After getting married in "Paris A to Z," Jon and Cole are back in Arizona living near Jon's widowed father, George. Cole is rich and with Jon as his accountant, their lives are pretty easy; however, Cole wants something he may never have - a baby. He knows that finding a woman who will give up her child to two men won't be easy, and after nearly a year of waiting he is becoming desperate. On top of that, George is pushing him to reconcile with his estranged mother. He tries by inviting her to spend Christmas with them in Germany, but Cole and Jon leave early to fly back to Arizona when they learn that an expectant woman is interested in meeting them. Will she pick them to adopt her baby? If not, how much longer will they have to wait? Will Cole and his mother ever forgive each other enough to have a relationship?
This book is part of the Coda series, and I enjoyed it more than some of the others featuring Jon and Cole. Cole really grew in this story, letting us see his desperation and despair over wanting something that his money can not buy. His interactions with his mother are uncomfortable and sad but feel real. We also get to glimpse his thoughts and self-reprimands in his e-mails to his best friend, Jared, in which he describes his and Jon's journey to find a baby. He became a much deeper character in this book, and I grew to like him more and more. 140 pages (Kindle edition).
