Ivy Adams is content with her life. Between family, church, her teaching job and volunteer work at a food pantry, Ivy's life is plenty busy and fulfilling. At least she thinks so. But her mom is determined to play matchmaker and see Ivy married and settled with Brent Connors. Brent's a nice guy, but he's not Ivy's idea of Prince Charming. Then there's Carter Smith... Carter Smith has his hands full supporting his three children and coping with the loss of his wife. He doesn't have time for distractions...especially beautiful Ivy Adams. Besides, Ivy is Miss Adams, his daughter's teacher. And that's how things should stay. But as the two are brought together, ignoring their attraction becomes harder. Carter can't stop thinking about Ivy. And Ivy begins to wonder if she's found her happily-ever-after romance. Can they trust God to provide--even love? Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

I also see that another reviewer mentioned that there was a book previous to this one--I have not read that either, so I don't know what lingering question she felt it answered.
I liked the romance part a bit better than I usually do. Circumstances of life caused them to meet and their love for each other grew over time of interacting in ways other than traditional dating or boyfriend/girlfriend activities. I liked that Carter is a hardworking man who is doing his best to raise his 3 children after his wife died. I can understand his reluctance to take advantage of the pantry but pride is a bad thing--we all need help from time to time. I was glad to see he donated to the pantry when his financial situation improved and he was able to do so to help others who needed help.
I both understood and was a bit puzzled by Ivy's reaction to her mother's relationship with Phil. Ivy was plotting to get the two together in the hopes that it would distract her mother from matchmaking, but yet when it happened, Ivy seemed dismayed. I wasn't sure if that stemmed from how quickly it happened or from Ivy's own disappointment that Phil moved faster than Carter (which isn't really fair as each life situation is different). ( )
