ABOUT THE BOOK:

When the divorced mother of the groom goes head-to-head with the single father of the bride, they might be the next couple experiencing a heart-to-heart.

When my son asked me to take his ticket for the honeymoon that didn’t happen, I balked. What would I do on a ten-day vacation in Belize?

More importantly, what caused my son and the love of his life to call off their wedding?
I didn’t have an answer, and he wasn’t sharing
So, I’d traded places with him.

Over a week of sunshine and me-time was on the docket until he arrived.

Dallas Cole had silver in his beard, eyes the color of an ocean, and the most annoying drawl. And by annoying, I mean, thigh-clenching, heart-hammering, make me want to kiss him swagger.

Only, that’s something I would never do, because he’s the single father of the bride for the wedding that never was, and now, he’s encroaching on my parentmoon.

One house. One bed. Not happening.

So what if he calls me darlin’ in that swoony voice. Not going there despite his smirky grin amongst the gray on his jaw. Not going to think about the fact he saw me naked . . . by accident.

Nope.

The former father of the bride will only be going head-to-head with this protective mother of the groom, not lips to lips, or any other body part. And definitely not heart to heart.

Excerpt

“What I need . . .” I falter, choking on what to say. “You think you know what I need?”

“Yes.” He nods, confident and cocky, and I want to slap him. Then maybe, tackle him to the sand and take him up on his offer.

But the truth is, he’s wrong. He’s so off base. I’ve had years to analyze what I need from a man, and it isn’t sex.

“What I need . . .” I struggle to control the quake in my voice, and swallow before continuing. “Is a man to greet me in the morning. Say hello when he comes home from work. Ask me about my day and then really listen to what I have to say.” The lump forming in my throat nearly cuts off my speech.

“What I need is someone to hug me every day. Kiss me good night. Hold my hand. Support my decisions.” I jab a finger into my sternum as my voice rises. “Say please and thank you. Appreciate me. Respect me.”

Be faithful and committed, whispers through my head but I don’t share those traits, as I’m already opening myself up and vulnerable to potential mockery.

“If I go to the doctor, ask me what’s wrong and be concerned.”

His jaw ticks. “Is something wrong with you?”

“That’s not the point.” My voice lifts to a high squeak and I’m no longer worried about upsetting singing palm trees or crooning ocean waves. I straighten, shoulders back, hands fisted at my sides, as I glare at him. “These are the things I need.” I nod once, like punctuation at the end of my list.

Dallas slowly shakes his head, lowering his gaze to focus on the sand at our feet. He’s barefoot which I thought bizarre until we went to dinner and noticed several people dressed up but not wearing shoes.

“You didn’t mention love.” His rough voice is hardly more than a whisper, melting into the warm breeze around us.

“Isn’t that implied in all I just said? Those actions are love.”

Honestly, who reads, “When the divorced mother of the groom goes head-to-head with the single father of the bride, they might be the next couple experiencing a heart-to-heart.”, as part of a blurb and doesn’t immediately #oneclick?

Whomever you might be, you’re missing out!

Parentmoon is Dunbar at her finest and in her element. There are not many writers out there that have practically dedicated their entire writing career to mature characters finding their way to HEA and she continues to perfect her word wizardry again and again with every release! I loved Jo and Dallas. I loved the setting, the growth, the fun, the sexy, ALL.OF.IT.!! The story was full of charm and heart with enough LOL moments that I smiled thru the entire story!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

-4*

Jo is still trying to figure out who she really is. After years of taking care of her son, who’s now getting married, she’s feeling a bit emotional. And when the wedding is called off (temporarily), he sends her on his honeymoon, which she accepts. But what she does not expect is finding out that Dallas, who is future father in law, will be there too. She’s been attracted to him since she first laid eyes on him. But her past has left his mark on her and she’s fighting the attention to the fullest. But spending time with him only shows her how special a man he is.

But when their kids come to paradise and the truth is revealed, she has a hard time accepting everything changing so fast. And here’s where I got mad at Dallas. He was doing everything for a good reason but it was still a bit of manipulation on his part. The thing for which I could look past this, is the fact that he really loved her.

Overall it was a nice read and I’m looking forward to my own parentmoon when my kids grow up.
