With her signature charm and sense of humor, bestselling author Helena Hunting creates a novel about love, family, and second chances in Make a Wish…

Ever have a defining life moment you wish you could do over? Harley Spark has one. The time she almost kissed the widowed father of the toddler she nannied for. It was so bad they moved across the state and she never saw them again.

Fast forward seven years and she’s totally over it. At least she thinks she is. Until Gavin Rhodes and his adorable now nine-year-old daughter, Peyton, reappear at a princess-themed birthday party hosted by Spark House, Harley’s family’s event hotel. Despite trying to avoid the awkwardness of the situation, she can’t help but notice how unbearably sexy he looks in a tutu. Add to that a spontaneous hives breakout, and it’s clear she’s not even remotely over the mortification of her egregious error all those years ago.

Except Gavin seems oblivious to her inner turmoil. So much so that he suggests they get together for lunch. For Peyton’s sake, of course. It’s the perfect opportunity to heal old wounds. Or it could just reopen them. This is one of those times Harley wishes she could see the future…

MY REVIEW

Once upon a time Harley almost kissed her boss, the man for whom she was nannying his adorable daughter, Peyton. It freaked Gavin out so much he moved away and she hasn't seen him since. Until now. Until he and Peyton make an appearance at one of the children's birthday parties she so loves throwing. AND he wants to see her again. She's not sure what to think but perhaps it will be good for some closure on what was left on such an abrupt manner. Or perhaps more...

Gavin's lived for his daughter Peyton since the day she was born. Is now the time he gets to have a little for himself? Seeing Harley again has brought up feelings he wasn't ready for back when she used to be Peyton's nanny. Back when he was a newly single father and grieving his wife. But if he really does want Peyton in his life, he will have to learn to open up to both her and Peyton about Peyton's mother, and lay ghosts to rest so Harley doesn't have to come in second to the ghost of Gavin's first love.

What a sweet way to end this delightful series. Harley is definitely my favorite Spark sister with her sensitive heart and loving nature. She was at a crossroads, seeing her sisters in love and wanting to take their hotel in new directions but kind of leaving Harley out of the planning. I loved reading as she found her place, found her real calling, and found love with Gavin and Peyton. Gavin is equally adorable with his daughter, making him swoony af. Single dad romances are my jam, Harley, Gavin and Peyton are the reason why.
