Summary from Good Reads:

Gracie Norton has happily relocated from north Georgia to a quaint community on Florida’s gulf coast. Since she loves children and animals, she’s thankful for her new job as a veterinary assistant, and she’s drawn to the precious twins who’ve moved in next door. Their handsome but reserved father is a different story, however. 

Widower Blake Donovan hopes moving his young twins to a small coastal town will give them all a fresh start. Yet his dissatisfaction with his job and his unwanted, growing attraction for his pretty neighbor are frustrating him. He wonders if he will ever feel a sense of peace again. 

When a serious situation occurs, Gracie must overcome her biggest fear to help Blake and his twins. In doing so, she realizes how much she cares for the children and their father. Blake’s medical emergency results in a restoration of his faith—and helps him realize he can’t deny his feelings for Gracie. Could young twins be the matchmakers to bring about an unexpected romance? 

Review:

This is my first book by Patti. At times, this book reminded me of a Love Inspired book. It has hooks that are common for that line. I really enjoyed Blake's twins. There were some cute moments. I did feel the attraction to falling in love happened a little too fast because Gracie and Blake didn't know each other that well. Most of their interactions felt like Gracie was mostly only falling in love with the kids and not really knowing anything much about Blake. I wish the interaction with Gracie and Blake was fleshed out more. Although that was too fast for my opinion, I still like this book.
