The blurb
After that idiot of a husband ran off with that broomstick of a girl, single-mom Donna thinks there's no sunshine in her future. What she needs now is a hunk of a guy who loves her and her three-legged dog with no complications.
Solution? Call the police.
Mark is a single dad with two big worries – protect and serve, and his autistic son Karl. Desperately he wants someone who'll love him and his son without question and with no complications. He's been hurt before and Karl needs stability – not short dates. So he'll do anything for his kid – even lie to protect him.
Can these two get it together and get together? Is Mark the hunk Donna needs? Is Donna the rock Mark can lean on? If they look hard enough, they'll find Somebody to Love.

Donna is a single working mum to Matt, Findus and Sadie, but beneath that strong exterior is a woman that is still reeling from what her ex-husband did to her.
Mark, is a hard working police officer and single dad to Karl. This is a dad who goes the extra mile both in his job and at home with his autistic son. Add into the mix a father that is becoming more dependent, though trying to be fiercely independent.
This must be quite a small community as the two main character paths do cross quite often, even after their disastrous attempt at dating should see them go their separate ways. Several misunderstandings and some explosive situations follow, making this novel a real page-turner.
The author has written into this on/off romance some very moving scences, not only for the main characters but those around them. She explores the subjects of getting old and losing independence, and autism with empathy, making this not just a romance.
This is one fiery read
9 out of 10 for me!
Thank you to the author for a review copy. This did not influence my review.
