Genre: 
Contemporary

Caroline Taylor desperately wants to provide a stable home for her two young sons after her divorce. Unfortunately, an eviction notice sends her scrambling to find a new place to live with few options. While looking she meets Air Force Sergeant Geno D’Antoni who is trying to singlehandedly raise his own two teenage sons. When a rental agreement falls through, Geno offers Caroline and her boys his own basement and the two strike a deal. As the two families learn to live alongside one another both friendship and passion sparks between the parents even while both their exes attempt to ruin the plan. Neither Caroline nor Geno know it, but their year just became a lot more interesting.

 

A fantastic contemporary romance, “A Year with Geno” takes two divorced parents and throws them together in a way that allows real romance to develop, as well as setting the stage for great family drama and comedy. Furthermore, it’s a romance that could actually happen in real life. Caroline is gun shy and terrified to move past the friendship she develops with Geno. Yet, her interactions with Geno and his sons as well as her own are admirable, and a bit funny, particularly when she teaches his oldest to drive. Geno is the caring devoted guy any woman would want and the exes are perfectly flawed. The story is a steady progression over a year’s time as well.  A worthwhile must read!.
