About the book:
Just when you think you’ve met your match . . . the charade begins.
Cassie Everson is an expert at escaping bad first dates. And, after years of meeting, greeting, and running from the men who try to woo her, Cassie is almost ready to retire her hopes for a husband—and children—altogether.
But fate has other plans, and Cassie’s online dating profile catches the eye of firefighter Jett Bentley. In Jett’s memory, Cassie Everson is the unreachable girl-of-legend from their high school days. Nervously, he messages her, setting off a chain of events that forces a reluctant Cassie back into the dating game.
No one is more surprised than Cassie when her first date with Jett is a knockout. But when they both go home and find three children dropped in their laps—each—they independently decide to do the right and mature thing: hide the kids from each other while sorting it all out. What could go wrong?
Melissa Ferguson’s hilarious and warmhearted debut reminds us that love can come in very small packages—and that sometimes our best-laid plans aren’t nearly as rewarding and fun as the surprises that come our way.
My review:
This was such a fun story! I loved that Cassie was an independent woman with a dating escape plan. She was such a wonderful character, so caring about the teens she worked with and a fun, competitive person. I loved Jett, too, I mean who doesn't love a firefighter?! Plus how down to earth he was and how much he cared about the people he helped at his job and about his sister and her kids. There were a lot of funny, laugh-out-loud moments in this story and some wonderful quirky characters, including some funny antics by Jett's brood. I loved that they both wanted the other to love the kids for themselves and not just put up with them. There were a couple moments where they each lied about something and while I understood why they did it, it still bothered me. There were some cute romantic moments and a little bit of action. This story also dealt with some hard things but in a lighter way as Cassie dealt with kids who were in foster care and the girls she took in were abandoned while Jett's sister had a drug problem. They both attended church so there was a faith element to the story. I highly recommend this wonderful romantic comedy!
