It was a Real Good Time...

Lauren Blakely writes, Andi Arndt and Sebastian York narrate, and I am one happy camper. This little treat was very satisfying and I was sad that it was over so quickly. The characters were great and I loved that Campbell was such a down-to-earth rockstar...I mean, former teen heartthrob.

I absolutely loved that both the hero and heroine are single parents and put their kids at a high level of priority in their lives. Sure, there is a limit to how much you should sacrifice, but your kids should always be a consideration in major decisions.

It was also pleasant to not have a "deadbeat" dad or "self-centred" mum playing the part of the ex. Campbell's wife died when he was 23 and their daughter was two so she's been out of their lives for a long time. With Mackenzie, her story is VERY different and it made me smile. I loved the dynamics of Mackenzie's relationship with the father and it was obvious that both parents adore their son and only want the best for him.

Once Upon a Real Good Time was funny, sweet and very sexy; exactly what I've come to expect from Lauren Blakely. The characters were interesting, the storyline kept me entertained from start to finish and the narrators do an amazing job. I'm definitely going on in the series.
