Sunshine State Book 1
He’s a single father of three, ready to settle down. She’s child-free, fun-loving, and hiding a secret. When these opposites attract, will their deal breakers turn into heart-breakers?
Wild-hearted Hope Clayton is the business expert fixing companies to save them from bankruptcy—yet she’s been unable to fix her own sentimental life. When her job sends her temporarily to Orlando, Florida, she decides to stop chasing love and just have some fun. What can go wrong in the state of sunshine and the city of Theme parks?
A blink later, a war has erupted between her team of yuppie business consultants and the client company’s parents. Soon, Hope’s biggest job account is threatened, and so are her plans to remain uninvolved. Among those parents is intriguing, attractive, and decidedly serious TJ Wagner—The man who shook her heart with his music on her last trip there.
Conservative single father TJ Wagner is a musical genius with an accountant day job. He’s looking for a serious relationship and a stepmother for his three kids. Why can’t he stop wanting a woman who lives 2500 miles away and has been clear she wants nothing to do with children?
Clashing life choices. Mickey Mouse phobias. Single-life re-launches and occasional pearls of wisdom. This spicy and hilarious story will keep you turning pages to find out if love can really conquer all deal breakers.
My Review:
There is so much going on in this story, I don’t even know quite where to start. It’s a story of two people who have very different world views, yet still manage to have so much in common. Tom and Hope are really quite sweet together. I just wish we could have avoided some of their drama with a couple of good conversations where they laid it all out in plain English rather that talking in circles around the real situations. I also thought the image of grown adults behaving like spoiled toddlers who had been told they couldn’t have their afternoon cookie was a bit much. Especially that the worst of this behavior was at the office. It was too often and too over-the-top for me to really buy into it. I hope we get to see more of where Tom and Hope get to next with the books in the rest of the series.
