Book review: A VERY GRUMPY FATHER’S DAY, by Kayley Loring

Very Holiday #4

Declan & Maddie again

 It’s short, it’s sweet, it’s funny and very hectic.  Declan and Maddie are married and have a 10-month baby girl Ciara.  They’re very happy and very much in love with their baby.  But, their life is very busy and they have been several weeks unable to be together to have sexy times.  And it’s making Declan grumpier than normal and Maddie more frustrated, both with her high-maintenance husband and the over forty unpacked boxes from their recent move to the Upper East Side. 

Their quest to find a slot of time to have mommy and daddy alone time, and to find someone available to babysit baby Ciara is hilarious.  Declan is super protective and not everyone is qualified to babysit his baby.  

This story was as charming as it was funny and I had a great time reading it.  I love a story that shows a couple years after they HEA and I loved seeing this couple as passionate for each other as they were in their book.  Declan continues to be a grump but he’s adorable with his baby.  It’s pretty much guaranteed he’ll be putty in her hands in the future.  And when Billy is included in the brothers and cousins shenanigans, much havoc is guaranteed to happen! Fun times!

Book review: FATED, by Carly Phillips

 

Serendipity #4

Kate & Nick

Short and sweet and wonderful, as I always expect from Carly Phillips.  The couple in this story was a surprise for me, Faith’s high school best friend Kate and her high school ex-boyfriend Nick!  Kate has always had a thing for Nick.  Two things hold her back, a past college heartbreak and the fact that when Faith came back to town, Nick tried to pick up their relation back.  

Now Faith is happy with Ethan Barron, and Nick is constantly inviting Kate out and she constantly refuses.  How to get these two together at last? 

The story evolves fast, we get to revisit with Faith, Ethan and Tess, there’s a beautiful remodeled cabin involved and some plot concocted by Faith and Nick.  The cabin is important because it gives insights into Nick’s character, he’s thorough and detailed and patient.  As I read the book, I realized these two were perfect for each other.

Romantic and fun and a fast read, loved it.  Now I can’t wait for Dare’s story!
