Publisher's summary

After her father loses the family fortune in an insider-trading scheme, single mom Parker Welles is faced with some hard decisions. First order of business: go to Gideon's Cove, Maine, to sell the only thing she now owns-a decrepit house in need of some serious flipping. When her father's wingman, James Cahill, asks to go with her, she's not thrilled . . . even if he is fairly gorgeous and knows his way around a toolbox.

Having to fend for herself financially for the first time in her life, Parker signs on as a florist's assistant and starts to find out who she really is. Maybe James isn't the glib lawyer she always thought he was. And maybe the house isn't the only thing that needs a little TLC.

Good story but…

I struggled to like the leading lady Parker. It is always difficult to embrace a story when you don’t like the main character(s). I love Kristen Higgins story telling style though!

I just loved this sweet love story!

I’m a fan of Kristan Higgins and have enjoyed many of her stories but the narrator was not as good as Xe Sands.

Loved the story not the narration.

Kristin Higgins made me laugh again! She make our humanness humorous!

I did not like the way the narrator portrayed the men’s voices. Women that were strong character voices in previous books sounded weak. Actually, I guess overall the characters, with exception of Parker, sounded like country bumpkins! Hard to listen that portrayal.

Predictable

I usually love this author and I loved the earlier book. But this one was so predictable that I almost stopped listening. The narrator was too dramatic and nasal and difficult to listen to.

The story was good

The story was good, but had to struggle through the narration, her voice was like nails on a chalkboard…

Best Story of the Series and Worst Narrator!

I enjoyed this final story in the series and would have liked it even better if the narrator hadn't been such a turn-off. What was the purpose of that whiny, scratchy (hard to describe), irritating delivery? I wanted to give up but persevered because I managed to get involved in the story and invested in the characters. I'm glad that I stayed to the end.

Always a good one!

Kristan Higgins has become one of my favorite authors, by far. I find my self laughing and crying in just about all her stories. Her heros are always the best. Her stories are always filled with so much entertainment that I can never put them down. This is no exception. If I was to tell the author anything it would be to have more dialog between the hero and heroine only because its always so good. You won't go wrong with any of Higgins books.
