After her father loses the family fortune in an insider-trading scheme, single mom Parker Welles is faced with some hard decisions. First order of business: go to Gideon's Cove, Maine, to sell the only thing she now owns—a decrepit house in need of some serious flipping. When her father's wingman, James Cahill, asks to go with her, she's not thrilled…even if he is fairly gorgeous and knows his way around a toolbox.Having to fend for herself financially for the first time in her life, Parker signs on as a florist's assistant and starts to find out who she really is. Maybe James isn't the glib lawyer she always thought he was. And maybe the house isn't the only thing that needs a little TLC….

This stupid? This annoyingly cliched? Might explain why no one ever invites me go hang with the girls. I...
I swore off Higgins since her heroines usually drive me bananas, but I was desperate during a long commute and downloaded this from the library (what did I ever do without Overdrive?). She actually deviated from the usual formula - had a SEP feel to it. Parker was surprisingly matter-of-fact and c...
Somebody to Love veers away from the typical Kristan Higgins path - which is both a good and a bad thing. On one hand, it's refreshing to have a protagonist who is a single mom by choice, not by circumstance; who isn't actively pining and seeking her Mr. Right; whose is perfectly happy with her life...
wavering between a 3 and a 4...probably like 3.5
