I liked this fine. It was an incredibly quick read. I found it on the shelves at the beach house I was staying at. The characters were cute. I was a little annoyed at the tremendous amount of miscommunication that occurred. Are there really marriages out there where almost every word one says is misunderstood by the partner? It became a little annoying, although I did become curious as to how this simply thought could be misconstrued - but then the writer would explain how it happened. It makes...more
This started out really well but Jamie irritated me so much,i kind off dislike her by the time i finished,keeps turning hot/cold towards Rich hurting him and making matter worse and complicated,anyways even after Jamie's hot/cold fluctuations which lead to misunderstandings they do manage to get their HEA
Okay read

Towards the end I couldn't stand the pouting cry baby of that Jamie woman anymore. Whining, misinterpreting, being a proverbial b***. This is the stereotypical hysteric female. What a waist of time.
I read the ebook version of this (i.e., without the cover seen above). Schmaltzy and predictable. Why oh why did I waste my time?

Cute, friends who discover love through the want of a child. Frustrating and funny at the same time.
I felt this book was just ok. Very predictable. No surprises other than all the miscommunication between the two main characters. That was very frustrating!
I have a friend who was in a similar predictament, but it got complicated, so she's exploring different avenues.
I really loved this book! A very fun read!

My very first of Debbie Macomber and I fell in love straight away. Borrowed it from my friend, I finally then became a bit desperate trying to find it since it's no longer available in bookstore. Thank God she decided to give it to me.
Some people might think it's cheesy and so-so ... but the combination of marriage-of-convenience, friends-to-lovers, sex-after-marriage, all three were my favorite theme, sucked me in.
It's definitely one of my all time favorite and I lost count on how many times I...more

This final Manning brother has no intention of marrying and the fun begins when his "beat friend", female of course, decides she's not the marrying kind but wants to have a baby.
Light reading and predictable - but kept my interest
