Extended description

Maddie is single but wants a family more than anything. When she discovers the four year old twins hiding in her yard, her heart swells and opens up to them. She befriends the children and their single father, and she is more than happy to accomodate when he needs help. She learns that he is engaged and the twins don’t like his fiancée and vice versa. Growing up in a loveless atmosphere of dysfunction, Maddie knows the pain of not being loved, so she lavishes affection on the children. It is only when she learns that Adam has set the date for his wedding does she realize the painful truth that she has fallen in love with the twins’ father. She is not the only one with a broken heart. Shayla and Shawn are crushed by the fact that they may not ever see Maddie again. Using their four-year-old logic, they resort to drastic measures; but a Christmas Eve wedding is planned in spite of their efforts.

3 stars overall (for me, 3 stars means I liked the book and was satisfied), BUT 5 stars for a tender, heart-felt read and very satisfying happy ending. If you like a happy ending, this book is for you! Sweet, fun & quick read with a lot of tender moments. I wish there had been more "falling in love" scenes, but the reader definitely falls in love with the characters. I wasn't happy with the occasional internal dialog ending in (shut up), but I know what this was meant to do. It worked in a way, but it was so abrupt and rather out of the book's style that it was too jarring. Really great & heartfelt story. Really enjoyed it! Looking forward to reading more books by Carole McKee!
