Cookies and Kisses

I was delighted with this book. It was funny and sweet. For once it wasn't centered around a baby or sex. Although, eventually the book had both. It was romantic to see the simplicity and love that goes into building a family. Neil is lonely and Taylor is the perfect friend and a great mother figure for Neil's kids. The Kids love Taylor, the town loves Taylor. Taylor is in love with Neil, but he wants to keep it just friends because he has been hurt badly by his ex-wife. Taylor is a very perceptive woman and understands Neil's pain and does not play any games, although it is hard for her not to show how much she loves him. The town, Neil's kids, even the dog Ollie loves Taylor. It was a lot of fun to see if Neil can conquer his fears to love Taylor back the way that she deserves. The cookies were a good touch. Taylor bakes cookis and is good at it. Even I was wanting to try them and was delighted to find the recipe in the back of the book. This is a great book that will indeed warm the heart.
