The Bradford clan is a large family of four brothers and one sister. Zane is the grumpy brother. Because of several losses, his job as kicker and causing his sister’s injury he’s a little bitter. He is not looking for love or relationship because he thinks he destroys everything. Now Rachel is the original Ms. Sunshine, she is happy and light. Now Rachel’s life is not necessarily easier she just deals with her loads in life differently. Rachel is currently taking care of her special needs brother because of how he was treated. Unfortunately there is history between Rachel’s father and Zane’s parents. So this little issue also cause some minor conflicts. This is a lighthearted feel good book. Especially when starts to fall in love with Zane and started to let go of his fears of also breaking and destroying things. Tia Louise is a new author to me and I’m eager to read about the remaining Bradford child especially because the banter between them was so hilarious.
