The last thing Soleil Freeman wants is to have a baby and settle down with a traditional family. Independent Soleil is mentor to a house full of chosen teens at Rainbow Farm in California, interning to further the art of gardening for their own lacking communities. The earthy Soleil hasn't figured in the outcome of the perfect summer distraction with the military devoted hunk, Captain West Morgan.

What a Christmas surprise West discovers when he returns from Colorado to relocate his Alzheimer's ridden father. Even though West and Soleil are at a Mexican standoff, the hot sexual attraction rekindles their interest. With both routed in their direct opposite worlds, it seems there is no way either will give up their own lifestyle. Long- distance fathering leaves much to be desired for West, who wants to be there for his baby.

This cute story written by Jamie Sobrato consists of two very set-in-their-ways adults. The characters are strong-willed and interesting. Enough of their family background is woven into the story to give it the depth to understand where Soleil and West are both acquiring their outlooks on commitment. I enjoyed this read and would look forward to more by this author.
