The Least Amount of Awful, Definitely Not an Awful Book!

 

If you asked me to describe this book in ten words or less I would say: "It's a Hallmark Movie with benefits."  We have a small town, we have a girl coming from the city in a fancy car, everyone is attractive and has a good job, Jake is a single dad with abs for days, Colbie owns a series of barre studios. Jake is quite rude to Colbie in the beginning, but it is overcome.  The angst level and pining is low in this book.

The main characters are great communicators and Jennifer Millikin is a very good writer, the sex scenes were picture perfect, the right amount of description and heat level. She also ties in the title of the book in a pivotal way throughout the story. 

Overall I enjoyed the book, I did feel that Jake and Emmett (Colbie's dad) were 'too perfect' for me, and Colbie's mom was unsympathetically awful.  But hey this is a romance, and the main story is quite well done. 

4 stars!

We are heading out to see youngest child at college today since she has to work, so I'm not cooking a tasty ham today.  Since I have tomorrow off, I'll be making an Easter Monday dinner. We also have eggs to decorate, which we will do tonight.

Baskets I made for the husband and the boys!

It's going to be nice and warm here this week so I am going to put some lettuce and kale seeds in a couple of containers, place them on the exposed Southern side of our house and cross my fingers. 

I'm in the midst of reading and listening to the books below and will be sharing my thoughts this week.

What are you up to this week?
