Way too wordy for me with no character voices at all...I tried to finish it but no go.

Summer certainly makes an impression on Gabriel when she interviews for the position of bilingual teacher for his 4-year old daughter, Marisol. She doesn't seem impressed with the international singer superstar at all. In fact, during the interview she's completely professional and maybe even a little haughty. She's young and beautiful, but he doesn't expect that to pose a problem. He's determined to keep their relationship strictly professional, and Summer is, too. Neither of them has an idea that one little girl will melt their hearts and join them together.

This was a quick read with a lot of interesting characters. Summer and Gabe take center stage, of course, but his parents and daughter are wonderful secondary characters. They're doomed when Marisol and Gabe's mother play matchmaker. I enjoyed watching Gabe and Summer's relationship develop. I just wish it took a bit more time; once they decide to go for it, it's full steam ahead. The conflicts kept me reading, but once it nears the end, everything's tied up a bit too neatly. Things won't always be wonderful, and I'd liked to have seen them weather a disaster or two to really build their relationship. However, I'll admit it was fun reading and these two characters definitely have great chemistry. Watching Gabe become jealous and protective was delightful. It ends wonderfully with a heartwarming epilogue. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. I'm glad I gave it a try and look forward to reading more of the author's works.
