It was a good read but I think it could have been edited down a bit. ~ Paige

Lucy Lang isn’t looking for fireworks…

She’s looking for a nice, decent man. Someone who’ll mow the lawn, flip chicken on the barbecue, teach their future children to play soccer. But most important: someone who won’t inspire the slightest stirring in her heart…or anywhere else. A young widow, Lucy can’t risk that kind of loss again. But sharing her life with a cat named Fat Mikey and the Black Widows at the family bakery isn’t enough either. So it’s goodbye to Ethan, her hot but entirely inappropriate “friend with privileges,” and hello to a man she can marry.

Too bad Ethan Mirabelli isn’t going anywhere. As far as he’s concerned, what she needs might be right under her nose. But can he convince her that the next best thing can really be forever?

Lucy and Ethan were “friends with benefits” but could they end up being more? He thought so but she wasn’t so willing to accept his love.

I liked Ethan. He was a real sweetheart. Ethan gave up a lot to move back to be with his son and hopefully Lucy. Since she was trying to date, and hopefully marry, he tired to give Lucy the space she wanted but he was drawn to her.

Lucy was likable enough. She was a bit naive when it came to Ethan and his feelings towards her. I wish she would have realized it soon.

It was a good read but I think it could have been edited down a bit.
