This story was filled with characters I would enjoy knowing. It was also filled with a quirky loving extended family on one side and loving sister, grandfather, mean step mother, and a father on the other. All of this and a happily ever after ending.

The clock was old and packed away in a box, it had not been used for ninety years but it began working with it tick-tock sound every time a certain couple started kissing. How romantic can you get? The characters are so warm and special in this book you will enjoy everything about the end. Happy to recommend this book.

This is a love story, but I enjoyed the strong family love that both Darby and Chad expressed. It is really funny at times more sentimental others. A fun summer read.

The author took the main female character, Darby, on a journey where she discovers how to reach out and take control of her future getting a backbone and using her talents and skills in a way that brings her pleasure versus just stability and a solid job opportunity. This was a long time coming as she is the proverbial doormat at the beginning to both her English long distant romance and her boss.

If you're looking for steaming romance this one is not it. It's a sweet love story where both characters are flawed/human but still connect.

The main character's family is hilarious! So good to see the importance of family in the story! I really liked that the main character and love interest have to work at the relationship, and she learns some things about herself that help her mature and be ready for the relationship. I loved the clock in the story, but wanted it more involved, and more explanation about how and why it works the way it does! I also enjoyed her best friend and can't wait to hear her story next. I wish there was a prologue to let us know what happened with the couple, the ranch, the ex-girlfriend, and grandma. Can't wait for the next in the series!

This book was out of what I normally read but I enjoyed it immensely! Darby is a woman who spent one evening with a man in London and now he's coming to see her in the states. They have Skyped and she thinks she loves him. While waiting for his plain she meets Chad, because he spills coffee on her. There is a little there. But they part ways...until fate intercedes. I'm not going to spoil the book. This is a sweet romance! I Love Darby's big Catholic family. A great read!
