Helpful Score: 3
For as long as she can remember, Honor has been in love with her best friend and sometimes sex buddy, Brogan. She finally decides to take charge and confront Brogan only to be rejected. To top things off not long after he rejects Honor, he falls head over heels in love with her best gal pal, Dana.
Englishman, Tom Barlow, lost his fiancé to a tragic accident. Having no parental rights over her teenage son, Charlie, he has been forced to take a few hours here and there when his grandparents want to get rid of him as the boy no longer seems to love him like he used to. When his work visa isnt going to be renewed he decides to meet Honor in the hopes that she will be his bride so he can stay near his stepson.
I am really on the fence about this book. There are things I loved, and things I hated. First, Tom. I alternated between loving his character one moment to finding him stab-worthy. He could be so kind, his devotion to his stepson alone won my heart but then the way he treated Honor and some of the things he did and said made me want to stab him in his wishy washy heart!
There were too many characters that I couldnt stand; Dana, Brogan, Charlies real dad and the creepy Grandma. And in the instance with the creepy Grandma, it just didnt need to be. I kept thinking somehow her creepy habit was going to be tied in with Charlies moodiness, but it wasnt. I would have enjoyed less annoyances and more funnies and loveable characters.
The book has the crazy laugh out loud antics from the Holland family I love them. Prudence and her over the top sexcapades with her husband crack me up. Her knack for over sharing and horrifying her siblings and children is hilarious.
While this certainly hasnt been my favorite Kristan Higgins reads I still enjoyed it. I just had more personal issues with this one than usual. I cant wait to read the next book and find out whats happening with everyone.
