Exceptional series and book!✍🏾
The writing from this author is always enjoyable and entertaining. She must have had a vivid imagination to have a talent like what I have read to this point! I enjoyed the situations that the two characters experienced together and separately. The author writes and as I read I can envision the characters actions.

It's said he never got to meet the uncle. Also how much time has passed? Why hasn't anyone else had kids yet?

Starts off well... though beginnings can be deceiving as I learned with her other novel.
I finally finished and I must say that this novel was much better than the former, Once in a Lifetime. It's better written, has a stronger storyline (doesn't suffocate you by keeping the entire novel in the Harrington mansion), everything about it was just better than the other novel. Forster still needs to take a class on "how to write proper dialogue" between characters though. Half the time was wasted on re-reading passages trying to figure out who said what, it's more than a little annoying. And what is with her male characters and their less than manly undergarments? Who wants to read about a man wearing a G-string or bikini panties? Ew, WTFrack? Other than that, I liked Judson and Heather's story. And it was fun to read about the other Harringtons and what they'd been up to.

The story was a good one, but I think it just dragged on so much. At times I found myself skipping to the next paragraph because I was becoming bored with it. It took me 3 days to get through it which is long for me. This is the first book that I have read from this author, so while it didn't piqué my interest, I am willing to give her another chance.

This was a pretty good short story, ended good as well...I thought it was just a single short story but at the end it has at least 3 more short stories that go with it. I'm not sure I'll read the rest as this one didn't really capture me but that's just me. Maybe if I find them for free I'll try reading them.

Judson's finds happiness
The contentment that is found once Judson has his family and love of his life is awe inspiring. It's one of those things that really have you thinking of the importance of knowing whose you are. Judson soul was troubled but he was willing to take a stab at love. With the Harrington's as the backstory it was the support he needed.
