When fate bobbles your dream, sometimes you have to make your own magic…

Award-winning author Beth Ciotta presents Marry Poppins, the third book in the contemporary fairy tale series—Impossible Dream—celebrating hope, love, and the magic of the human spirit!

She wants a family. He needs a wife. A marriage-of-convenience solves a myriad of problems for unlucky Georgie Poppins and down-on-his-luck Bryce Morgan. Falling in love wasn’t part of the bargain so no one is more surprised than Georgie and Bryce when sexual sparks ignite a full-blown romance. Unfortunately, as love swells, trouble mounts, including a glitch at Impossible Dream.com—an Internet company designed to match people with their most avid desire. Maybe Georgie and Bryce weren’t meant to be after all.

This is the first book from the Impossible Dream series that I've read, but it is not the first book by Beth Ciotta that I've read. Marry Poppins is the third in this series, but these are all stand alone novels. Having finished this one, I know I have to go back and read the other two, because these just made my heart so happy.

Georgie Poppins is a character that I could really relate too. She's unlucky at life and love. Bryce is a guy she's had a crush on for ages. When he gets left at the altar, she offers to help him with his niece and nephew.  They think they are going to have a sort of marriage of convenience, but love has a way of changing things.

I love the emotion that this book brought. Both characters have their share of problems and want to do the right thing by everyone. I also loved the side romance with Angel and Georgie's brother Ryan. There's a little bit of drama with that one, and that's where some of the tears will come from.

 This book was a quick read that will make you laugh and cry, but all in all will leave you feeling good about having read the book. Not much heat, but many many warm fuzzies.  Can't wait to read the novella that was teased at the end of this book!

THE ONLY THING BETTER THAN A SURPRISE FLING…

Sugar Creek, Vermont, is a world away from Los Angeles for high-powered, media-obsessed Harper Day. When she took the job doing publicity for the Cupcake Lovers, she never expected to be won over by the town’s old-fashioned charms. But that was before she moved into the Victorian vacation home of her dreams and fell in with a man whose good looks and irresistible ways are anything but small-town…

IS FINDING TRUE AND LASTING LOVE.

Sam McCloud is a widowed father of two. He and bossy, big-city Harper appear to have nothing in common… though the attraction they feel toward one another cannot be denied. But will their romance last longer than the day’s headlines? There’s more to Harper than meets the eye, and as it turns out, she needs to get married—fast. Little does Harper know that family-man Sam will do whatever it takes to keep her in Sugar Creek—even if that means taking matters into his own hands. And never letting her go…in the fourth novel in the Cupcake Lovers series, In the Mood For Love.

Review: In The Mood For Love is the fourth Cupcake Lovers book. I absolutely love this series. 

The thing I like the most about this one: our hero bakes! Yes! Nothing better than a man in the kitchen!

Oh and his kids are absolutely precious!

And then there's Harper. Shes a publicist that's doing work for Cupcake Lovers. She's also having a secret fling with Sam. 

I liked that both Sam and Harper have their own issues and they are very real characters that you love for their faults and flaws.  I also love the town, Sugar Creek, Vermont. This is what we all want small town America to be like. Full of quirky characters and fun places

However there's so much more to this story than just Sam and Harper. There's Vincent and Daisy and Adam and Peppy, all of these characters help bring this story to life and they tie in with each other in different ways.

I really enjoyed the secondary romances, almost as much as Harper and Sam's story. I love how he easily slipped into his role as a husband and protector, especially with her ex's father and the problems she had with him over the past few years.

I have to say, Daisy steals the show whenever she's there. I love the idea of an elderly lady with bright blue hair, dressing up as a moose! Really, I want an old lady like that in my life!

Definitely a fantastic read and a great addition to this series.
