This past weekend I decided to take a break from mysteries and read a book that didn’t include a single dead body. Lia’s London’s latest release – Love from A to Z – was the perfect choice. And just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Description
Falling in love is a family affair…
For seven years, Antonio Seneca has had to be a father to his two younger brothers. He might struggle in the kitchen, but he makes sure the boys get their homework done and stay out of trouble. Only now that they’ve discovered girls, he has to decide if a love life would be a welcome distraction or a complete disaster.
Smart and sassy Zaira Vasquez got herself through a nursing degree and landed her first job at a hospital, but being a single, working mom is exhausting, no matter how cute her toddler daughter is. With only two relatives nearby to lend a hand, she needs adult companionship. Could it be that the handsome young man across the street is a remedy for her loneliness?
Growing from neighbors to co-workers to friends, Antonio and Zaira try dating while parenting, and parenting while dating, and find that the two occupations aren’t always compatible. How can they navigate the chaos of the present and the heartaches of the past to form something beautiful for their future?
My Review
This light and easy boy-meets-girl story features two strong main characters, both deeply affected by events from their pasts. Antonio is not at all what Zaira expects. He’s nothing like the gorgeous player he portrayed on a reality show. Yeah, he’s still gorgeous, but he’s a nice guy. A responsible guy who is doing his best to raise his younger brothers on his own. The attraction is immediate – they click; but they both resist. They both want to find love, however fear repeating past mistakes. You can’t help rooting for them to find their “happily ever after.”
This is a sweet “clean” romance that focuses on family and family values. The story is sprinkled with humorous antics and entertaining dialog and made for a delightful escape. I just may have to go back and read the rest of the series.
