I enjoyed this book! It was so sweet and a little quirky. Annie is an interesting character. I liked that she was smart and had a good career. She was only in Rome, Rhode Island for a short time. Life had thrown her for a loop and she was a little lost. I liked that she was also doing a little soul searching. She didn't need a guy, in fact, she was wanting to be man-free! I found myself laughing out loud at times .... the way in which Annie and Emmitt met especially! Emmitt's world was unique and his friendship/closeness with the men in his life with was an added bonus or complexity at times! But they were his family. And they all embraced Annie. There were things Emmitt wasn't able to hide from Annie and their chemistry was palpable. I enjoyed their budding relationship. I liked how they fit in each others lives! This book was complex, fun and gave me the feels. Don't let this book pass you by!
“Marina Adair is a breath of fresh air. . . . Don't miss a word from this magnificent author!"
—New York Times bestselling author Darynda Jones
Growing up the lone Asian in a community of WASPs, Annie has always felt out of place. Her solution? Start a family of her own. Not easy when every man she’s dated, including her ex-fiancé, finds “his person” right after breaking up with Annie. Even worse than canceling the wedding eight weeks beforehand? Learning the “other woman” plans to walk down the aisle wearing her wedding gown. New plan—find a fresh, man-free start. Too bad her exit strategy unexpectedly lands her working at a hospital in Rome, Rhode Island, rather than Rome, Italy, and sharing a cabin with a big, brooding, and annoyingly hot male roommate.
Home on medical leave after covering a literally explosive story in China, investigative photojournalist Emmitt embarks on his most important assignment—cementing his place in his daughter’s life. Three men and a baby might work in the movies, but with a stepdad and devoted uncle competing for Paisley’s attention, Emmitt has lost his place at the family table. Then there’s the adorably sexy squatter in his cabin, who poses another problem, one he’d very much like to solve up close and personal. But he can’t win—Annie has sworn off men, Paisley’s gone boy crazy, and Emmitt’s estranged father reappears with a secret that changes everything.
Annie and Emmitt are about to discover love comes in many forms, and sometimes the best families are the ones we make.
Praise for Marina Adair
