Learning that the man you love and have been involved with for three years is already married and has been for eleven years is a shocker – especially when you’re pregnant with his twins and he makes it quite clear that he's not interested in forming a new family! What’s a girl to do?
Well, she’s not going to sit around and wish for things that aren’t going to happen. She leaves behind the fast-paced lifestyle of New York City and heads for the slower pace of Arbor Glen, Texas. There she opens her own boutique and begins to prepare for the arrival of her babies.
A matchmaking “grandma” stirs the pot when she sends a sexy gorgeous (and single) carpenter to the boutique to build merchandise shelving for our lovely leading lady. But don’t think it’ll be easy getting these two to take the bait. The carpenter has some hidden secrets of his own.
But as luck would have it, the heat builds between our pregnant mom-to-be and the goodlooking carpenter to ignore for long. Soon they can’t keep their hands to themselves and you’ll enjoy a passionate and emotional love story that promises to fill your heart with a delightful romance.
Easy, quick, and fun-filled book to read!

I really liked the story of Jace and Eden. The secondary characters were great, and you really got the feel that you were in the town and could really picture everything the writer was trying to get across. I enjoyed watching the struggle Jace had with himself and when he finally gave up and couldn't stand it anymore, and Eden welcoming him with open arms. I did tear up a little when he delivered her a special gift for the twins. I had two issues with this book. At times, for lack of a better word, the book was a little wordy. The author seemed to describe things to death, to the point where I skimmed quite a bit. My second qualm was some of the dialogue closer to the end was pretty cheesy. When I pictured Jace in the beginning, I didn't picture him as someone that would cave so quickly in the way he spoke to his lady love. I agree that to a degree some cheese is necessary because it is a love story, but it came to a point that I skimmed some of that too. I did like the story, and I was surprised there wasn't a love lost point, where the biological dad showed up, but that didn't take from the story at all. I enjoyed watching Jace and Eden fall in love and I really enjoyed watching Eden fall for the town.

Not quite the path she expected to take, Eden has moved to a small town in Texas because she's sure that the quieter slower life is just what she needs for her future family, her surprise twins due soon. She loved her life as a fashion editor in New York, and misses it terribly, but knows that her choice is the right thing to do. Until she meets handyman, Jace. Jace is also looking for a quiet life except he's trying to escape from the demons of the past. As they explore their feelings for each other they both have to face the lives they left behind to ensure that a future together is even possible. Good read!

This is such a sweet story. I wish the ending could have been explained or maybe played out just a little more but still a good read. Looking forward to more!
