Adria Sinclair suddenly finds herself with five boys after her brother’s death. She opens her home and her heart to them, but loses love in the process, since her fiancé refuses to be an instant father to not one, but five children.
Bryce Hathaway is a former football legend who now coaches a high school team. When he meets Adria, he knows he will do everything to win her over.
Confronted by Bryce’s relentless pursuit, Adria agrees to give their relationship a chance, but on one condition: Bryce must spend a week in her house with the children. It is a trial by fire to see if he will eventually find family life bearable, or overwhelming. Bryce agrees, but he caves in under the pressure one day, and Adria is now convinced it will never work. But Bryce is not ready to give up yet. However, Adria wonders whether she can trust Bryce again to not bow out when the going gets tough.
I was run over by the urge to read the book from cover to cover. Laced throughout with witty dialogue and moments of roaring humor, Ms Quinn pens a tale that is poignant in its realism and its simplicity. The life and love in that family all but screamed out of the words, and I was transported to their world. There never was a dull moment, as the drama upped considerably to keep the reader on the edge of her seat. But in the end, it showed that love really is all around, and that it can overcome all obstacles.
