One of his daughters has a mild allergic reaction and he chooses to not inform Naomi about it. These are things a mother needs to know!! Does no one have compassion for this woman who is exasperated trying her best to keep her daughter safe and healthy when her co-parent won't even inform her of medical issues? Daddy.” The voice was a little louder now, and I recognized it—my five-year-old, Luna. “We heard you snoring.” He regrets his time in the Navy and I admire that his children were his top priority. I have to say Hallie and Luna stole the show for me. They were very funny and just a beacon. So energetic and he made me laugh in every scene. Dex was a wonderful, caring, playful father, and that was enough for him.

Dex is the grumpy, ex Navy SEAL, firefighter single dad who just moved in next door. And he’s sexy to boot. How can a girl like Winnie resist that? Okay.” Hallie grabbed her sister’s arm and dragged her off the bed. “Come on, let’s go down and start sorting everyone’s presents into piles.” Okay this girl is 22. As a fellow 21 year old girl I would say that I am capable of choosing who I want to date rn. It was kinda wholesome and I truly felt like the hero and heroine had chemistry. ( Towards the end it got really cheesy but I managed to overlook it) Both leads were likeable as individuals but even better together. The girls rolled their eyes and leaned down toward Winnie’s stomach. “Don’t worry, baby,” Hallie said sweetly. “He’s not grumpy all the time. Just sometimes.”During the day: If you have a flexible schedule, you may find it helpful to take breaks during the day to read a book. Just after eight, I hustled the girls out the door, slightly behind schedule. As anxious as they were to move into the new place, they could dawdle like it was an Olympic sport. Luna gasped and covered her matted blond curls with her hands. “No! Last time, you made it uneven and Mom yelled at me because I’m not supposed to have gum. And you were supposed to know that.” It when a man holds his woman’s hands down… and Dex does this plenty of times 😉🔥🥵. Even the chasing scene *chef’s kiss* 💁🏻‍♀️😈🔥. I see you Dex. I see you 😉🥵😅.

Winnie opened her arms and the girls came rushing over to where we sat on the couch. “Thank you,” she said, squeezing them both. I gave them each a hug too, but my throat was still too tight for words. The best time to read a book depends on your personal schedule and preferences. Here are some suggestions: The 34 vs 22 age gap plot left me scratching my head, mostly because they both acted like teenagers. Winnie’s 22 and we’re supposed to believe she’s lived long enough to swear off relationships? Riiight. I loved this romance so much. Dex is the grumpy single dad next door who adores his daughters to pieces but thinks he’s too old for Winnie and not a good relationship guy because of his previous marriage. Winnie’s relationships with Dex’s daughters is the sweetest and I loved how they had a role in Winnie & Dex’s relationship too. Lots of cute cats in here: Piglet and Freddie Purrcury. Winnie has a lot in common with Dex’s daughters and could relate to them so easily, she was also raised by a single dad who was a former military man (her dad was marines) and swore a lot around his daughters (the swear jar fund was adorable). Dex & Winnie have lots of steamy times out on their patios and in the kitchen, he wants to take care of her and keep her safe, a smoke detector going off leads to a hilariously embarrassing moment, and he even can sew and fixes up her dress after ripping it off her earlier in the night. 🔥 And by this time next year, we would have another child to love. I’d get to watch Hallie and Luna be big sisters. I’d get to witness all the milestones I’d missed before. And I had Winnie to thank for everything.

Customer reviews

This one broke the mould. Ok, so maybe it didn’t really break it but I enjoyed it a lot nonetheless. He says he's not gentle, and he's right. He says I should take the dream job I'm offered in another state, and he's right. He says he's too old for me and could never be the man I deserve. Right, and we shouldn’t just assume our time zone is the right one,” Hallie went on. “That’s rude. Other people’s time zones are just as good as ours.” Nothing happened, of course–because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. This was something special, this was something different, this was what love songs were written about. This was it."

The best way to describe it is: I could totally see this couple, five years down the line, getting an amicable divorce. They were not soulmates, they didn’t give me ‘forever’ vibes.

Cherry Tree Harbor Series: Runaway Love, Hideaway Heart He says he wants to do the right thing, but I’m not about to spend the rest of my life feeling like someone settled for me. Listen, girls.” I yawned loudly. “Moving into the new house is exciting, but I promise it’s still going to be that way once the sun comes up, so let’s try to get a little more shut-eye.”To start?” I said, reaching out to tug one of her braids. “Listen, this is it. Enjoy your one baby. After this apple, store’s closed.” Pulling away slightly, she looked up at me, her grin wide. “Should we go down? I can’t wait another minute. I’m too excited.” My new neighbor is a firefighter-- and a scorching hot single dad--but I swear I didn't set off that smoke alarm on purpose. After the snow melts, I’m left with more than just memories of the night we spent keeping each other warm. And he might be a rising star on the culinary scene, but he’s got no idea how to handle this bun in the oven. Excited for the story of Ellie and Chef Gianni Lupo who also appeared on Ignite.
