Una bella storia dolce e romantica sulle seconde occasioni che mi è piaciuta molto.
Katie è giovane, bella, ricca e sembra avere proprio tutto ma, quando al matrimonio del fratello rivede il suo ex, Dean Prescott, si rende conto che le manca qualcosa di molto importante perché non lo ha mai dimenticato. Al ritorno a casa, sulla soglia, scopre che qualcuno ha abbandonato una neonata che lei decide di tenere con sé, almeno fino a quando non riuscirà a scoprire chi ne sia la madre.
Dean, che non ha mai superato l’abbandono di Katie, sa che lei gli sta nascondendo la verità sulla bambina, ma quando insieme scopriranno l’identità della madre quello che sembrava per loro l’inizio di una seconda occasione rischia invece di segnarne irrimediabilmente la fine.
Una lettura veramente piacevole nella quale ritroviamo anche i personaggi del precedente libro e dove possiamo vedere come le singole storie procedano e si combinino tra loro.
Bei personaggi, positivi, che si ritrovano anche con simpatia e che mi hanno accompagnato con vero piacere nella lettura.

Book 1 "Not Quite Dating" was Jessie's story. I loved the way it unfolded for her and Jack.
I loved the first book and started the second book "Not Quite Mine" the same day! This book is through Katie's (Jack's sister) eyes. I loved her story just as much. It was full of friendship, bonding, love, lust, motherhood and family. The author wrote it out in the most perfect way... now onto book 3 "Not Quite Enough"... I definitely would recommend this series! ( )

Great second chance story with a nice twist to the storyline. Katie and Deans story is a wonderful read and I highly recommend it. I would also recommend reading the first in this series (not quite dating) to fully understand all the characters and their backstory. ( )

"Not Quite Mine" opens with the wedding of Katelyn Morrison's brother and the love of his life. Kate, a directionless heiress, delights in her brother's newly-found happiness but is uncomfortable being in the presence of Dean, her brother's best friend and with whom she broke off a secreted relationship a year before. Kate and Dean had grown up together and were deeply in love but something shatters Kate's ability to pursue that happiness. His stares from across the room are just burning through her.
Later that evening back at Kate's flat, she and Monica, Maid of Honor and sister to Kate's new sister-in-law, are engaging in a bit of girl talk. Just as they're about to call it a night, the door buzzer goes off. Kate peers out the door only to discover that a two-week-old infant has been left to her care by someone who knows of Kate's desire for children and also of her inability to have them. A note attached to the car seat implores Kate to look after the child, accept her as her own daughter and do well by her. The note goes on to say that the mother is not in a position to care for the child and that the infant's father is not ready for her. Who could possibly know such intimate details of Kate's life and abandon such a precious infant?
The story develops from there. There's a bit of sleuthing in finding the mother of the child; a bit of cat-and-mouse through the re-kindled chemistry between Kate and Dean as well as the large quantities of exhaustion in working, caring for a young infant, and keeping it all a secret until Kate is able to confront the child's mother and sort things out.
This book is an engaging read that begged me not to put it down. It stirred in me thoughts of my own up-bringing and how we must continue on with whatever life flings your way. I'm just grateful that I don't have to do this in a pair of Kate's stylish stiletto heels. ( )

Not Quite Mine (Not Quite #2) by Catherine Bybee

I first read a novel call Not Quite Dating by Catherine Bybee and really enjoyed the story and the authors writing. So when book two in this series was up I knew right away I had to read it. Catherine Bybee’s writing is really good, the story line and characters are well written this is one of those books when you sit down to start to read it you get so caught up in the story that before you know it your at the end.

In Not Quite Mine we start off at Jack and Jessie’s wedding from Not Quite Dating, and Katie and Dean are both the main characters in this novel. Katie who is Jack’s sister has always been a bit of a spoiled wild rich girl and Dean who is one of Jack’s best friends has always held some major feelings for Katie. Katie and Dean have a past that they kept a secret from everyone; part of the fun was the sneaking around. But when the relationship ended they both pretended to move on, each one thinking the other never really cared. As we get into this story we find out that they both held secrets from one another and really do still have some feeling for each other.

Right after the wedding Katie finds a 2 week old baby left in front of her door with a note asking her to take care of the baby as her own. Katie has no idea who the mother is and how she knew Katie couldn’t have children of her own. Of course she immediately falls in love with Savannah and decides she has to keep this a secret till she can find out more. Keeping this secret is going to be hard work for Katie especially since Dean is snooping around trying to figure out what is going on with Katie and why is she acting so different. Dean confronts her on her behaviour using the excuse he is keeping an eye on her for her brother Jack, he can tell Katie is hiding something.

There is so much more to this story then just romance it’s about letting go of your past, growing and the changes one goes through when there is someone more important than yourself. What happens when Dean finds out about Savannah, and then Katie’s mother seems to appear out of nowhere? Then to make things even harder is watching Dean with Savannah and knowing how great a father he would be?

This whole novel is fantastic, I loved reading about Jessie, Jack and Danny, and Gaylord Jack and Katie’s dad all the characters are so well written you cannot help but want more. I for one cannot wait for book 3 in this series.

I have rated Not Quite Mine a 4.5 stars and would recommend anyone reading my review to go pick up Not Quite Dating and Not Quite Mine. Catherine Bybee writing is one of the better romance authors I have read and love her writing style; she definitely is one of my favorite authors.
