The Daddy Makeover by RaeAnne Thayne

• Sage just knows Eben is like her father: not there for his daughter. 

Four Little Blessings by Merrillee Whren is about Cassie Rankin,  who is raising her nieces and nephews.  She moves next door to Wade Dalton, who wants peace and quiet.  They  feel attracted to each other, but do not want to give into it because of an age difference.The children help bring Cassie and Wade closer together as well as the many trips to the beach.

Cassie Rankin is a twenty-one-year-old who is raising her 4 nieces and nephews. The children's parents are in jail and Cassie is determined to do all she can to keep the children together. As a new Christian, she sometimes falls back on old habits, but she puts her trust in God to guide her to make the right decisions. Fortunately, her mentor, Angie, has generously given the young family use of her beach home to help them get on their feet. There, they meet thirty-two-year-old Wade Dalton who has recently recovered from Hodgkin's, and was looking for relaxation and quiet. That is something that will be hard to come by with a pretty young neighbour and four little kids.

Amy Hardaway stayed in her hometown instead of moving away like her sisters. She doesn't realize she's nursing an old crush on the man who eventually married and divorced her sister. But now he's back. And his attraction to Amy flares up old feelings. She can't get involved with her sister's ex-husband --- can she?

Jon Costas is beginning to think he married the wrong sister all those years ago. Can he convince his family that getting involved with another Hardaway sister won't leave him brokenhearted - again?

Talk about a dysfunctional family! This trilogy takes the cake but it's a good read!
