After her father loses the family fortune in an insider-trading scheme, single mom Parker Welles is faced with some hard decisions. First order of business: go to Gideon's Cove, Maine, to sell the only thing she now owns—a decrepit house in need of some serious flipping. When her father's wingman, James Cahill, asks to go with her, she's not thrilled . . . even if he is fairly gorgeous and knows his way around a toolbox. Having to fend for herself financially for the first time in her life, Parker signs on as a florist's assistant and starts to find out who she really is. Maybe James isn't the glib lawyer she always thought he was. And maybe the house isn't the only thing that needs a little TLC . . .

— Library Journal Starred Review" It was obvious where the story was going and it was still nice to read. "
— Andijkl, 1/24/2014" I kind of became bored with KH's older books because they seemed to follow the exact same plot formula. I prefer her newer books because the hero is usually more involved and doesn't just show up in the last quarter of the book. This book was a cute read and I will definitely pick up her next one. 3.5/5 stars. "
