really liked it

This was precious. Two people one disillusioned and not trusting due to betrayal by those close to her. the other disillusioned and guilt ridden due to events beyond his control. they were childhood friends in need of each other but not wanting to reach out after drifting apart. So fate steps in and forces them to meet.

At first Niall acts distant. Why? Guilt that he shouldn’t have but does. He wants to protect Kayleigh and not let her get hurt by him or anyone but that doesn’t quite cut it for her. Kayleigh forges forward invading Niall’s thoughts even after he was a total jerk to her. Once he takes her idea in mind, he comes on board with her in making a software app to help find love. Except for these two love was right in front of them just both to scared to take it by the horns and run with it.

As they go through the rigamaroll of working together, they get close and lines do blur. With niall you see a kind and understanding man who has lost his way due to anger and guilt. Kayleigh is helping him to live again. To unfold and become who he once was a vibrant smiling kind man who lived life. Kayleigh has Niall show her how to live and become her own person. He encourages her and trusts her. Sometimes she takes advantage of this but he is steadfast and never strays.

As we watch this sweet relationship unfold we meet some fun characters at the nursing home who surprisingly are the heroes of this story. they will crack you up with their interactions. We also see the seedy characters the ones that get your rankles up and want you to slap them upside the head. These are the ones that push Kayleigh and Niall to succeed and show them that there is more to life and business that shady ways.

The author writes a sweet look at living again and finding strength and support in those you always knew but were to afraid to take a chance with. A story of forgiveness and finding love and life amongst those you treasure the most-friends and family. Friends who will be there no matter what and help you live again. Friends who become more and will have you feel safe and whole again. A sweet clean read that will have you smiling and rooting for the underdogs.
