Review by: emmeebee on Feb. 19, 2013 :
I didn't really get the importance of Alison keeping her secret a secret - yes, it'd have been awkward and painful announcing to him randomly that she'd lied but it wouldn't have lost her her job. The descriptions of 'simple breakfasts' made me conclude that I have no cooking ability whatsoever (probably partially true) or Alison is really interested in cooking (there is indication that she is interested but I'm not sure how much). I can't help but think it'd be weird for them adjusting to being married rather than to her working for him - will she now get a job elsewhere or will she continue in her job? And his thoughts during a kiss at the end kind of worried me but that kind of thinking appears to be common in novels with romance in them. Still worrying, but it's more a problem with the trend than just with this story. Editing was also a problem at times. Despite these issues - which I put first so I could end on the high note - I really enjoyed the story.

It's nice to read a book that is well written and doesn't contain the smut that is so common in today's writting.

Story is great, writing is in the okay range, definitely needs editing work, for example see excerpt below.

"They never left their hotel room and he couldn’t have thought of a better to spend it then under the learning hands of his new wife."

Wonderful! As goofy as it sounds they def complete each other! Alison is beautiful inside & out & Cole is a mixture of broading & sweet! Worth many more reads. Wish I had a family like his!

There is sooooo much to be said about this book. I couldn't put it down. You fall in love with Cole and his crazy family. You feel for Alison once you get her back story. Would read it multiple times. It's so worth the time spent reading it!!!

Review by: Blanche Elizabeth on July 26, 2011 :
What an adorable and sweet story! I just wish it was a little longer :(. I loved the interaction between the characters, and the optimism of Alison was so touching that you couldn't help but smile. A great story.

I downloaded this book last week and stayed up late to finish it. I love a book that really hits you emotionally, and Ms. Smythe really did that. It's a short, quick read, but to develop the characters and their relationship that well requires great skill. I was very impressed.
