About Rebecca Talley
Rebecca Talley lives in Texas, where she spends most of her time in the pool trying to avoid the heat and humidity. She has authored novels, stories for print and online magazines, and children’s books. She now focuses on writing romance because she believes everyone deserves their happily-ever-after.
I won a giveaway and had multiple options to choose from and chose this book because I was interested in the speech therapy aspect of the story. My daughter is just about to embark on a grad study program for speech pathology so I was intrigued to read more about it. I personally would have liked more details in the therapy that would be used in the situation of the book but I think it would have bogged down the story for other people so I guess that was okay as is.
The story isn’t deep and it is fairly predictable but I enjoyed Hailey’s sweet relationship with her grandparents. Gran is pretty over the top on her matchmaking but I enjoyed that about her. And Gramps was just a sweetie.
I think I actually enjoyed her relationship with the grandparents more than I did the romance but it was okay too. Another typical romance “I know what I feel but I’m not going to say anything and instead I will assume I know what you are thinking and feeling”. But it was cute and sweet.
