Falling for the Single Mom by Alie GarnettMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A House of Many Women
This is the first in what appears to be an ongoing series based around an unusual family of 7 women. Seraphine, or Sera as she prefers to be called, got pregnant at 19 and married an older man who wasn’t the father of her daughter. In exchange he got a wife to help him with his 5 daughters, which his ex-wife had abandoned. Then a few weeks after the wedding he disappeared to South America and was never seen again! A few years after his disappearance Sera had another daughter from a one night stand.
Sera is only a few years older than the eldest daughter so she has more of a supervisory friend relationship with her stepdaughters. They all live together in the big old house that her now ex-husband bought for his family. It’s a house filled with chaos, arguments and love.
Harrison is a lawyer who works at the same firm as Sera. He thinks she’s a prude, but a gorgeous one. They’ve worked together for 10 years and have never got along. Then Harrison’s PA makes a harassment claim against him and Sera as head of HR has to look into the allegations.
This is an incredibly weird set-up for a romance novel but it strangely works. This author has a very vivid imagination and is clever about making all the strangeness hang together in a realistic and believable manner.
Harrison and Sera have a prickly but passionate start that grows deeply loving as time goes on and the author is good at helping you accept that change. Both characters have their flaws and the author doesn’t shy away from that. They also have redeeming qualities that help you forgive the flaws.
This is an interesting romance novel and I think I will try the next book because I really like the Lovely girls.
