Poppy’s husband was murdered 5 years ago and left behind a Birthday List (like a bucket list but things he wanted to do for each of his birthdays). Poppy decided to tackle the list to help herself move on. One of the first things she does for the list is take a karate class where she ends up running into the cop who delivered the news of her husband’s murder.

Cole is transfixed by seeing her again and committed to pursuing the chemistry that was between them, even though he could see that Poppy was terrified of moving on. He ends up helping her tackle the list. Cole was very sweet and I enjoyed seeing him be so patient with Poppy as she continued grieving and learned to release her guilt in moving on with someone new. There was even a little mystery thrown in as Cole took over working on the murder case.

As much as I enjoyed this one, I think it left me even more intrigued for the other book in the series which is about Poppy’s brother and his ex-wife (Poppy’s best friend). I listened to the audiobook on hoopla and enjoyed both narrators!
