Summary:
The story feels like Mother of the Year, Big Sky Country 1 and 2, and Home for the Holidays. They’re all small-town sort of tales.
Additional Comments:
- I think you only get 2 choices for love interest this go. There’s Mayor Dixon and Mr. Covington. I believe you can choose the mayor’s gender and Mr. Covington’s first name.
- I named the MC and Mr. Covington after characters in a book, but that’s neither here nor there.
- The basic premise is that the MC and Mr. Covington have a one-night stand wherein the MC ends up pregnant.
- The MC works for the mayor as a fixer/problem solver, trying to get the businesses in the community to thrive.
- There are unsavory types like the mayor’s other assistant and Cassandra. That one is a spoiled rich girl with an I-called-dibs on Covington complex.
- The MC also has a loving, older sister who dotes on her.
- I was too cheap for the baby basket gifts, but I’m sure they were adorable. I did however complete that darn baby blanket.
- I enjoy reading the trivia sections of fandom where they elaborate on tie-ins to other book series.
- If you want to see the baby, you have to read on to book 2. That’s somewhat disappointing after all this drama.
Conclusion:
Surprisingly fun even though nobody is put in mortal danger.
