The author has a voice and style that are unique and take a little getting used to. Once you do, you will get drawn into the story. This is not a romance, it starts with Manda and Keith's wedding. Manda is marrying not only Keith, but his two children. Manda is excited about being a step-mother Keith's young son and teen daughter, but her new stepdaughter is still hoping her mother will come back.
This is a story about love, marriage, and family, and making the family work in the way that works for all the members.
I loved the character development, especially the way Manda grew. She was forced to assess her marriage and what is important.
This was not a romance, but it is full of strong emotion and love. This story will surprise you and it stuck with me for quite a while after reading it.

I enjoyed this story that focuses on characters Manda and Keith. A new wife and new stepmother, Manda has lots of adjusting to do for her new life. She has some doubts about herself and her new roles, as well as Keith's feelings for her. I liked both the characters and the storyline in this one.
