3.5 stars
Summary: Since her divorce from Cal three years ago, Penny has become a sought after chef. Now Cal needs her to work for him, to save his family's restaurant. Penny is a different woman now. She's even pregnant (via in vitro) and ready to be a mother on her own. As they work together they come to realize how much they still matter to each other. Penny also learns Cals secret, the one she never realized was driving a wedge between them all those years ago. Cal has a daughter that he gave up for adoption, and he has never gotten over the guilt. Their romance rekindles, and they both come to accept the mistakes they made the first time around. In the end they take their second chance at happily ever after.

Things I liked:
-This is the first book in a family series, so a lot of the story also involved getting to know Cal's brothers and his sister. I liked getting a peek at each one of their lives and it has made me curious about the other pols in this serie.
- The story was told mostly from Penny's perspective, but there were sections from Cal's perspective which were insightful.
-I liked that the two main characters had not spent years pining for each other, but had honestly grown and matured in their time apart.
- Although it was a little weird that Penny was already pregnant, I liked the Cal and Penny's relationship. It wasnt built around just physical attraction. It was defiantly more about mutual respect and support of one another.

Jalyn I would feel so odd to date someone while pregnant with a baby that wasn't his!
