Description

2015 CAROLYN READERS CHOICE AWARD NOMINEE

If only life had a refresh button... Kate Mitchell never planned to be a 31 year-old widowed single mom, but when her soon-to-be-EX husband up and dies, her dreams of finishing college and starting over are thrown in the air like a game of '52 pick-up.' When she's given a leave of absence from work and told to "quit or recommit," Kate retreats to idyllic Sugar Falls, New Hampshire, to figure out whether she can discover her passion and pay the bills. Cue the fresh air, summer sunshine and one sexy local contractor.

Tall, dark, and handy... Volunteer fireman and all-around hunky guy in a toolbelt, Jim Pearson has sworn off complicated women with messy baggage. They cling to his nice-guy stability and skills with a power saw just long enough to straighten out their lives and move on... but then he meets the cute single mom staying at Grams' lake house for the summer.

While a sizzling attraction draws them together, Jim's distrust of complicated women and Kate's incredibly complicated life threaten to pull them apart. But forces beyond their control--match-making grandmothers, the lazy backdrop of summer, and their own reckoning with the past--conspire to make them risk it all... and bet on love.

    This book has it all. Love of family and friends, sadness, suspense, humor and romance. Many passages were insightful and thought provocative. A sweet read.

    Perfect example of how your past doesn’t have to determine your future. Both characters are relatable and have to decide are they brave enough to move forward, or be held back by fear of the unknown. Lots of laughs too with the supporting characters. :)

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book & highly recommend it. The interaction of the characters & the way the family members support each other is heart-warming. Jim & Kate are good, respectful people. I loved the grannies card game. So funny!

    I couldn't put it down! There's nothing as entertaining as meddling, trouble-making, lovable grannies!
