Ivy and Katie Are Lucas' Hidden Family! 3.25*****
Ivy Johnson, is no stranger to scandal, but with Katie, her daughter being affected, in the most recent tabloid exposé, the Johnson family and Lucas surround and protect them from the paparazzi. On a chance meeting at the end of Lucas' book tour in Seattle, he met up with Ivy Johnson, his Summer fling eight years, before he left for South Korea to teach. Unbeknownst to him, he is also Katie's father. His single, carefree bachelor's life has come to a screeching halt. Ivy gives him an out, but he realizes that something is lacking in his life. Together they work to become a family. Like father, like daughter, the two, Lucas and Katie, possess the creative writing gene.
Great characters, but at times, Lucas' foster home upbringing hinders him as he slowly learns to rise above his insecurities. Great plot that climaxes in the revaluation of the betrayer of Ivy's sham marriage to Winston to the press. It seems that the leading men in this series, tend to get physical with the women they love. Walking away and cooling down is a much better alternative than becoming physical... not a admirable trait in either Cyrus or Lucas.
