Rudy Vaccaro took one look at her and fell in love. Hopelessly, impossibly, insanely in love. Even though she wasn't perfect. Hell, she wasn't even all that good-looking, not in the shape she was in. . . This is how the book starts and it gets better as you keep on reading.
Rudy is a single dad who has moved to a new town to start a new life with his twelve year old daughter Stacey. She is not very happy about being taken away from all her friends and family but Rudy is sure that, if she will just give it a chance, she will come to love their new home. Rudy's dream is to transform the old house into the successful inn that it used to be. But the place is going to need a lot of work before anyone can stay there.
Violet is a single mom who had dreams of her own for the house, only those dreams were shattered when the owner passed away without keeping her promise to Violet. Now Violet is a waitress at the local diner. She's just trying to raise her two boys but nothing seems to be going right. Then Rudy hires her to help him fix the house up. There is a bunch of chemistry between them but they have their children to think about. And even if Rudy would like to take things further, Violet has been hurt before and doesn't trust easily. She may also still have feelings for her ex.
I really loved this book and Rudy was great. I loved the humor too. It was just a very touching story about two single parents coming together and making a family.
