A cute story

I liked this book very much. In fact, I couldn't put it down, so I read it all in one night. I liked how the main characters were middle aged and still vibrant. There was a tragic part of the whole story that they had let so much time go by before finding each other again, but there was also a sweetness to the story that would not have been there without the heartbreak. The nieces and nephews were delightful and I am hoping that there will be more books about them in the future. We know that Destiny had something to do with their marriages, so perhaps this will become the first book in a series.
Another great one
