Just when you think you’ve met your match . . . the charade begins.

Cassie Everson is an expert at escaping bad first dates. And, after years of meeting, greeting, and running from the men who try to woo her, Cassie is almost ready to retire her hopes for a husband—and children—altogether.

But fate has other plans, and Cassie’s online dating profile catches the eye of firefighter Jett Bentley. In Jett’s memory, Cassie Everson is the unreachable girl-of-legend from their high school days. Nervously, he messages her, setting off a chain of events that forces a reluctant Cassie back into the dating game.

No one is more surprised than Cassie when her first date with Jett is a knockout. But when they both go home and find three children dropped in their laps—each—they independently decide to do the right and mature thing: hide the kids from each other while sorting it all out. What could go wrong?

Melissa Ferguson’s hilarious and warmhearted debut reminds us that love can come in very small packages—and that sometimes our best-laid plans aren’t nearly as rewarding and fun as the surprises that come our way.

Review:

Two unsuspecting singles looking for love hit it off after the first date, and find themselves taking care of three children each, all the while keeping it a secret from the other.

A modern romance that relevantly looks at modern dating habits, mixed with a feel-good romantic comedy vibe, heartwarming, with laugh out loud moments sure to bring a smile to your face. This book has a fun cast of side characters, with fun relatable humor. Great for fans of Christian-ese comedians and Hallmark movies, there's plenty to make you laugh and smile throughout.

There are many hilarious situations, and I loved how the children keep Cassie and Jett on their toes. A heartwarming debut, with lighthearted humor, with a heartfelt core. Highly enjoyable read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
