Craft had his eye on Lovely for a while, but when he walks into her salon with his two daughters, he knows what he wants. But Lovely just got rid of man who lied to her and played her. Will she take a chance on Craft?

I was left a bit wanting on this. I love Craft and his babies. I love the connection he and Lovely were building. It was funny, and heartwarming in places. I love that they were all surrounded by so much family, even though in some places it seemed like the story was shifting to be more about them and less about Lovely and Craft. But it didn't feel as romantic as I would have liked. There was a meet cute, some flirting, and one date. I felt like it needed more. And maybe if the subplot hadn't taken up so much space we could have gotten it. Glen, his mom and grandfather were a mess and I don't know that I needed to see so much of them. Wise was a great character but she kind of overshadowed everyone, which is weird to do as a side character. All in all, the story had maybe too many moving parts and I wish it had settled a bit more. But I did like the main characters.
