Meet Penelope Whittaker, an accountant. A sensible, do things the right way, soon-to-be-married accountant. Penelope is engaged to the wonderful, kind and caring Ben Miller ... a man she has known forever.
Enter Single Dad.
While on a school run, Penelope accidentally locks her keys in her car. A seemingly boring event, until she is offered aid by a very handsome and personable Single Dad. Shaken by the encounter, or, more to the point, shaken by her reaction to the encounter, Penelope tries to put it where it belongs on a shelf marked "Chance Encounters".
Life has different plans.
"Written with sharp and witty dialogue, this story shows that most couples can lose the spark that once existed but that doesn't mean it has to stay that way." 7 out of 10
-- Chick Lit Club
"A fast, enjoyable summer read and lovable characters. The grass is not always greener on the other side and this book has us looking at both sides of the grass."
-- Adventuring through Life
"This was a really fun, fast read. I think that most women can relate to feeling like they are in that rut, and wanting to spice things up in their lives and relationships." 3.5 out of 5

Breaking Even eBook Kathleen Kole
3.5 Stars:Penelope has been engaged to Ben for quite some time but has not yet set a date. Ben has two brothers, Grayson and Paul who are married to Kim and Renee respectively. (At first I thought Renee and Kim were also sisters since the closeness between all of them seemed a bit over-the-top, but once I got a grip on how everyone was or was not related, it was smooth sailing.)
When Penelope locks her keys in her car after dropping her nephews off at school, she is rescued by Scott, an extremely handsome and friendly "Single Dad," Her strong physical reaction (and attraction) to Single Dad makes her re-think the choices she has made and threatens to throw the course of her future off kilter.
What I enjoyed most about this book was how close the reader was allowed to get into the minds of all of the characters as opposed to just one. I felt like I was a fly on the wall of someone else's family.
This book is very suspenseful and although I won't give anything away, I found myself wondering who Penelope would end up with and who she should end up with because sometimes it is not as simple as "you are engaged. You should marry the guy to whom you are engaged because he got there first." Sometimes, people do not marry the right guy. And sometimes, they meet the right person while they are already attached to someone else. As such, I wasn't rooting for anyone in particular in this case. There were times during the book when I thought Penelope was completely in denial about how her feelings for Single Dad affected her relationship to Ben. But I also felt for her and understood her confusion as well as the excitement she felt with Scott even while she was engaged to and in love with Ben. And there were times I thought her sisters-in-law-to-be were extremely judgmental as if the possibility of Penelope deciding that Ben might not actually be the right guy for her was so unheard of or all about them. And I did not agree with their contention that it is not "normal" for a married/attached woman who sincerely loves her partner to also lust someone else unless that person is famous, like Bradley Cooper." Please. People can be in love with one person and still have lustful feelings for another. We cannot help who we are attracted to. All we can do is control what we do about it. I also felt really bad for Ben and his brothers at times because those women could be serious drama queens!
Although the ending gave me the warm and fuzzies, I thought it was just a bit too convenient and wish there had been a bit more conflict before the happy ending.
In sum I thought the book was very easy to read, enjoyable and thought provoking.

Breaking Even eBook Kathleen Kole Reviews
3.5/5
Penelope, a smart and sensible accountant, is engaged to her longtime boyfriend, Ben. Things seem to be going well until she meets Scott, a gorgeous single dad, while dropping her nephews off at school. After hitting it off with Scott, she starts questioning her engagement, and starts feeling like they are in a rut, or are an “old married couple,” as she says. She begins to get a makeover, and fights with Ben nonstop, all the while daydreaming about Scott. Alongside her are the wives of Ben’s two brothers, Kris and Renee, who are also having some issues of their own, and together, they talk, gossip and share secrets about their relationships.
This was a really fun, fast read. I think that most women can relate to feeling like they are in that rut, and wanting to spice things up in their lives and relationships. Because of this, Penelope and her future sisters in law are very relatable characters with realistic drama.
At the same time, I couldn’t help but feeling somewhat upset and frustrated with Penelope. She has a really good guy who loves her, yet she keeps picking fights with him, and daydreaming about someone else. Maybe it just means he’s not the one for her? Or maybe they just need to work on their relationship?
I really liked Kris and Renee. The dynamic between the three females was great! They support each other, help each other out (dropping off each other’s kids to school, helping with Renee’s cake business), and even fight. They seem to be true best friends, not just sisters in law. They both had little story lines of their own which was a great extra to the story.
All in all, this was a fun little romance/chick lit read. If you’re in the market for something light, fresh, and true to life, this is the book for you! It could have used a bit more polishing and editing, but overall I think this was a nice debut from Kathleen Kole. I will definitely read her upcoming novel Dollars to Donuts.
This story is also appropriate for readers 14+, in my opinion. Nothing too graphic or inappropriate.
Loved this book. Great summer read, very entertaining...looking forward for more books from Kathleen Kole..well worth the money..well written & the twists & turns keep you reading...Thank you Kathleen!
I loved this story! Excellent storyline told in a way that makes you feel all of the lust, pain, & anguish felt by all of the characters particularly Penelope, a very strong woman with strong feelings but always a sense of what's right. Most of us have the felt the emotions of some if not all, of the characters at one time or the other.
Most enjoyable read, highly recommend.
