Elliott has got to find a job and a place of her own for her and her daughter. Her interview at Weight Expectations went better than planned. Now she can starting looking for her own space. Able is trying to do the best for his daughter Mabel but with his financial situation realizes he needs a roommate. I loved how these two always put their daughters first but also never let go of each other. Loved it!!

Oh how I enjoy Ms. Carter's stories! They are full of laughs and swoons! This is the story of the struggles of single parenthood, mixed families and finding love! Elliott is a single mom, looking to start her life over after a divorce. She wants to find her independence again. She is a great mom and a brave woman. She may be an older gal, but she is vintage in the best ways! Abel is a newly single dad, he is struggling with single parenting, his finances and is looking for a roommate to help share the costs. Voila! Enter Elliott and both of their problems are solved! The flow of this story is phenomenal! The dialogue is full of wit and realism. The struggles of living together, both with young daughters and finding their groove was epic. Abel and Elliott's feelings for each other grow from friends to more was organic and so lovely to read. I also applaud the younger man, older woman basis of this story! I could empathize with Elliott's vulnerabilities and her "traditional" way of thinking. It was so swoony to see Abel break down the walls around her heart and thinking. This is definitely a book I would highly recommend!

I am enamored with M.E. Carter’s deft and agile writing style, endearingly flawed yet well-meaning and hard-working characters, and the relevant and relatable issues tucked into her well-crafted and highly engaging storylines. I have relished these cleverly amusing Smartypants Romances, each one has been a snarkalicious smirk-fest and most have been giggle-snort worthy as well. M.E. Carter’s contributions to the series have provided me with both and I had the fleeting thought of amassing an altar of sweatbands and sweets in tribute to her keen wit, snappy banter, and amusing yet insightful observations. However, I was unable to follow-through on this scheme, as the materials seemed to mysteriously disappear as I pondered the design. I am already eagerly awaiting the arrival of her next missive on my beloved Kindle.
