Not the best in the series, but still worth reading

FOR THE LOVE OF MIKE! By Muriel JensenFOR THE LOVE OF MIKE by Muriel Jensen is another book in the Harlequin series "Cooper's Corner", a small town in the northeast, centering on a Bed and Breakfast called Twin Oaks. In this story, Mike Flynn and his two daughters and huge St Bernard take a vacation in the small town of Cooper's Corner, while Colleen O'Connor and her two boys and Siamese are taking a vacation courtesy of her employer. Both families happen to be staying at the Twin Oaks. When they meet by accident, it's not love at first sight. While the kids all get along with each other and with the other parent, the two adults clash in a big way. As with all romances, Mike and Colleen do start to have feelings for each other, but Colleen has a wall that prevents her from getting into any serious relationships. She was hurt by her ex-husband, and has decided not to get involved in any permanent relationships to avoid getting hurt again, or disappointing her young sons. Mike does not have custody of his daughters, but all Mike wants now is to have a family again, and it takes some doing for him to convince Colleen that they belong to each other. While this was not the best in the Coopers Corner series, I still did enjoy FOR THE LOVE OF MIKE. The writing in the beginning was a little stiff, and I did not buy the fact that the two animals happened to have the same homophonic sounding names. (Chewy and Chiue). But once I got past that issue, I had no problems getting into the story and enjoying it. This reviewer is giving FOR THE LOVE OF MIKE 3 and a half stars.
