Happily Ever After is the story of Mona and Joe. Mona is trying to make her dreams come true. She wants to turn a Victorian house into a bookstore/coffee shop/pottery store with the help of her friend, Liza. Unfortunately she has bought a lemon and now needs some serious help to get the store ready in the next six weeks.
Here comes Joe. Handyman extraordinaire, his "I can fix anything" attitude is just what Mona needs. She's just not sure that it's what she wants. Her ideal man is fictional and she is convinced that he doesn't exist in real life. Joe, on the other hand, is a man that never stays anywhere very long and doesn't want to get attached. Guess what? He gets attached.
Someone doesn't want The Footstep of Heaven shop to open. Various accidents around the place make Mona second guess her dream and her handyman. Mona is also hiding a secret about her past that makes her feel that she doesn't deserve anything from God. Joe as well has some major secrets he's hiding and the way he guards them puts a wedge between him and Mona.
This one had a few twists and unexpected turns. I like being let in on a secret early on, that way I can anticipate when the other characters will actually find out. Some of the secrets in this one really frustrated me because I had to wait for them. Not a big deal. I did enjoy this book. There are more in the series: Tying the Knot, The Perfect Match, My Foolish Heart and The Shadow of Your Smile. If they came up free, I would probably pick them up. They won't be going on my watch list though. Decent book!
