Make no mistakes about it. I know what I look like to others. Young, government-aided, pregnant mom. They see Lucy on my hip, and they see a mistake. I mean, why else would someone have a child so young, right? They couldn't be more wrong. I'm too busy most days between parenting, work, and finishing up my last year of nursing school to let their judging gaze tear me down until he moves into the vacant house next to the apartments I live in.His cold, blunt observation of us doesn't differ from any other stranger. He doesn't know me, but he's already painting a picture of who he thinks I am in his mind. He judges my very round belly, Lucy's inability to leave him alone, the bags under my eyes, and the fact that I couldn't care less what I look like anymore.He's a rude guy. Stays that way for months too. Then something happens, I'm not even sure what. Judgmental Guy decides Lucy and me-as well as baby Eli, are worth his friendship.Turns out, Judgmental Guy isn't too mean-okay, he kind of still is. But he graduates to Elijah. I build an unlikely friendship with him which deems it necessary for him to start smiling around me and my kids. I'm wrong again. Elijah isn't rude. He's terrifying. His strange acts of kindness are unraveling me. Elijah is only my friend.Right? Oh, fudge. I think I'm wrong. Again.

"This was such a cute and sweet book with great spice. 10/10!!"

Allysa Lewis

"The last book I finished I absolutely loved, called Daughter of the Moon Goddess. I'm enjoying a light, easy read with A Chance Encounter by Nikki Ash. How about you? "

Nicole Miller

"sweet Loved it. Elijah was a curmudgeony man content on living his single life. But little did he know what was missing was a woman dedicated to her children and bettering herself. Hadley had rose coloured glasses on when it came to her first love and now didn’t trust herself to make good decisions for her love life. Although I wasn’t crazy about Hadleys daughter Lucy (mostly because she’s written as kind of a bossy spoiled child), I enjoyed how Elijah interacted with her. Heartwarming and genuine."

Lisa

"Okay first off, enemies to lovers and A CRAZY CHILD attached that made all three win my heart. i literally talked about this book days after reading it to a friend cause it just was so cute. i give this three stars because I really enjoyed it while I read it. Will I remember this book? possibly? Will I remember most of it or think about it for a while? no. I also won’t re-read it. just my personal rating scale but such a good read!!! "

"I love how smitten the hero is! So sweet with a good amount of spice. "

Peggy Metcalf

"I really enjoyed this book. I loved little Lucy and Eli. I loved how strong Hadley was. The fact that Elijah always knew what he wanted was so beautiful. I hated that the town was called sassafras and when the men called the younger woman “mature” but other than that I loved this book."
