Love & Misdirection by Mari Jane Law

Thank you @hyggebooktours @marijanelaw1 for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. I fell in love with Love & Misdirection straight the way. This is book 3 of the series, but you can read as a standalone as I did. The main characters are Harmony who is fostering baby called Patience and Harmony wants to adopt her, but she has her own problems going on . Then there's James who lost his wife and has a son and has moved across a children's home where Harmony works. This is a beautifully story that tug at my heart and I loved how caring and loving Harmony is to the children she's looking after, and she is so patient. I really connected with her and wanted and was willing her to have a happy ending. I found Love and Misdirection hard to put down. I was attached to the book straight away, and it is very well written that keeps the reader engaged which is brilliant. Fantastic read but you will need tissues 5 stars. Blurb Two people.
