Harlequin SuperRomance is one of my favorite Harlequin lines. The authors have time to really tease out the stories. PICKET FENCE SURPRISE by Kris Fletcher was particularly delightful, with two single parents finding out what love on this side of parenting can look like.

I appreciated that Heather had to wrestle with her own demons throughout, it made the HEA more satisfying, but I can't lie and say I wish it hadn't taken her quite so long! Like, I get there's baggage, but because I'm new to the series, the resolution felt drawn out instead of hard won.

Xander, however, was a winner for me from page one. I adored how self-effacing he was and honest. It's rare to find heroes that feel like men I know and Xander is one of them. I was thrilled to root for him and happy he and Heather worked things out after a couple of bumps.

If gentle, closed door romance is what you're in the market for, then I think PICKET FENCE SURPRISE by Kris Fletcher will fit the bill.
