My Review
This story was quick to draw my attention with it’s in depth details of what each character is feeling as the setting is laid out. I was able to read it in just one day. The way this author writes makes the stories come alive. It takes you on an emotional rollercoaster that will leave you smiling! I laughed , cried , and at times felt like shaking them asking them what are you doing !
There’s so much to love about this book: the humor, small town setting, the vibrant descriptions, the engaging characters and of course the food.
It was a clean romance with no foul language or descriptive sex scenes. Love these characters and the plot of this book. This is the first time I’ve read a book by this author, and I really enjoyed it. Im am really looking forward to reading the next one.
A fun, happily ever after story. Dad finds out he’s a dad after a call from CPS. He’s totally unprepared for the task. Enter cute, bubbly daycare worker who’s drawn to daughter and father. Can a working arrangement turn into something more? Definitely a heart warming read!
I thought provoking love story

Did destiny cross their paths? Abby is a school teacher but longs for a family. Burned in love she no longer has those hopes. Declan was once married only to have the woman he love leave. When he finds out that he has a daughter who is living in a dysfunctional home, he files for custody. Abby is the new daycare teacher who comes into contact with not only Callie but her father as well. He is captivated on sight and it transforms them both. Will Callie be the catalyst that opens up the hearts of Declan and Abby to love again? I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
Abby has always wanted to have a family, but due to a broken relationship doesn’t want to be married. Declan was broken hearted when the woman he loved left him. Neither are looking for a relationship.
One day, Declan and Abby both get separate calls that change the course of their lives. He finds out that he’s a father. She gets offered her dream job at a daycare. Both calls are the catalyst for them to meet Callie.
Declan finds himself falling for his daughter, even though he has never wanted children. Abby falls for this small, abused girl who clearly needs a protective mother-bear.
This story is about how the redemptive love of a child can open hearts to the possibility of all encompassing love. I really enjoyed it!
I received this book for free as an ARC, but have not been paid or influenced in any way for this review.
A Sweet Romance.
Declan has a shock when he learns, in a phone call from CPS, that he has a four year old daughter and is asked to have temporary custody of her. He is at a total loss, having no experience of children and until Abby steps in to help he is unable to connect with Callie. Both Declan and Abby have sworn off relationships but to protect sweet little Callie, they are prepared to enter a fake relationship. A gentle and enjoyable read.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This was a sweet story. Abby is trying to find her way in life. She has always wanted to be a wife and mother, but that has not been working out for her. She was hired on at the local daycare. On her first day, she meets Declan’s daughter, Callie, and falls in love. Abby’s mothering instincts come out full force after seeing bruises on Callie. I love how Abby takes the child under her wing and steps up. Declan is beside himself. He discovered he had a four-year-old daughter the day before taking her to the daycare. Declan has been trying his best to care for Callie, but is having a very difficult time. I enjoyed watching him become the father that every little girl wants and needs. Declan needed more help and calls on Abby to help him out. The chemistry was definitely there between Declan and Abby, yet they’re both holding back after a quickie wedding. This book pointed out how important communication is in a relationship. Declan and Abby took their time learning that lesson. Overall, this was an enjoyable read. I recommend to those that enjoy sweet romance with a fake relationship.
It’s not your typical love story. Two persons who gets together because of a little girl. Abby is strong and ready to sacrifice even her own happiness for sake of the others. Declan don’t believe in happy ever after or love anymore. Still life cross them, entangle them together and then.. well.. lots of thing happening. The plot is quit fresh and interesting, I forgot myself in this book. A Sweet Bay sweet series.
Declan Chambers is a successful businessman who is single and ok with that status until he finds out about a daughter he didn’t know anything about. Now, he wants full custody and he needs a wife immediately to make that happen.
Abby changes career paths because she loves children and works for a daycare. While there, she met a single dad with a beautiful little girl that was shy and scared. She attached herself to Abby and they formed a bond. When she finds out that Cammie needs her to bridge the way between herself and her father, Abby steps in to help. Is it possible for Abby to find a family and someone to love her and is it possible for Declan to change and be a dad who is fully committed to his family? Will their time together be a temporary fix or can it be more?
This was a sweet, romance that was a quick read. It was clean with no foul language or descriptive sex scenes. I was given an arc copy and I willingly offer my honest review.
My Convenient Marriage by Rachel Taylor a five-star read that is super convenient. This was a sweet and romantic story that will have you wishing you could run away to Sweet Bay, attending all of the Sweet Bay Brides ceremonies, they are so well written. Declan, Declan, Declan, what are we going to do with you, he really does need more in his life and when he gets it, well the story is just beginning. Callie was such a sweet little girl, she will warm even the coldest of hearts and she will always have a place in this readers. Abby is a darling and someone I would love to have over for coffee and while she was at it, she could give me some coking tips. This is a warm and sweet read that you will adore.
Such a cute sweet story. I really enjoyed the story. I did have a frustrated groan when things seemed to crumble. But if you like clean Sweet stories this is worth a groan or two. I highly recommend.
