A grumpy former bodyguard, an heiress in disguise, and an accidental roommate situation…
If I’d known a tall, broad mountain of a man would crash the one-bedroom cabin I’m borrowing, I might have handled things differently.
I still would’ve lied to him. He doesn’t need to know all of my reasons for wanting to meet my surprise triplet half brothers while undercover as a housekeeper.
But if I’d known I was going to have a surprise roommate, I wouldn’t have rigged a homemade security system in the cabin that left him…erm… Let’s just call it easy to spot in a crowd.
And he wouldn’t have tried to blackmail me when he figured out my real identity.
And I wouldn’t have been so attracted to his audacity that I started looking deeper at the wounded man beneath the gruff exterior.
And then we wouldn’t be here, with him making me scream his name for all of the good reasons every night.
But I can’t keep faking Cinderella forever, and when it’s time for me to come clean, he’ll have to choose—loyalty to my half brothers or belief in me and the noble reason for the long game I’ve been playing.
Faking Cinderella is a swoony romcom featuring a mountain of a man with an even bigger wounded heart and an heiress determined to right a wrong. This opposites attract, secret identity romance stands alone and comes with a sweetly satisfying happily ever after.

Small Town Sisterhood Series, Book 3 and the conclusion.
Narrated by Ryan West and Maxine Mitchell
Approximate Listening time : 10 hours and 59 Minutes

Pippa Grant can write a rom-com like no other. This series has been a favorite of mine since book 1. Each story is totally different and interconnected is some way but you can read as a standalone. My opinion is to read in order and you will understand all of the lute easter eggs that Pippa loves to throw into her books. Here are a few spoiler free scenes of why I loved this book so much. but it is only a little taster because this book was absolutely brilliant.
-The meet cute of between Reese and Margo was absolutely hilarious. WE have hair dye, flowers and a skillet that will have you doubled over.
-The triplets...Lucky, Jack and Decker. Their banter is out of this world funny. not only with margo but with each other. imagine the 3 stooges and their antics plus throw in pipes funny writing and you get a good idea of the hilarity that comes from these three.
-Between Margo's real family.....they are horrible by the way and the found family that spans over the 3 books....Let's just say that this series is a favorite for this trope.
-Margo and daphne's relationship is the thing we look for in a sister. They are each others best friends but truly are amazing sisters together and will walk through fire for one another.
-Reese and Margo together are fire. Their relationship developed over the entire book and I loved how Pippa made them work for their HEA. Even though they both have terrible pasts, together they are unstoppable and I loved reading their story.
-The moose and he gets his own chapter....OMG Pippa could not have finished off this series any better that with that final chapter!
I had the absolute pleasure of listening to this book narrated in duet by Ryan West and Maxine Mitchell. Both performed brilliantly together and I cannot count the amount of times I either laughed or felt some kind of emotion while listening to this book. I mean come on, between Ryan and his straight forward attitude but also having the voice to make me feel his characters insecurities. And you also have Maxine with the talent to make a vulnerable character strong. Together they knocked this story out of the park. A fun filled listen that these two narrators really brought to life. Thank you for lending us your talent so we can enjoy this story by listening.

Review of advance copy received from Author
“I can’t decide if you’re the nicest evil person or the evilest nice person I’ve ever met.”
Faking Cinderella is the third installment in the Small Town Sisterhood series, and honestly, it might be the most charming, chaotic, and unexpectedly heartfelt one yet. We’ve met Margot before in Daphne’s book, but seeing her step into the spotlight is a whole different experience. She’s not the icy billionaire boss lady we thought we knew—she’s a woman on a mission to track down her unknown half brothers, expose the father who wronged her, and somehow do it all while pretending to be someone she’s not. She’s hiding her identity, but for the first time, she’s also trying to let people see who she really is beneath the armor.
Enter Rhys. He clocks her secret almost immediately, but instead of calling her out, he’s thrown by the contradictions he sees in her—sharp edges wrapped around a surprisingly soft center. The more he watches her navigate this small town with equal parts awkwardness and grit, the more intrigued he becomes. And then? Intrigue turns into fascination, and fascination turns into something he absolutely did not plan on.
One of the joys of this book is how much fun it is. The humor lands, the banter sparkles, and the cameos from past characters feel like a warm reunion rather than a checklist. But beneath all the laughs, there’s real emotional weight. Both Margot and Rhys carry deep wounds from their families—scars that shaped them, hardened them, and left them wary of trusting anyone. Watching them slowly recognize those same hurts in each other creates a bond that feels earned and intimate.
“She tastes like everything that’s been missing in my life.”
What I loved most is how their relationship evolves. They start off suspicious, guarded, and absolutely convinced the other is trouble. But then the grudging respect creeps in. Then the reluctant fondness. And before they know it, they’re falling—not because of the lies or the secrets, but because they finally see someone who understands them.
Faking Cinderella is small town romcom at its best: warm, witty, a little messy, and full of heart. It delivers heat, humor, and genuine emotional payoff in equal measure. And now that the triplets are back in the mix—chaotic, charming, and absolutely begging for more page time—I’m really hoping their stories are next, because this series just keeps getting better.

Thank you so much Pippa Grant for sending me this ARC!
Faking Cinderella is the third Romantic Comedy book in a series of interconnected standalones and, like always, Pippa didn’t disappoint, this book was so much fun and I loved Rhys and Margot’s story!
Margot has been planning her father’s downfall for years, ever since he disinherited her beloved sister, so when she realises she has triplet brothers no one knows about, she decides to approach them under disguise to involve them in her plans. But the more time she spends with them and likes them the harder it gets because her plans might hurt them and to make things more complicated, their handsome but grumpy friend who is her roommate figures out her real identity and blackmails her.
I’ve been so excited to read Margot’s story after meeting her in the two previous books and it was everything I hoper for and more. I mean, a billionaire heiress pretending to be a housekeeper to get to know her brothers while falling for an ex bodyguard who is also her roommate? It’s exactly as fun as it sounds and I was laughing out loud so many times while reading, I was hooked from the first page and didn’t want to say goodbye to this story and these characters. Margot was amazing as the FMC, she was really strong and capable and so different from what could be expected of a billionaire heiress, she was kind and compassionate and always wanting to help and did really well as a housekeeper. Rhys was such a grump but a really adorable one and I loved him so much, he and Margot were polar opposites but perfect for each other and I loved seeing their relationship grow, they definitely didn’t start of on the right foot (their first meeting was hilarious and had me cackling) but even despite their trust issues and his suspicions and protectiveness they were incredible together, their banter was amazing and them being roommates made everything even better and when they finally gave in to their attraction the spicy scenes were *chief’s kiss*, I loved these two so much. And of course it was amazing to see familiar faces from Pippa’s other books, there were so many of them here and I loved seeing them all again!
Faking Cinderella is a really great rom-com, I loved this book so much and recommend it and all Pippa’s books to everyone.

Review of advance copy received from Indie Reviewers
From the moment this book was announced, I couldn’t wait to start it. “Faking Cinderella” is a swoony, heartfelt, and laugh out loud opposites attract, secret identity rom-com that was an amazing addition to the “Small Town Sisterhood” series.
Margot is having a year to say the least. And on top of it, she’s found out that she has triplet half brothers that no one knew anything about. And because her family, other than her sister, are the worst kinds of people, she wants to meet them. But she’s a well known heir to an empire so she hides her identity so she can really get to know them. She borrows a cabin from one of the triplets and to her surprise one night, a big mountain of man crashes the cabin. Rhys is a grumpy bodyguard taking some time off after a job and he’s just as surprised to have a roommate in the cabin he thought he was going to have on his own. And because he’s good at his job, he figures who she is. Margot has only one option… to blackmail him so he stays quiet. And as the two spend time together, it’s clear there’s more underneath.
When I have a Pippa Grant book in my hands, I know I’m in for a hilarious rom-com with all the perfect emotions in it too. From the first chapter, I was laughing at the antics of Margot and Rhys. Margot is kind, caring and based on what her father did, she holds all of that on her shoulders which was not even her fault to begin with. Even though they weren’t her mistakes, she wanted to do everything she could to make it right. I loved her being “undercover” and really getting to know her new half brothers without the stigma of her last name. Rhys is growly, protective and I was just as smitten with him as Margot was. He has this wall built around him but once you get to know, he’s just amazing. I loved how he was protective of Margot while she was undercover. The banter between these two in the beginning was hilarious and I loved how it evolved into attraction and then a relationship. The chemistry once they gave into those feelings was off the charts hot. I loved all the quirky moments with Margot, Rhys and her brothers. And it wouldn’t be a Pippa book without an animal and his hilarious bonus epilogue. This story was so much fun and I can’t wait for what I think the next series will be about.

I absolutely adored everything about this hilarious, heartfelt, and swoony romance! I loved the hilarious meet cute between Rhys and Margot and then the push/pull, slow burn sexual tension, along with their fun and flirty banter had me completely devouring every word! Margot learned through DNA testing that she has three half brothers that she never knew about. She travels across the country in disguise hoping to get to know the triplets before she reveals who she is and who their horrible father is. Rhys has been hired by his friend, one of the triplets, to find out any secrets this new woman may be hiding. Rhys and Margot quickly discover each other's true identities, and blackmail each other to keep their secrets. Rhys is loyal to his friends, but the more time he spends with Margot, the more he is convinced that she is not a spoiled rich girl, but is sweet, and caring. As Margot gets to know Rhys and her brothers, she finally feels seen, cherished, and loved. But when her secrets are revealed, will that betrayal be too much for the triplets to forgive and make her flee leaving them and Rhys behind, broken hearted? I fell head over heels in love with Rhys and Margot. I loved the way they challenged each other, their fun banter, and their chemistry was explosive. I loved Margot's strength and thoughtfulness, and swooned over the way Rhys was both a grumpy alpha and a sweet romantic. I also loved catching up with all their supportive and quirky family and friends, including a nosey moose, who made this story even more entertaining. There were so many laugh out loud moments but many emotional, sweet and sizzling moments as well.
Ryan West and Maxine Mitchell were fantastic at bringing this delightful, laugh out loud, story to life! They were so perfect as Rhys and Margot as they made these smart, unique and witty characters come to life. I also think they have perfect comedic timing. I loved their humor, and their easy ability to make this hilarious, heartwarming, and sizzling romance one that you will want to listen to again and again!

Faking Cinderella
Series: Small Town Sisterhood, Book 3
By: Pippa Grant
Narrated by: Ryan West, Maxine Mitchell
Fun! Fun! Fun! Pippa Grant never lets me down with an original story, lots of laughter and passion. This one features Margot. She comes from a prominent family and is aiming to take over her father's business. She did a DNA test and found a match to triplets and while she knows who their father is, she hasn't revealed that secret. Or even her real name. She rented a cabin and is ready to meet the family in hopes they can help expose her father for the man he really is. Rhys comes to the cabin to stay as well, unbeknownst to him that Margot is staying there too. And what a welcome he received. Now the two are staying together, and while he figures out her true identity, he is willing to keep the secret for now and protect her from any craziness that may come upon her. And the fun begins. Witty banter, passion and a little bit of danger all come into play as these two slowly begin to fall in love. Close proximity, interesting brothers, a dangerous father and fabulous protection all lead to a story that is so much fun to listen to. This is a great addition to the series.
Ryan West and Maxine Mitchell are the narrators for this and they are wonderful. West has that raspy, alpha sound that is perfect as Rhys. Mitchell brings out the strong willed, obsessive Margot that makes her the fantastic character she is. Add in the witty banter with amazing comedic timing and this narration is gold. Give it a listen.

To date, I haven’t met a Pippa Grant book that I have not liked. Faking Cinderella is classic Pippa with such a sweet and charming story complete with a bit of spice and a delightful cast of characters that will have you laughing, misty-eyed and swooning! What I love about her books is that within her different series, each book can be read is a standalone, but if you do read them all, they become even more fun because you are able to pick up on the inside jokes and you feel like you really know the characters. As if they are old friends.
I have been enjoying the Small-Town Sisterhood Series (Faking Cinderella is book #3 in the series) and was so happy to get Margot’s story. I found myself rooting for her and not only were there moments of laughter as I read, but there were even a few moments when I cheered out loud.
This book is perfect for all the Rom Com lovers out there. If you are not a fan of spice, it is easy to skim over those sections, and you will not miss out on any of the story line so don’t let that get in the way of you picking up this wonderful story.
Thank you to Pippa Grant for the gifted copy of this audiobook. Narrated by Ryan West and Maxine Mitchell, this production was amazing. I could not think of a more perfect pair to bring this cast of characters to life!

The perfect fit! Faking Cinderella by Pippa Grant was a hilarious and heartfelt opposites attract romance that did deliciously good things to my heart. I couldn’t get enough of Margot and Rhys’ enemies to lovers ' tension filled chemistry that made me laugh-out-loud with their undeniable combustible chemistry. Pippa always knows how to deliver the best banter!
Maxine Mitchell and Ryan West perform this audiobook in duet-style narration, and this pairing was so perfect to bring Margot and Rhys to life! Maxine’s expressive, upbeat tone perfectly portrayed Margot’s woman on a mission persona making me cheer and want all the things! Ryan’s warm, masculine timbre embodied Rhys’ grumpy, guarded demeanor making this man simply irresistible. Plus, both narrators created a flirty-turned-explosive connection between these two that made their relationship so much fun.
Overall, I loved this book! If you are a fan of a small town romance with a feisty billionaire heiress in disguise, a broody hunky former bodyguard, fish out of water, close proximity, hair dye meet cute, axe swinging, triplet brothers, moose sightings, family secrets, he falls hard, slow burn spice, witty banter, revealing truths, love declarations, and a HEA that will squeeze your heart in the best ways, then you will love Margot and Rhys story. I always look forward to more from Pippa Grant.

If you are a fan of a small town romance with a feisty billionaire heiress in disguise, a broody hunky former bodyguard, fish out of water, close proximity, hair dye meet cute, axe swinging, triplet brothers, moose sightings, family secrets, he falls hard, slow burn spice, witty banter, revealing truths, love declarations, and a HEA that will squeeze your heart in the best ways, then you will love Margot and Rhys story. I always look forward to more from Pippa Grant.

Another hilarious book from the Pippa Grant universe. Rhys O’Malley is doing his former Marine buddy Derrick Sullivan a favor and investigating the woman claiming to be Derrick, and his two identical triplet brothers (Jake and Lucky), biological half-sister Margie Johnson. Margie Johnson is the alias the Margot Merriweather-Brown is using to get to know her identical triplet brothers. She is a billionaire daughter of a really awful man who disowned his other daughter Daphne, and a philanderer who fathered triplets who were the approximately the same age as Margot. Due to a scheduling mix-up, they are sharing the same one bedroom cabin owned by the triplets. They don’t start off on the best foot when “Margie’s” boobytrap security system, which involves purple hair dye, flour and a skillet, dyes and bruises (both his body and ego) Rhys. But since they are working together at the same resort and sharing the same small cabin, they get to know each other pretty quickly. I love all of Pippa’s books because they are both hilarious and spicy, and this book is no exception. While this book has crossovers from other Pippa series, you can still read this book as a standalone and thoroughly enjoy it. I received an arc of this book from the author for my honest review.

Margot wants to meet her half brothers, so they offer up their cabin as the perfect place to finally connect. But her brothers have a plan of their own, they secretly send Rhys to the cabin under the guise of a double booking, so he can check into her. It doesn’t take long for Rhys to realize Margot isn’t exactly who she claims to be.
As they spend time together, though, the layers start to peel back. Rhys begins to understand her motivations, and what starts as suspicion slowly turns into something much deeper. Their story is full of complicated dynamics, but I absolutely loved that Rhys never wavers once his feelings take root, his loyalty to Margot is everything.
The bond between the brothers adds so much heart and humor to the story. Their relationship feels genuine and fun, and it really enhances the overall experience.
Ryan West and Maxine Mitchell deliver outstanding performances, truly bringing Margot and Rhys to life. From the tension to the chemistry, you can feel it all. If you’ve been loving this series so far, this installment will not disappoint.
Thank you, Pippa Grant for the ALC/ARC

“I’m here faking Cinderella, but he’s the one with the evil stepfamily.”
I immediately fell in love with Faking Cinderella! I’ve been eating for Margot’s story and to get the triplets from the Three BFFs and a Wedding series was such a treat!
Margot has recently discovered she has 3 half brothers and she is ready to meet them ! Traveling to Snaggletooth was the only way to make that happen. She just didn’t expect to have a roommate when she arrived. Rhys is doing his best friend a favor, looking into his new half sibling. He is ready to find out her motive and protect his friend at all costs. But when he discovered her true identity, he realized she wasn’t what he thought.
“I can’t decide if you’re the nicest evil person or the evilest nice person I’ve ever met.”
I loved the way Margot and Rhys met, it was hilarious and I am sure extremely painful for some. Pippa Grant continues to make laugh out loud romance stories filled with the quirkiest people. Every book is perfect and the best escape from reality ! I really hope we get more of the Sullivan triplets soon!
🔥: “Truck’s here all night.”

Faking Cinderella is Rhys and Margot’s opposites attract, small town romantic comedy. It’s book three in the Small Town Sisterhood and I loved everything about it from the witty banter to the secrets and everything in between.
Margot lets everyone believe she is an icy boss lady but deep down all she wants is to expose the man who wronged her and that means tracking down her unknown half brothers in the hope they can expose their father for who he really is…….
Rhys is a former bodyguard who comes crashing into the cabin Margot is hiding out in and it’s not long before he works out her secret. But intrude has him keeping tabs on her as she navigates her way around town looking for her brothers. So what happens when secrets are revealed will Rhys be loyal to her half brothers or his belief in me and the noble reason for the long game I’ve been playing…….
I can’t keep faking Cinderella forever.
This is a witty, emotional, entertaining and well written story that I quickly became invested in. I fell hard and fast for Rhys and I adored Margot but it was watching this couple who both hide their scars from their past learn to trust again that took this book to another level.

I was fortunate to receive an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
It's no secret to those who know me that I'm first in line to any new book Pippa Grant writes. I love her witty banter and perfectly spiced writing style.
Faking Cinderella was perfection when it comes to visits from characters of past series in addition to the completely lovable friends we've met via the Small Town Sisterhood.
Margot is a mystery coming into this book, but boy does Pippa make her shine. I ADORED the meet cute - especially the introduction of Rhys by way of hair dye and a skillet. IYKYK.
Rhys clearly has a history, his ex did a number on him... but the way he shows up for Margot despite not wanting to have to keep her secrets, and finds himself falling headfirst makes him the most lovable of grumps. Margot has every right to be completely jaded by the world, but still goes out of her way to help literally anyone in need... you can't help but adore her. And the two of them together? This book has been everything I hoped it would be.
Here's hoping for more of the Sullivan triplets soon!

Secret identity
Forced proximity
Grumpy x sunshine
Opposites attract
Roommates to lovers
Dual POV - 1st person
Duet narration - Maxine Mitchell & Ryan West
Love love love these two! Such a great performance.
I really enjoyed this book. Pippa Grant gives Meghan Quinn quality romcoms. The banter and humor are just fabulous.
Margie Johnson is undercover in a way as she meets her newly found triplet brothers. Rhys O’Malley is best friends with the triplets and has been brought to town to investigate the new sister they didn’t know about.
The “meet cute” moment in this book had me laughing so hard I cried. It gave me home alone level boobie trapping vibes. The characters are absolutely loveable and the story is heartwarming. I can’t say enough about Pippa’s writing. It is fun and heartwarming. Truly a joy to read.

Faking Cinderella is romcom perfection!
Margot surprised me in so many ways. She is not the stuffy heiress. I love her kind heart and the love that she had for those around her. Rhys is Margot’s match in every way. Their fun, flirty banter was hilarious and the foundation they build as friends was such a joy to read. I love a hero who is a big teddy bear with so much heart and Rhys is that!
Rhys and Margot both have secret pains that bind them and through those scars they find common ground and understanding. With the help of a meddlesome moose (IYKYK) these two find their attraction quickly growing!!
This book was so much fun and I love seeing everyone come together. The familiar faces I have come to love in this series and some faves from the past just cemented this book in my heart. Also any book that involves Colorado is an instant must read in my book!

5 ⭐ 3.5 🌶️ 5 🎧
I have been so excited for Margot's story and it was utterly perfect. Rhys was such an amazing pairing, these two were meant to beeee. I loved how they were both a little broken and scared, but in slightly different ways. They made me laugh, they made me swoon and they came pretty dang close to making me cry with the found family vibes.
I really enjoyed the spice in this one. It's probably really only a 3 pepper read, but there was something about these two that melted me so I'm giving 'em more. The car scene?! gahhhhh so good.
The audio was freaking fantastic. I adore Ryan West and this DUET style narration with Maxine Mitchell was so, so good. Thank you so much to Pippa for the advanced copies, I loved this immersive read!

Every time I want to laugh while reading, Pippa is there for me... and Maxine Mitchell and Ryan West giving Margot and Rhys a voice was the cherry on top.
Romantic, chaotic, and freakingly funny, now the Small Town Sisterhood series is complete, and the family got bigger!
If Daphne made me smile with that sassy mind of hers, the triplets are getting ahead from it. Just, their way to found Margot was absolutely hilarious.
Rhys and Margot meeting for the first time, was totally a rocking chair moment. Love how their relationship was taking baby steps from the beginning until they builded a very cute ride.
Love having the rest of the gang around this book too.
But! for me, the best POV came from Sir Rodney Mooselwait at that bobus scene. I laugh so bad at that part of the book.

Rhys O’Malley works in private security and was asked to check out his friend’s new half sister, Margie Johnson. That’s why he is going to their remote cabin where he will “accidentally” be there already when she shows up. One problem with that…she went early too and let’s just say their introductions are anything but pleasant lol! Is Margie really their sister or is there more to her story and who she really is? What happens when you put two very headstrong individuals in a tiny cabin together? Omg, this is one laugh riot of a romcom. A little hidden agenda mixed with a broody man makes this strangers to lovers romantic comedy shine. Told in first person and dual POV.

ARC/ALC Review
Thank you Pippa Grant for an advanced copy of this book!
I had the pleasure of being able to listen AND read this one. Ryan West and Maxine Mitchell were phenomenal.
I loved getting cameos of Daphne, Oliver, Bea, and Simon! I only wish the extended epilogue would’ve shown me a little more of what their lives look like further out.
Margot is my favorite kind of FMC. She’s brilliant and successful but also unsure and has the same insecurities we all have. Rhys and Margot communicated so well and they were perfect for each other.
When do we get the triplets’ stories. Surely the get their own books right???

In this installment of the Small Town Sisterhood series, Margot has found out that she has half brothers. She wants to meet them and use them for revenge against her father,, but she wants to ferl them out first.
She fakes being a poor house cleaner and convinces the to let her use their cabin. Little does she know but one of the triplets doesn't trust her, do he sends his friend Rhys to check out.
What happens next are hijinks, mayhem, chemistry and vulnerability, in perfect measure.
There are a lot of cameos, from characters, in previous books. It's a sweet, fun story.

Margot has been an enigma through the Small Town Sisterhood series and I loved the chance to get in her head! As is often true with people, she was so much more than she seemed. Playing the long game, she's contacted her triplet half brothers incognito and left her billionaire heiress life behind for a stint as a housekeeper. She plans to tell them the truth, when the timing is right.
What she didn't plan on was Rhys, friend to one of the brothers and her unexpected roommate. Their meet-cute is hilarious and their story is one wild ride. I loved him for Margot and loved her chance to get out in the world and find a life worth living, worth fighting for.

March 11, 2026Margot has spent four years on her plan to oust her father, and she is so close to wrapping it up. She travels incognito to meet her half-brothers and solicit their help. She was not counting on their friend Rhys to be in the cabin with her. Or to be so attractive. Or so intelligent and intuitive. Things get complicated, but Margot and Rhys can't stay away from each other. The audiobook is even more fun than the ebook because the narrators do such a great job. I have never heard Maxine Mitchell give less than a stellar performance, and this was no exception. She gives Margot all of the complicated feelings in such an empathetic way.

* 4.25 stars *
I am so glad Margot got her book. I enjoyed her in Bee’s book but I kind of turned on her in Daphne’s book, because how could she stay close with her parents after how they treated her sister. I loved finally seeing Margot’s side (and plan). The triplets were my favorite, we got glimpses of them in the 3 BFFs and a wedding series and they cracked me up then too! Rhys and Margot were a great combination, and I enjoyed how it all unfolded! The narrators did a great job bringing the characters to life!

Eereekkk this book was so good! It brought
Together 2 of my favorite Pippa Series (Smalltown Sisterhood and 3 BFFs and a Wedding). Margot is tough as nails and so freaking sweet at the same time. Rhys is hard and grouchy but somehow completely lovable. This book truly has everything! Smalltown vibes, secret identity, witty banter, found family and HEA’s. What’s not to love!!

So many feels with this one! I absolutely loved Rhys & Margot together! Their chemistry and banter from the very first meeting was incredible. And so many happy feelings with the triplets and Daphne becoming a unique family!
