The Godparent Trap

Colby and Rip have been in each other's lives for years. She is best friends with his sister and they went on one disasterous date. They are also Godparents to his sister and her husband's two young kids, Viera and Ben. When tragedy occurs they have to step in and raise the kids together. They had wonderful chemistry and banter. It was fun seeing the push and pull between them, especially as they tried to figure out the parenting thing. My favorite parts, though, were when they were vulnerable with each other about their grief, pain, and the past they shared. There are emotional and heartbreaking moments, but also lots of humor and sweet moments too. The kids were great characters and written realistically for their ages. I loved the bonds they formed with Colby and Rip and how they became their own family unit, figuring things out as they went. This was a great read and I flew through it in a day. I have read a number of Rachel's books but I think this is my favorite!
