After her small son, Kevin, asked both God and Santa for a new daddy for Christmas, and then didn’t find him under the tree, school teacher, Jessica Lyons is starting the new year out with a very unhappy six year old on her hands. Kevin can’t understand that she’s only been a widow for 2 years and she can’t imagine marrying again—not yet at least. But, unknown to her Kevin has a plan and has decided that if God and Santa won’t give him what he wants then maybe the police can!
When the very handsome Chief of Police, Levi Sinclair shows up as Kevin’s Show-and-Tell he believes, as does Jessica, that her son has asked him there to show him off as the "police chief"—it’s a little awkward when Kevin introduces Levi as his next daddy!
I know I am coming in at a disadvantage reading With This Ring - book 6 of the Windswept Bay series having not read the previous books in the series. Evidently the four Sinclair sisters fell in love in the first books and now the five Sinclair brothers are out to find the women of their dreams.
Can I say this series trend - of large families with each sibling getting their own book and the characters intertwined - is getting a little old. It almost seems like a cop out, the characters are pre-formed and the storyline fairly formulaic. Can we spew these out any faster since there doesn't seem to have much character development, almost novella in depth, and lacking in plot development (they went there, they said this, there fingers/arms, etc tingle at the touch, blah, blah blah.) I turned to this for a quick easy read. It was, too bad it wasn't that enjoyable. The precocious little boy, Kevin, was the bright spot and even he was a bit unbelievable - but cute!!
