I liked this book. Although I have to say Austin really pissed me off. Had I been Theresa I would have told him to get lost and go fly a kite for as many times that he insulted her and was a total jerk! But in the end it all work out for everybody. I just loved his daughter's meddling to try to get them together. It was quite cute. I'm ready to read the next book in the series.

Very cute story
What did you like best about this story?
Old love reignited,
Would you be willing to try another one of Erin Mallon’s performances?
Wish I didn't have to listen to her again, but have to if I want to continue with series. She is very bad with the different voices. She is nasal, and whiney with the women and teenage voices. This is the second book I have listened to by her and she likes to make the women sound whiney and rather pathetic.
