Finished 1 of 3:
A Worthy Pursuit by Karen Witemeyer |★★★★½| Feb 8
This was SOOOO cute! If you enjoy children bringing a couple together, you'll definitely like this book. The Hubster and I listened to the bulk of it on audio yesterday. It really held our attention and had lots and lots of sweet moments between the couple and between Stone and the kids. Here's my short review!

Please feel free to post your book covers, dates read, and star ratings.
You may join at any time during the month. Feel free to do all three, or more, if you want.
Member Choosing: Lara has been a GoodReads member since October, 2011, and a participant of Happily Ever After Café since June, 2016. She tells us: “I am originally from Chicago, moved a lot as a child, went to boarding school for a couple of years, enjoy knitting and baking, used to hike and camp. I got into romance through science fiction romance and SF and fantasy are still the genres I turn to first, then mysteries. But, I think I read more romances now than anything.”
