Cooper's past forced the couple to confront their issues and finally define their relationship. It was definitely surprising to see the man in the relationship asking the "is it me? Why won't you commit to me?" kind of questions. But they were a great couple and their chemistry was so believable. I knew their journey wouldntbe seamless but I knew Sarah would come around eventually. I loved what Cooper's ex Bridget brought to this equation. It made this story even better.

Couple 2: Gina and Mac are the real deal, so I wasn't concerned when Mac's ex wife Cee Jay returned to town to reclaim her family after 10 years. I loved how Aunt Lou, Gina, Mac and the kids dealt with this emotional shock. I loved how Gina proactively dealt with Ashley's meltdown and the strength it took girls her to confront her past.

This book further developed the characters we meet in book 1 and demonstrated the authors writing wasn't a fluke. Robyn Carr brought the heat and emotion and humor once again. What a heart warming series. This series is shaping up to be one of my favorites. I've already got audiobook 3 because I'm so stoked about the hero in that book.
