Mother Hater

This was my favourite of the series, but Daphne Elliot was the reason I read the series in the first place.

Delia was the man-hater, out of the four moms who moved into the brownstone together she was never going to fall. But Dylan's baby is due and she needs a contractor to get the house up to spec. Beckett enlists Enzo and riles both of them up enough to make it work.

This book took a fairly two-dimensional character and developed her into the best of the bunch. Delia comes across as a man-hater and just mean but actually she's trying to keep it all together and protect her friends and kids. She's fired all the contractors so far, but what nobody bothered to ask was why. Some were bad, some were lazy, some were just taking her money. Beckett and Cortney pressure Enzo to take the contract by promising future work with their family businesses. Enzo gets caught up in the family and falls in love with the kids as well as Delia and sees her for what she really is. Which is apparently more than her friends were capable of doing.

All in, it was a good read and I'm looking forward to Daphne Elliot's new series coming out.
